(Community) Roll For Initiative: The Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG Dynasty [Archive]

So, recently released (on both PDF and in print) is Goodman Games's (Goodman Games (www.goodman-games.com)) Dungeon Crawl Classics, which is an early AD&D sensibility combined with 3E-based rules.

They have a very unique recommended method of generating characters.

Step 1: Roll 3d6 six times, assign stats in order as follows: Strength, Agility, Stamina, Personality, Intelligence and Luck (that's right, no arranging to fit, no point buy, no drop lowest die, etcetera. This game as the name states, is OLD school. Luck

Step 2: Roll a d100 (or choose) for your character's occupation. This does not mean his class, but what he did before becoming an adventurer.This determines what (if any) weapon you're trained in, and what (if any) trade goods you carry.

Step 3: Determine Alignment: (Lawful, Neutral or Chaotic. There is no good/evil axis)

Step 4:Add the following touches:

A) 1d4 HP, modified by stamina
B) 5d12 Copper Pieces
C) One random piece of equipment
D) One piece of equipment and one weapon that you're trained with according to your occupation (see step 2)
E) An attack and save modifier of +0.

Congrats, you've created your very own 0-level adventurer wanna be!

What's that you say? "O-level characters are awful. A pussycat can kill them. How the heck do you expect me to play with a character this bad?"

Well, that's the kick. The game recommends that you create two to four of them for the first game. It is likely that some or most of your characters will die in that first game. From the survivors form a true adventuring party, first level characters who from humble beginnings will grow and shake the world! (or be eaten by some horrible creature in a crypt below ground.. actually the whole being eaten thing is still more likely, Level 1 is miles better then 0-Level, but it's nowhere near EASY Street mind you.)

Once a 0-level character hits 10 XP, they can select a class and gain all the benefits of a 1st level character.

So the very brief storyline behind this Dynasty is as follows: The tiny hamlet of Karstings is under attack from a small travelling band of Orcs. The Karstings "militia".. (that is every person able to understand that you try to put the pointy end of the weapon into the enemy) has been called out to defend the town.

Rules to participate:

We will have a maximum of six players (24 0-level PC's in all). If there's more then five, I guess I'll have to create a second dynasty..

Use the "Party of Four" generator available at the Purple Sorcerer website:

Dungeon Crawl Classics 0-Level Party Generator (http://purplesorcerer.com/create.htm)

Copy the results here, giving each member of your "Party of Four" a name.

I'm going to post mine, but if I need to be DM only (IE, we get max players), I'll drop my players.

If your full party of four all gets killed, generate a fresh Party of Four (it'll be assumed they've either just shown up at the town, was too busy being craven and hiding in their homes, etcetera)

My Party Of Four will be posted in the next post.

Well now, it looks like we have seven, I'll just run with it. Might take a bit longer to do turns... ;)

The tiny hamlet of Karstings has spent the last week rejoicing. The Orc Lord Shammoth's massive army has been repulsed, thanks to the assistance of the King's Guard, and some high level magics. But even as the Orc Lord was slain, some of his Orcs and Goblins were fleeing, and not even the valient efforts of the badly mauled King's Guard could not round them all up,

Yesterday, a rider on an exhausted pont rode in to town. It seems a remnant of the fiendish army had been spotted making a beeline for the small town. They obviously wante to plunder the town in an attempt to forget their great loss, and to perhaps start gathering up other such remnants to possibly start the process of rebuilding the green skin army..

A rider has been dispatched to summon the King's Guard, but there's no way that the Guard can return in time to save the town. This looks like a job for seasoned adventurers, ones whocan effortlessly slay tens of the foul Greenskins at a time. Unfortunately, there's no such bands in the area. Instead, it is up to the humble Karsting's Militia to defend the town. Can they hold off the raving greenskins, or will Karstings possibly be the first step towards forming a new Greenskin horde to threaten the Kingdom again?

((Rules for Combat))

To save time, I will roll initiative for each PLAYER (not each character).. When your turn comes up in initiative, any and all characters you have at the scene take an action.

Assuming you're attacking, roll all your dice at the same time

A) A d20 for your attack (modified by your weapon's to hit modifier from your character sheet)

B) Your weapon's damage (again from your character sheet)

Special Rules:
A) If you roll a natural 20, that's a possible critical. Roll another d20 to "confirm" the critical, if that second roll beats the opponent's Armor Class, you critically hit (and I'll roll for the exact effect)

B) If you roll a natural 1, that's a fumble. I get to roll on a fumble table to determine what's happening to you.

C) You can spend points of the character's Luck score to modify dice rolls (on a 1 for one case). These points will not refresh during the battle for Karstings, and there will be instances where the modifier to your CURRENT Luck Score will be applied to a roll. so if you need a bit of luck, go ahead and spend some points, but remember, Karma can be a bitch

D)Any monster reduced to 0 HP or less is out of combat (and assume slain). ANy 0-level character (like the characters in this game) reduced to 0 or less is instantly slain. So any fight can be your character's last. So, look for ways to stack the deck before combat if you can :)

E) Each "encounter" will be worth 2-4 XP, depending on how difficult it is. THe less players you bring (and the less survive), the more XP it's worth. Remember, you need 10 XP to level your character up to first level.

F) You can commit any or all of your characters to an encounter (you can save them for future encounters if need be), but only characters present at an encounter earn XP.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/ is a dice roller I use for online games, you can use it or a similar dice roller, just post a URL to the results so I can confirm.

Death to the Greenskins!

SirFozzie

The first two encounters are as follows:

Encounter 1: "Scuttle the Scouts" -- STORYLINE

As the various members of the stranded traders party and the town's Militia form up in the center of town, an eagle eyed scout reports that a number of goblin scouts have been spotted, Obviously, they goblins have spotted the town, but aren't onrushing.. being naturally cowardly, they'e sneaking up on the town to try to catch any townsmen unaware (and of course, to get first crack at any loot from the homes, and the chance to burn things first as well)

So, obviously, a party must be formed to drive the goblin scouts away, and ideally slay them all before they can report back to the orc band.

Encounter 2: "Recover the supplies" -- OPTIONAL

One of the trade caravans that were attacked was carrying a couple crates intended for the King's Guard. Perhaps the caravan would have items that would aid the town's defense? But a group must quickly set out, if the orcs get a hold of it, then the remaining supplies will be of no use to the town's defenders.

Decide the following things for your characters:

A) Which members of your "Party of Four" are going to which encounter. Encounter 1 is a "Storyline" encounter. Failure to defeat the goblins will make future encounters more difficult. Encounter 2 is an OPTIONAL mission. Recovering the supplies will provide equipment to make future encounters easier, but failing to complete it (or attempt it) will not make things any harder.

B) Characters can only go to ONE encounter. If you choose to send a character to repel the goblin scouts, they won't be available to raid the caravan for supplies. Same applies vice versa

C) You CAN split the party of four, to be at both encounters

Encounter 1 Victory Terms

Goblins Total Victory: More then 50% of townsfolks slain (rest fled), more then 50% of Goblins survive

Goblins Victory: More then 50% of townsfolks slain, more then 50% of Goblins Killed (if word gets out that the town is being actively defended)

Draw: More then 50% of townsfolk killed, all goblins killed (no goblin flees to tell the orc band about the town's defenses

Town Victory: Less then 50% of townsfolk killed, more then 50% of goblins killed (word gets back to the band that the town is defended)

Town Complete Victory:Less then 50% of townsfolk killed, all goblins killed (no word gets back to the orc army)

Decide what you want to do.

This sounds fun, I was seriously considering jumping in, but decided to follow and get a feel for it and then maybe join in a later game. Good luck all

Fozzie do we know whether to expect fighting while recovering supplies ?

SirFozzie

Unknown, IF there are no baddies around, it just becomes a matter of finding what you can take and getting out of there before the greenskin hordes DO arrive.. if there are baddies around, you will have to clear thingsout before you can recover material

Ok, I think we have one player left for split, but I'll post the description and graphic for Encounter 1 now:

Encounter 1: SCUTTLE THE SCOUTS

The scout gave you enough warning that you have a couple minutes to prepare yourself and take positions. You see the area where the Goblins will likely come from, as this edge of the town borders a small wooded area that the Goblins have already been seen to enter. The farmland is filled with growing corn, and the stalks have already grown high. The party can set up traps, or position themselves as necessary. Hidden characters may get surprise if a goblin wanders close enough to attack.

I've attached the graphic to this post. study up, and come up with a plan (let's say by six PM EDT tommorrow?) at which time, it's on like Donkey Kong. Or like goblin kong.. or something like that.

CrimsonFox

Oops Fozzie I confused my own characters.

BANC the stonemason is the one going to encounter 1. GRONK the shroomfarmer is going to enc 2 with the others.

They are brothers so it's hard to tell them apart.

hoopsguy

I think we would want to have them convene on the Hut, where we could ambush them from all sides, if at all possible. Is there anything we could put there that looks especially valuable to lure them in? Food, some wealth, whatever?

I'm planning on having Waldak fire with his sling from cover (whatever cover is close enough to hit them, but otherwise as far away as possible) and have Ianrry concealing himself nearby with a knife to stab the first person who comes after Waldak.

Willing to adjust that plan as others chime in to help create a team approach.

CrimsonFox

06-20-2012, 07:48 AM

I am worried that they will just charge out of the woods and start setting everything on fire from the side (including us if we hide in the huts)

CrimsonFox

06-20-2012, 07:49 AM

I like the idea of planting a trap though. Maybe we can just make a little camp to the north of the hut and cook some meat there. A whole bunc hof it. I have no gold myself. I was thinking of hiding in the NW house.

ntndeacon

06-20-2012, 08:02 AM

I thought of putting Faloola in the corn to watch our flank and putting Shep in the NE House. Shep has a goat.

CrimsonFox

06-20-2012, 08:05 AM

goat = perfect bait!

CrimsonFox

if anyone else wants to make better plan feel free but just don't make it "stand out in the open"

ntndeacon

06-20-2012, 01:43 PM

guys, we DO have to do this by 6.

I start a campfire north of the central hut and put some meat on it (if i have none I catch a rabbit or something). Get the smell going.

I hide in the NW house then ready for attack

Shep ties his goat to the central hut and goes and hides in the NE house.

Faloola gets under cover of the corn, and waits to ambush the goblins from there. She can also sound an alarm if the goblins try to surround us.

Zinto

06-20-2012, 01:53 PM

Do you guys think it would be wise to place more then one trap so that way we can split up the goblins? Having them all in one place would likely put us at a disadvantage.

ntndeacon

06-20-2012, 02:02 PM

not a bad idea Zinto, Maybe put the goat and Shep too near the westernmost house to get a little distance?

Zinto

06-20-2012, 02:16 PM

Yeah creating some distance is a good plan. Staying out of that house is probably a good idea so that, if they burn down a house we will see that one get burned first.

Poli

06-20-2012, 02:28 PM

Baby Davin is almost here. Trying to keep up!

ntndeacon

06-20-2012, 03:13 PM

good point about burning houses. how about Shep going to the South House while the goat stays at the west one tied up on the west side of the building.

Zinto

06-20-2012, 04:05 PM

I am not sure that CF is going to come back in time and he sent his guy into the NW house so trying to lure them there doesn't seem like a great plan.

Poli

06-20-2012, 04:25 PM

Z, anything I should do?

Zinto

06-20-2012, 04:45 PM

So, I think we should spread out a little and place meat(if we have it) and the the goat in the north east and north west. I think I am going to send both Seamorn and Davward behind the middle hut and have them hide there.

Zinto

06-20-2012, 04:52 PM

Davward will make a campfire with meat a little to the East of the most NW house, after he and Seamorn hide behind that same house.

Zinto

06-20-2012, 04:56 PM

Yeah Poli, if you want to hide behind the center or eastmost hut then we should be in decent position to start this battle.

law90026

06-20-2012, 09:37 PM

My 3 guys will hide behind the center hut and spring out when the time comes! (or possibly just cower in fear)

SirFozzie

06-20-2012, 09:41 PM

Ok, I'll have the initial status and all that up overnight

CrimsonFox

06-20-2012, 09:41 PM

Banc will wait in the NW house until goblins go to the various places and split up. Will attack those that head for the center hut and mill around.

Poli

06-20-2012, 10:04 PM

Yeah Poli, if you want to hide behind the center or eastmost hut then we should be in decent position to start this battle.

Sounds good. I want to go with this.

Baby Davin is alive and well.

Zinto

06-20-2012, 10:07 PM

Sounds good. I want to go with this.

Baby Davin is alive and well.

Congrats Poli!

CrimsonFox

06-20-2012, 11:59 PM

oh yeah an addendum to my personal plan is that if I see goblins tearing out of the woods with fire set on burning everything down, I will try to prevent them from doing so.

SirFozzie

06-21-2012, 12:07 AM

Ok, I just realized that I gave you till six pm thursday (dang time zones)..

This is what I have so far.. I think there's four or so people left to be placed, and double check your character's location and make sure I got your suggestions right

Poli

06-21-2012, 01:44 AM

I dont see Pentagarn or Baltek anywhere...but it might be the 2am talking.

Can I follow Z's advice?

Poli

06-21-2012, 01:44 AM

Let's hide center if I need more specifics.

Encounter 1 Turn 1

The foul goblins advance slowly.. they chatter in their own corrupt tongue, chattering happily. they think they've snuck up on the stupid silly humans successfully. There are building to burn, things to pillage, and look, a goat to eat! Truly, the goblin lord Grommorsh has shone upon them this day.

They advance through the treeline, heedless of any traps.. after all, they're smart and sneeky and would see any stupid oomies waiting in ambush right? The goat gives out a half bleat, half groan, as it realizes it's been left to become a meal for squabbling goblins.. but your fingers tense around their weapons, and you ready to spring from cover...

Turn 1 orders due by 6PM friday. I will try to be on through out the day to update goblin turns as they come up, you CAN submit/change your orders before your turn, when your turn comes up, if you have standing orders, I will execute them when your turn comes up.

If you're doing anything that requires a dice roll, use the invisible castle site I use for my rolls, and copy the URL with the dice roll to your action. Assume that you can get into Hand to hand combat this round if you need to (the goblins are surpirised if you guys break out and attack, otherwise they will get a chance to spot you as they advance closer.[/i]

Turn 1 Order:

Goblin 9 (19)
Law90026 (Woodie/Sleazy/Leia) (17)
Hoopsguy: (Waldark/Ianrry) (16)
Goblin 3
Goblin 7
Gobilin 1 (14)
