Podcast | Spellburn

The Spellburn podcast is now on its 93rd episode!  It’s hard to believe, but it’s true! Back when Judge Jim, Jeffrey and Jobe started Spellburn, they were mainly setting out to verbally pore over the new Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG.   Eight years later, Spellburn is here to stay, but there are other great podcasts about DCC out there, including the Foreign Beggars, Ravenlord and Dirt Boy Blues Actual Play podcasts done by Harrison Hunt and friends, known collectively as the Tabletop Twats.   We’re excited to have another International DCC superstar with us today!

Hubris, noun: excessive pride or self-confidence that leads a person to disregard the divinely-fixed limits on human action in an order of chaos. While defying the gods is no longer viewed as a crime, as it was in ancient Greece, it is regarded as a tragic flaw in the human psyche. That said, if you’ve read anything on the Land of Hubris, World of Visceral Adventure, you’re not surprised that it spawns from the DCC community. It may be hubristic of us, but we’re pretty proud of this episode. Stuff referenced in this episode! Hubris for DCC RPG Death is the New Pink Mike’s Dungeons City of the Damned The Hobonomicon (Doug Kovacs & friends) In the Shadow of the Ruby Tricepticon (Tribute to Niel Peart) House of the Red Doors Terror of the Stratosfiend Podcast: Mike Evans and Friends Crawl for the Cure at Gary Con 2020!

You've got Hubris!

Do you guys remember the year 2016? Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump competed for Mr. and Mrs. America, Justin Beiber was the top of the charts, and people were gleefully wandering into traffic while playing Pokemon Go. And if you were anything like me, you weren’t paying attention to any of that, because you were OBSESSED with DCC RPG. So today, we’ll take a look at the amazing contributions made by folks like us for our community way back in 2016. Stuff referenced in this episode!

Pure Campaign Action!

Go to the cons, hang out on the Tweeters and the Faceboxes, and sooner or later, you’ll hear some internet guy or black-tshirt person making the assertion that “DCC is great for one-shot games, but it would never work for a campaign.”  IS IT TRUE? We’re going to find out with none other than Andy Action, campaign OSR Judge extraordinaire as well as yours truly and a little help from Judge Jen and Judge Jeff.
