The Best Sci-Fi Film 1965-1990 for a DCC/MCC Adventure?
"As if millions of voices suddenly cried out KRULL, and then were suddenly silent..."
What other movies from this era would make a great adventure?
As summer returns and the cicadas emerge, O' Happy Dagger! proceeds apace! We have been working with the other creators to try to streamline fulfillment, and the teams meet again tonight with sharpened pencils to hash out the details.
In the meantime, the amazing Matt Morrow is making good progress on the epic two-page spread, and we are proofreading the module. With the Purple Planet "mothership" off to the printers, you can be assured that our contribution will be ready to go when the time comes.
Thanks once again for your support, and we can't wait to bring this adventure to you!
Thank you all for making this project an interplanetary success! In the final hours, you even cleared the final Achievement, so look for an EPIC double-page illustration in O' Happy Dagger!
We've been honored to be part of Goodman Games' first multi-publisher campaign, and we're thrilled to bring this latest adventure to life. All of that being said, though, the best part of this project has been meeting all of you, sharing book and movie recommendations, and imagining what magic would be like if it required really good shoes... Keep in touch by commenting on our Updates, watching our Twitch show Honor Among Thieves on the Goodman Games channel (our next show is Sunday, March 10th, at 6:30 p.m. EST), following us on social media, and joining the Honor Among Thieves Discord.
What Happens Next?
O' Happy Dagger! is drafted, and most of the illustrations are complete...although we have a BIG new commission for Matt Morrow now! Once that's done, we will begin proofreading, finalizing the layout, and working with Goodman and the other publishers to figure out how best to handle shipping. We will be following their lead on this, since completion of the main Adventures on the Purple Planet book will set the timeline. As we get closer to completion, you will receive a survey from us asking for all of the information we need to get this adventure to you!
THANK YOU!
We've had a ball on this campaign. We are grateful for your support, and, yes, we are honored.
As newbie to the world of DCC, the experience of backing the Purple Planet collection of projects has been stellar! Not only have I discovered a plethora of creators, adventures and accessories for my games, but I’ve also run into very nice people who have shared generously from their experience and preferences.
I’m coming away not only with the goodies from the projects, but also:
- Fantastic book and film recommendations
- Lists of mind-blowing adventures to try
- Links to amazing online shows, many hosted by the creators of the projects themselves
- Many other incredible game resources
It’s been incredibly fun to enjoy this campaign, and I’ll miss coming back to check out other people’s comments, though I’ll have to come back to compile all the treasure listed above.
All the best to all of you lovely Purple Planet people!
It's that time again--here's your weekly update from the barren wastes and Ancestral Peaks! Thanks to YOU, we are only $750 away from achieving an incredible double-page spread illustration for O' Happy Dagger! We are grateful!
Meet the Horde!
Did you miss last night's special show featuring nearly the entire HORDE of third-party publishers on the Goodman Games Official Twitch channel? (I bet you didn't miss the emails!) Or Honor Among Thieves and "So You Think You're A Kith?" on Sunday? Don't worry; you can still catch the re-runs on the Goodman Games Official Twitch channel!
New Dangers!
The Purple Planet teems with dangers, making travel a very dangerous proposition. You may even have to worry about...STAMPEDES! Check out this great drawing from Colin Richards:
Hooves that generate electricity? No thank you!
Join the Conversation!
We're having a ball in the Community section talking science fiction and RPGs. Stop by and say hello! Jump in with our latest poll. The Purple Planet is actually a post-apocalyptic setting, where the remnants of ancient civilizations bleach beneath the fatal rays of a weirdling sun. Where else should our DCC heroes-to-be roam?
End Transmission
We are approaching the end of our campaign, but we still have time for one more update...and perhaps more surprises? Please share our project with your community, and let's see what we can bring to life on the Purple Planet!
It’s been a week since our last update, and you continue to astound us with your amazing support. We are less than $1200 away from our next Achievement goal! With your help, we can add an EPIC two-page spread illustration to our module, a vista worthy of this amazing setting. Please spread the word!
"Let's hear those telephones ringing!"
The Horde Marches Together!
In an effort to simplify and streamline shipping, ALL of the publishers involved in the Purple Planet campaign have pledged to work with Goodman Games so that all rewards ship together! We are working hard to make shipping easier on the wallet and the planet, Purple and otherwise!
And the Horde Grows Stronger!
And speaking of the Horde, all of the Purple Planet campaigns are fully funded and unlocking new Achievements left and right! Each campaign is providing an exclusive drop-in encounter and Rune Lore sheet, and Goodman Games is rewarding everyone who backs their project plus two more with three custom six-siders! If it’s been awhile, be sure to check out all of the exciting campaigns!
So. Much. Cool. Stuff.
Open Comms
Where can you chat about everything from The Warriors to Captain Alatrise? Our Community Discussion page! Come share your take on the best novel for a DCC/MCC campaign, and more. And speaking of sharing your take, what recent sci-fi series is a must-see? Take the poll and let us know! (And if we left your choice out, please share it in the comments!)
Honor Among Thieves
Finally, if you missed us last Sunday, be sure to check out our Twitch show Honor Among Thieves on the GoodmanGamesOfficial channel. Get the inside scoop on the Horde from our fellow publishers, and watch an unfortunate group of peasants fight for survival in Castaways on the Purple Planet. Older episodes are on YouTube, and you can join us live on Sunday, February 25th, at 6:30 p.m. EST.
Look at this collection of Kith warriors!
Ending Transmission
In an effort to spare your inbox, we send updates once a week, but again, join us in the Community section of the campaign. And THANK YOU!
O’ Happy Dagger! took off like a Dimensional Raider’s longship, funding in under two hours! Since then, our amazing community has unlocked our first Achievement, and now every backer will receive a text-free PDF of Matt Morrow’s incredible cover. Thank you!
A mushroom by any other name...means trouble!
But that’s not all! As of this writing, we are less than $2,000 away from the next Achievement: adding a double-page spread illustration capturing the Purple Planet and some of its strange inhabitants in epic style. Please "spread" the word and help us unlock this addition to the adventure.
The Purple Planet Horde Marches On!
This Backerkit campaign brings Goodman Games together with seven different third-party publishers to provide unique Dungeon Crawl Classics content to the Purple Planet…and beyond! With all “Horde” campaigns funded, each module writer is adding exclusive drop-in encountersto their campaign’s pledges. Backers of O’ Happy Dagger! receive ours–THE LOST GLOBE!
All the world's a stage--even on the Purple Planet!
Each module campaign is now also providing a unique Rune Lore sheet. As all who travel the Purple Planet know, mysterious runes cover the strange technological relics from the world’s ancient civilizations. What do they mean? Our backers will learn the results of research by “Chief Science Minister C’gnathius Newtorius, Prepared for His Magnificence, Nos Al’Retep of House Cotcsyt, May His Stone Never Dim.”
Now you can get exclusive access to Ascended Master research!
Finally, everyone who backs Goodman Games’ Purple Planet Adventures, along with at least two third-party projects–like ours!--receives THREE Purple Planet-themed six-sided dice. That’s right–get your 3d6 fix!
The Purple Planet Streams through the Phlogiston!
Join us Sunday, February 11th, at 6:30 p.m. EST for a special episode of our Twitch show Honor Among Thieves. We’ll welcome Aaron Creader of Studio 9 Games, James Pozenel of Horse Shark Games, and John Cornyn of Roll Funky Dice. In addition to discussing their projects and their exclusive Achievements, we’ll learn if they have what it takes to be a Kith warrior in our online scavenger hunt “So You Think You’re a Kith?” Then stick around for the start of a Purple Planet Actual-Play campaign, starting with our original funnel Castaways on the Purple Planet.
Join us for fun and games
Then on Monday, February 12th, at 9:00 p.m. EST, tune into the Maw of Mike to get a behind the scenes look at the Purple Planet from Michaal Curtis. Only on the Goodman Games Official Twitch channel!
That’s all for now! Keep your phase swords charged, and please spread the word about O' Happy Dagger!and ALL the Purple Planet campaigns!
Thank you all for unlocking our first achievement! All backers will now receive a text-free PDF of Matt Morrow's incredible art!
Our next goal? An epic DOUBLE-PAGE illustration for the book, enough space to capture the wonders of the Purple Planet terrain. Imagine passing that around the table to show your players!
In an effort to keep some space free in your inbox, the HORDE is keeping our updates to a minimum. But I want to thank you all for supporting O' Happy Dagger! Watch our page for new Achievement goals!
