Hello, all you high-rollers! It's May and we've received more news from our friends over at Metamorphic Digital Studio about progress on the Roll20 For DCC project. Right now all the core rulebook's images are loaded onto Roll20's servers, which is going to speed up the creation of the compendium once the cascading style sheets are loaded onto the platform as well. This will hopefully be done before the end of May and then things can really get chugging along. Then it's time to start tackling adventures!

Speaking of sheets, the devs have been adding flavor and decorative elements to the character sheets while this is all underway. When you choose your class, the character sheet style will change as well. Here are some examples of the decorated character sheets that Metamorphic shared with us. Anyone who knows the great artwork that goes into DCC products will be happy to see that the Roll20 version isn't skimping on these!

We here at Goodman Games are quite pleased with Metamorphic's progress and we'll continue to keep you fine backers updated as we receive regular status reports from their DCC Roll20 team. We're all looking forward to the day people around the globe can hop onto Roll20 for a new DCC RPG campaign without a ton of work needed. More to come when we hear it!

And for those who might have missed it, Roll20 recently announced that Roll20 will be coming to Discord as an Activity. Yes, you can now have you Roll20 peanut butter in your Discord chocolate! You can read about that here.

Caverns of Thracia Returns!

Backers might be interested to know that signups for advance notification of Goodman Games' next crowdfunding project are now live. Coming in less than two months will be Caverns of Thracia for both DCC RPG and 5e. This legendary adventure is jam-packed with more than 100 new monsters, a five-level dungeon, a ruined city, an island archipelago, plus new magic and spells, and offers a year or more of adventure around the table. Suitable for levels 1-10 (5e) or 1-5 (DCC), Caverns of Thracia makes for the perfect next installment in Goodman Games' ongoing OAR line of adventures. Please stop by the Caverns of Thracia landing page and sign up to be notified when the campaign goes live. Don't miss out on this one!

Hello all!

We're happy to report that Metamorphic is hard at work converting the DCC RPG rules over to Roll20. As you can imagine, with so many tables and charts, this isn't an easy or quick job, but the fine folks at Metamorphic are proving to be up to the challenge.

Just recently, they shared with us some details of the work in progress. We're greatly pleased with how things are going in just the short time they've been at work. Here are some screenshots of what they’re working on! . Check these out!

The text/math on these graphics are just placeholders for now, so don't worry if thing looks a little wonky. We want to make sure the big picture is working properly before we get down into the nitty gritty details. Bear in mind, too, that everything is still in the early stages and what you see here might not reflect where things end up. 

Once we get the majority of the DCC rulebook ported over to Roll20, work can begin converting the modules too. In the meantime, we here at Goodman Games haven't been idle. We're already at work on the cool art assets for the tokens and reviewing the module maps to see how best to convert them over to Roll20. This is going to be awesome!

We'll have more to report as Metamorphic sends us status updates and we'll share the news with you as we get it. Keep an eye our for more as we receive it!

Thank you all for supporting the Roll20 for DCC Backerkit campaign. We said at the start of this campaign that it would be up to the fans to determine if there was a desire to bring DCC RPG to Roll20 and you showed us without a doubt that there was. Your belief in this project was 100% responsible for it becoming a reality and we can’t thank you enough.

We ended last night a mere $140 short of the final stretch goal to add a seventh DCC module to the planned six Metamorphic is converting to Roll20. So, although we can’t thank you enough, we can say “close enough” and call that last stretch goal achieved! Those of you who backed at the DCC Core Rules + First 6 Adventures tier will receive a seventh adventure as well (title to be determined). The converted seventh adventure will ultimately be available for purchase separately via Goodman Games and Roll20 for those of you who chose to back at a lower tier.

Now comes the hard part: the waiting. We’ll be making the final arrangements with Metamorphic to start converting DCC RPG and the adventures over to Roll20 and will update you once we have more information about that process. Metamorphic has an established track record of creating stellar products for Roll20 and we know were in good hands. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of a long history of making DCC RPG and other Goodman Games’ products available for Roll20. Thank you again for supporting this Backerkit project and believing in DCC RPG for Roll20. 

May your (virtual) dice always roll in your favor!

Hi everyone!

Congratulations, you're getting a charactermancer!

We're here at GAMA Expo this week. I had a chance to sit down with the Metamorphic team for breakfast. Metamorphic (formerly known as Sigil) has coded some of the best Roll20 conversions out there, and they're the ones who will handle DCC on Roll20.

Here we are, plotting world domination...and also talking charactermancers! We're able to make the charactermancer work at $29k so we are going to call that stretch goal CLEARED. Congratulations everyone, you're getting a charactermancer!

With that in mind, we've set up one more stretch goal. Help us clear $32k and we can throw another DCC adventure into the mix. Fair warning: it will be a "skinny module" not a huge hardcover. We had some great suggestions in our recent poll so we will definitely consider the results of that poll in the selection.

Today is the last day for this crowdfunding. Really only half a day remains. Please tell your friends and let's bring DCC to Roll20 in the best possible way!

Hey Roll20 and DCC fans! 

Thank you all for helping fund our Roll20 x DCC adaptation. We're all looking forward to playing DCC on Roll20 with our friends!

We're steadily chugging along toward a charactermancer. If we can pull off this stretch goal, it will make the Roll20 implementation that much easier to play. All backers would benefit from this, and once you're using DCC RPG at the "virtual table" it will make character progression much more automated. As of this moment, the charactermancer is 88% funded. So close!

Here's a thought. For those who pledged for "just the DCC x Roll20 rules", consider upping your pledge to the "rules + adventures" level. You'll get a virtual stack of 6 adventures - plus, if enough backers make that change, we might push our way over the charactermancer tier.

Just 4 days left to make this happen!

Hello, backers, I am */roll d20* grateful for your support! In all seriousness, though, I speak for everyone at Goodman Games when I say “thank you” for backing the Roll20 for DCC campaign. We’ve wanted to make a Roll20 version of DCC RPG for some time, but the stars never seemed to align. Now, thanks to all of you, that’s finally happened. We hope this is just the first step in an ongoing journey of making DCC RPG a snap to play on Roll20 with friends around the world.

As you know, we’re currently chugging along towards our first stretch goal and we’re not even in the final days of the campaign when pledges always pick up the pace. We have high hopes we’ll hit the Charactermancer stretch goal before the end, and we might even find room to include more.

Goodman Games already plans to convert DCC #66.5 Doom of the Savage Kings, DCC #67 Sailors on the Starless Sea, DCC #68 People of the Pit, DCC #69 The Emerald Enchanter, DCC #77 The Croaking Fane, and DCC #94 Neon Knights to Roll20. Now we want to know what other modules you’d like to see converted. This will help us plan stretch goals and potentially future Roll20 conversion with your help. Please take the poll in the below and/or add other suggestions in the comments.

Please keep spreading the word about the Roll20 for DCC Backerkit campaign, and don’t forget we’re also in the midst of our massive Adventures On the Purple Planet…And Beyond! campaign, along with seven other 3PP to bring you a planet-load of Purple Planet material for your tabletop DCC RPG campaign. If you haven’t already backed any of those campaigns, please stop by the Purple Planet DCC Horde landing page for links to all of these out-of-this-world DCC RPG gaming material.

Great news everyone. DCC x Roll20 has FUNDED!

We all owe backer Steve G a virtual beer - thanks Steve G for making the pledge that pushed DCC on Roll20 into funded territory. 

Now it's time to start thinking about stretch goals. One thing we'd like to add to the project is a charactermancer. For those of you who know Roll20, this will make character progression a breeze. So, a charactermancer will be our first stretch goal at $30k. You can see the stretch goal in BackerKit on this update, or by looking at the "Achievements" section under "Community" where the little bar will track our progress.

Thanks everyone!

Hello DCC fans!

Thanks for the initial wave of support. Great to see the interest in DCC on Roll20. And so many great suggestions on your favorite adventures in the comments. We're considering those suggestions as we think about stretch goals for additional adventure conversions.

As I type this, we're just $269 away from funding the Roll20 conversion of DCC. Yes, just under three hundred bucks. Somebody call your mom and ask her to back! Honestly we weren't sure how much overlap there was between the DCC and Roll20 communities, but it's clear from this project that there is a big "DCC x Roll20 contingent" - which is great to see.

We've seen fans experiment with running DCC on Roll20 for years. Of course there wasn't an official conversion, but there are some unofficial character sheets floating around, and fans have set up tokens from our art and from other sources.

Here are some live-play videos of DCC x Roll20 live-play from the past years showing "DCC as it stands now on Roll20." These videos don't show the full integrations we want to accomplish, because, well, that integration doesn't exist yet...but the videos give you an idea of how much fun online DCC play can be.

Let's push this project over the funding line and get that Roll20 compilation built so we can make DCC online play even more fun!

This first live-play video is from three years ago when we ran our first Cyclops Con...

...and here is a current show from our Twitch channel, with the indomitable GrapeApe running his Reaver Express.
