so if you get a 18 your ac is not 18 you just dodge really well when he tried to hit you
Jun 30, 2025 11:06 pm
or really bad if he got a nat 20

Are we using modifiers or straight abilities scores.

If I have 5str do I rolll 1d20+5 or 1d20+mod.

Sound like it is straight Attributes
So combat would be attacker 1d20+DEX - defender 1d20+DEX
Assuming STR a damage modifier : unarmed damage = STR

Will skills be a factor for rolls in the game or just be role play and result flavoring?

No worries. As I recall DCC system treated previous naturally learned skills different from those gained through system achievements, but they did still have some lesser impact. So background skills can be ignored or taken into account later

you were thinking about life walking next to your friends. It happend so fast the buildings smashed down to the ground. you watched it happen the seven story apartment building was there one moment the next gone. wind rushed at you, and it was instantly Dark outside the street lamp to the left was gone the cars here gone too. everything was gone. except the trees and the bicycles in the bike racks you looked around the freezing wether momentarily gone and in the distance-- a distance you can now see thanks to the lack of buildings - a fire burning

yes d20 with mod almost like dnd except you both roll and whoever gets higher hits/dodge for example p1 hits m1 they both roll a d20 plus mod if any and m2 gets higher so he dodgesn
and you roll a percent die and depending on your stats i determine with the help of yall how much dmg you do
the reason im using a percent die a d100 is beacse it would be far to slow and confuing i fine its easier to not roll 4d6 plus 5d4 type of stuff but just roll a percent die like you roll 98 and your str is 8 you do maybe do 15 - 30 dmg

Is that to be the opening scene for each/all of us?
It might be more clear if we created a separate thread for the story or all future OOC

Jul 1, 2025 4:03 am
sorry im still new to this website but yes that was it untill i putted a slightly changed one in the this is where we will be playing forum

No worries. Ooc happens in some games while some GM forcing it in other threads or forum. But as this is a creation in progress I just think it best to separate things as discussions might get involved, especially at first.
You can edit the title if the first post on this thread to change the thread title. Maybe make this a general ooc separate from rules and game play.

I am going to give you a suggestion to help your post look a little nicer.
(I am a lazy but this helps a lot)

Go to https://chatgpt.com/
I entered the following Prompt.
Quote:
I am running a forum-style Dungeon Crawler Carl Campaign.
Please rewrite everything I post with more detail.

It happened so fast.
the buildings smashed down to the ground. you watched it happen, the seven-story aparment building was there one moment the next gone. wind rushed at you and was instantly dark outside. The street lamp to yall left was gone. The buildings all around you was gone. The cars on the street was gone too. In the distance-a distance you can see thanks to the lack of buildings - a fire burned.
There was utter complete silence
This is what I received back.
Quote:
It happened in an instant.

One moment, the seven-story apartment building across the street stood tall, casting a long afternoon shadow over the cracked pavement. The next—it collapsed as if yanked into the earth by invisible hands. A thunderous crack filled the air as steel and concrete folded in on themselves, vanishing in a choking cloud of dust and debris.

You watched it happen. Not as a blur, but in horrifying clarity. The wind slammed into you with sudden violence, and the light vanished—blotted out like a candle in a storm. The streetlamp to your left, the one that always flickered at night, was simply gone. So were the cars parked along the curb. So were the other buildings.

Everything around you had vanished.

In the distance—farther than you should be able to see, now that the skyline was leveled—a fire burned. A pillar of smoke rose into the blackening sky, lit from beneath by flickering orange flame.

And then… silence.

Not the still quiet of a sleeping city, but something absolute. No sirens. No voices. Not even the hum of streetlights or the whir of distant traffic. Just a vast, awful emptiness pressing in from all sides.
I tend to do this with most of my post. My brain/writing isn't always perfect. Chatgpt is a great tool to double check writing and formatting and such.

Just a suggestion.
