Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC) RPG Core Rulebook - Softcover Edition

Return to the Golden Age of Roleplaying

You’re no hero. You’re an adventurer: a reaver, a cutpurse, a heathen-slayer, a tight-lipped warlock guarding secrets lost to time. Seek gold and glory, winning them with sword and spell, caked in the blood and filth of the weak, the dark, the demons, and the vanquished. There are treasures to be won deep in the hollows of the earth, and you shall have them!

The Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC) RPG Core Rulebook is a fast-paced, open-ended gaming system based on the further adventures of Appendix N. Goodman Games has created a modern system that captures the spirit of 1970s fantasy roleplaying while utilizing contemporary mechanics. Whether you are delving into a "character funnel" or casting volatile spells that could warp reality, DCC offers an unpredictable and thrilling experience at every turn.
