  In the DCC world, we love our music! Even dating back to the hallowed “G+ era”, we had Doug’s DCC Music group that turned people on to tons of great tunes. For a long time we’ve wanted to do a Spellburn episode with some DCC related bands and today that dream is coming true!  We’re going to talk to some inspirational musicians about DCC, music and RPGs, sources of inspiration and much more!

In just a week we will all get a chance to travel back to the Purple Planet! The DCC Sword and Planet setting of Harley Stroh and Doug Kovacs waxes into our collective consciousness once again.

If you’ve listened to Spellburn for a while, you know I love Third Party material– it’s what DCC is all about, the ferment, the foment, the vomit, the violence, all of it!  I love to see all the new stuff that people are cooking up all the time!  So that’s what we’re doing this month, with our pal Judge James Pozenel, Judge Stephen Surratt and Judge Phil Padovani!  All this and more on this month’s Spellburn!

We’ve covered lots of DCC and related third party zines, games and adventures on Spellburn before, but Judge Jen and I are finally sitting down with … maybe the guy who started all the third party madness?  Of course it’s Reverend Dak Ultimak, creator of the DCC ur-zine Crawl as well editor par excellence. And we’ll talk with Dak about ye olden days, plans for Crawl, GENCON, visit the email crypts and then– as if this wasn’t enough– we’re going to go deeper– and reminisce some more with some very special pizza-flavored guests– Joey Royale & Tim Deschene!  ALL THIS AND MORE ON THIS MONTH’S SPELLBURN!!!

  DCC’s been a gold standard of oldschool gaming for 10 years! There’s a ton of great content out there, from Goodman Games, from 3rd party publishers, free internet resources like Purple Sorcerer, and even (GUGHGHGBLLEAH) social media.  But what about people who make it happen behind the scenes?  Every adventure is full of good writing and art, but needs an editor and (really, really) needs a playtester or 20!  Tonight we talk to some of our favorites (and Judge Jen!)  Plus other gossip and malingering and a visit to the Email crypt!  All this and more on this month’s Spellburn!

DCC Dying Earth: it’s every bit as beautiful and faithful to the source material as we’d hoped, but…is it as daunting as the core book? Since DCC fans have come to Spellburn for the low-down on rules for the past decade, we’ll discuss some of the chewier Dying Earth rules with Judge Will Keller, one of the Demo Night judges who cut his teeth on them. We’ll also talk about some of the more entertaining pieces in the new setting with members of the Dying Earth writing team — and we may have a couple tidbits to share from the highly-anticipated Vance Manse trip!

There have been a lot of new people showing up in the DCC community and that means someone’s got to judge some DCC adventures!  These games aren’t going to run themselves!  We heard you, frantic ones!  Want some tips on running DCC, provided by old hands and one-time newbies alike?  We have got you covered with an all-star cast of judges to share their DCC hacks, pro tips and general judgesplaining.

So we were on hiatus for about a year… or a little more and a lot has happened between our last non-Twitch episode and our triumphant return in the holiday special!  One thing I was most excited about was to talk about third party DCC & MCC stuff with some of the greatest creators in the field.  So tonight I’m trying to make up for lost time with longtime MCC/DCC guys + podcast alums Forrest Aguirre & Jarredd Crader…  plus some of the wackiest and most wonderful third party guys out there, Dan Steeby and David Coppolettti.  Plus… a real zombie will read some old un-dead emails from the prior era of Spellburn!   Links for this episode: Beyond the Silver Scream Bronx Beasts Island of Lost Souls (for Bronx Beasts) DCC Class Alphabet Moon Mutants Trespassers of the Full Moon Tower Druna, Silver Goddess of the Moon (Patron)
