Welcome to Spellburn, a podcast about the Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game and old school adventuring.
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!

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!
