This was a zero level funnel held at Game a Thon in Buffalo, MN on 1 January 2019. Solid game, near TPK, but all three players came back two hours later for the second game (q.v.)
This was a level one adventure, a sequel to Epsilon City Blues, and had all three players from the previous game return, as well as three others, and took them into the service, or C-decks of the Warden (Met Alpha homebrew).
This was a level one MCC game held at Tower Games in Minneapolis when our monthly Saturday Night Space Opera game needed a second table. Jen’s Numenera game could only handle seven players, so I ran a second table (of eight players) and game them level one pre-gens. A fantastic game, a near TPK (one survivor only) when one player decided that a pyrokinesis mutation was just the ticket when fighting a living metal overseer in the room with hot and cold running fusion generators. Good stuff.
At Gateway Games and More in Cincinnati. Hosted by myself, and promoted by the store owner, Todd. I ran the first session of 2019 in my ongoing DCC campaign that went through the entire year in 2018.
Saturday night at 6 PM. DCC is playing the level 1 Mutant Crawl Classic post-apocalyptic adventure “Assault on the Sky High Tower”. You are a brand new team of Seekers being sent on your first official mission to obtain artifacts of the ancients for your tribe. We’ll start at 6 to roll up new characters from last week. I will have some pregens ready for new people who want to play. I also have a selection of Epic PC’s with artifacts and high stats. We’ll roll to see who gets the awesome OP character. Hope to see you there. — at Secret Door Games.
Saturday night 6:30 pm-DCC at Secret Door. There are legends of god-like titans that inhabit the world beneath us, cosmic behemoths that move through earth like you move through air. This is the last thing on your mind as you’ve just come off the road after a long adventure. You are strung out, road ugly and happy to find a nice cozy inn to eat, drink and get some much needed sleep. You are awakened by an earthquake and the sound like a god gritting his teeth. The inn has been swallowed deep into the earth and a second quake buries it under a mile of rubble. You and the other strangers find yourself in a huge cavern that leads into the darkness, or a second smaller cave leading in a different direction. Will you survive in the “Wake of the Zorkul”? No quest, no princess to rescue, just survive and possibly escape.
Level 1 and 2 adventure. If you’re a real glutton for death I’ll let you play 4 level zeros. I have great pregens ready to to go. Hope to see you there.
Dead Man’s Hand was a level 2 MCC adventure at Con of the North. Great participation by all. Lots of deaths. Excellent RP’ing by the entire crew, especially Johnson Whacks, who crushed the skull of her foe with a force baton when it really needed crushing.

It often helps for beginning players to have advice on how to play Dungeons & Dragons. Many points are overlooked by novices in their eagerness to get on with the adventure. The following points are given to help these neophite players.
Most importantly, players should be organized and cooperative. Each player should have complete information on his or her character easily on hand and should supply the Dungeon Master with this information quickly and accurately if asked. An adventuring parry will usually involve a variety of alignments and classes, so players should work together to use their abilities effectively. Arguing among players can cause delays, attract monsters, and often result in the wasting of precious resources or even the deaths of some or all of the members. While disagreements about a course of action certainly arise from time to time, players should quickly discuss their options and reach a consensus in order to proceed.
Cooperation s hould also be given to the DM. He or she is the judge of the game and his or her decisions are final. If a player disagrees, he or she should calmly state why, but accept whatever the DM decides. If necessary, the topic can be discussed outside of the game, but for the sake of all players, avoid prolonged disruptions of play. Shouting, crying, pouting, or refusing to accept decisions only angers the other players. The game should be fun for all involved. Not everything will go the way players want it. As such, the DM deserves the continued cooperation, consideration, and respect of all the players. Above all, remember that this is just a game and a little consideration can go far toward avoiding any hard feelings.
Planning is another important part of play. Players should be well equipped, comparing each member’s List and balancing the items on each. No character should be overburdened nor under-equipped. This may mean sharing the costs of extra items. Rope, oil, torches, spikes, and other useful items should always be carried. Plans should be considered for encountering monsters and casting spells.
Caution is also necessary and is a part of planning. A party that charges forward without preparation is almost certainly doomed. Danger should be expected at any moment and from any direction, possibly even from one’s own party. Lying and trickery are not unknown. Cautious play will help avoid many (but not all) tricks and traps and may save a character’s life. However, too much caution is as dangerous as too little. Many instances will require bold and quick actions on the part of the players, before all is lost. As you gain playing experience you will learn the proper pace, but often it is wise to rely on your DM for guidance.
Everything you need to play will be provided if you don’t have it.
