Hello everybody and welcome!

Feel free to introduce yourself and ask questions. As mentioned in the game description, I would like you to generate 4 0-level characters. It is up to you whether you wish to roll on GP or use Purple Sorcerer's generator. In case of the generator, please set the "Style/Format" to plain text and the "How many" to 5 Characters. Then simply pick your 4 favorite victims of fate and copy into your character sheet.

Don't hesitate to generate again if all your rolls are cursed, at least one of your characters should be able to survive the funnel.

Looking forward to playing with you!

Those are some nice rolls on Luck Orobu! Also an interesting composition of characters - a con artist, smuggler, mercenary and a vagrant? Almost looks like a smuggling group to me, perhaps the Curwens had some shady dealings in the past?

Hey all, just for transparency, I'm traveling today and tomorrow. So it'll probably be Sunday in the US when I get my characters posted.

Looks good Laura!

Esidrix no worries, I would like to start the game after the weekend, so there is still plenty of time. Thank you for the notice!

Hi everyone! Excited to join, thanks for having me. This will be my first DCC game, though I do have the rulebook and have browsed it as well as a few adventures. I was actually thinking about running a game on here in the near future and this seemed like a great way to get some experience. Looking forward to playing, will roll up my characters shortly.

Hi Everyone,

I seem to be representing the common folk of the town, a woodcutter, a ropemaker, a butcher and turnip farmer.....
Poor stats too...

Seifi excuse my question but does this mean in this game we play as all our characters?

Jun 18, 2022 3:35 pm

Jun 18, 2022 3:35 pm

I do see some potential in here! Of course as mentioned above, if you really feel that your characters are absolute garbage, you can reroll them. No point in playing if you feel absolutely useless!

@LauraChiGio Yes, we are playing a 0-level funnel, that meaning the players are starting with a higher number of essentially villager-level characters, some of which will hopefully live up to the end of the story and become adventurers. Do you have the core rulebook for the game? If not, I don't mind sharing mine.

I don’t have it sorry. Should I try get it?

No worries Laura! From what I understand you are new to GP - and that is completely fine.

Different games on this site use different game systems. Dungeon Crawl Classics (or DCC in short) is one such system and maybe you have heard of others, such as Dungeons & Dragons (DnD) or Pathfinder.

In order to play, you usually need to know a system of rules that the game adheres to. I am sending you the book explaining this system now and I would ask you to skim through it a bit - I will try to explain some stuff on the go, but it is still nice to know the basics.

Should you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to ask! I am sure we will all be happy to help.

Seifi, do you want us to make character sheets for each of the characters or will we only do that for the survivors?

Nice to meet everyone! Brand new to DCC. Trying not to read too much, but the charts are fascinating!

I am going to be out of contact from Wednesday to the following Tuesday, but I'll be rip-roaring to go after that. And will be on often in the mean time.

No reason to create a sheet for every single one of the characters, so I will ask you all to create a single character and copy the info into his sheet - plain text will suffice.

Please add names to your brave heroes, this is a good source of inspiration. As for the name of GP character, pick anything you want! Things like Brave villagers, The Fodder, The Citizens or any other will surely suffice.

@Orobu I absolutely adore those charts! Especially the ones dealing with magic - DCC has the most intriguing magic system I have ever read through!

Is it fine if I autopilot your characters in some cases? There should not be anything super-deadly in the first week of play (unless the group makes some poor decisions), so they should hopefully all survive until your return.

@seifi Of course. I wouldn't want to hold up the game!

Jun 19, 2022 2:34 pm

I believe that concludes our character creation.

I wish you a good game and should you have any requests, please do not hesitate to ask for them!
