Welcome to Spellburn, a podcast about the Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game and old school adventuring.
The smell of woodfire… the crackle of leaves….. The flash of ghostly presences out of the corner of your eye… the sound of Peter Frampton coming alive (wait… wrong podcast.) It’s almost Halloween! We’ve survived another year, another Game Hole Con, and tonight we bring you a bloodcurdling guest from the world of DCC Dark Fantasy…. An esteemed publisher, writer and youtuber, Mr. Nick Baran (even more terrifying, he also runs a merch booth at many conventions!) Welcome Judge Nick!

Hi-tech RPG campaigns take the fantastically magical and turn it into applied science. Tonight’s show is all space, computers, laser guns. The only swords we’ll be talking about are of the vibro variety. We’re going to dive into high tech games like MCC RPG and the various DCC 3rd party publications that bring sci-fi settings to the table in this month’s episode of Spellburn!
Important!

We’ve been talking about it for years, we’ve been doing it for months, and now it’s time for a deep dive on Organized Play in DCC RPG! But not with just anyone. No more, “But how does it work?” or “What is that, anyway?” We went to the man himself, the Slime-Lord, the judge who’s run 1000 Insane Worlds, the expert on deep space turtles, the provider of Blades against Bandwidth– yes, of course it’s X-Crawl Classics’s DJ LaBoss himself, Judge Brendan. ALL THIS, and we’re going to talk in the tavern, prep for GENCON (and Summer Knights Con), and much much more on this month’s Spellburn.

We’re only hours from the newest backerkit project Caverns of Thracia going live– a classic mega-dungeon adventure from Jennell Jaquays! We’re going to talk about Caverns of Thracia, as well as some other recent projects like Crypt of the Devil Lich, Dark Tower and more! And our guest is conversion king Judge Bob Brinkman!

It’s a superhuman and heroic spectacular tonight on Spellburn! They said it couldn’t be done, but in true DCC tradition, they did it anyway! I’m talking of course about superheroes, masked men, vigilante crusaders, dark night detectives and of course, mutants cursed to protect a world that despises them. Earth’s Mightiest Judges are joined by some new third party designers working on superhero games for DCC … all this and more on this month’s Spellburn!

Neither Chuck Barris nor the Unknown Comic will be in attendance this evening. Gonzo – what is it? How do you know your game is gonzo? It is one of those things that you’ll only know when you see it? Is DCC RPG the gonzo game some purport it to be?
Making his Spellburn debut, from Super Savage Systems, the Neon Lord himself, Brian Shutter creator of The Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland! Also making his first appearance on Spellburn is Martin Ouelet, headman at Headcheese Productions and author of Crime-Fighting Lucadores RPG!

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!
