DCC rpg

     So recently I picked up the DCC rpg pdf on sale. I have been waffling about whether to try it or not, and the sale price was the clincher. What originally interested me was style, art wise and adventure wise, though I thought the Emirikol was Framed adventure sounded kind of cheesy. I started listening to the Spellburn podcast to get more of an idea how it plays, and I found more stuff to like. Magic can be a dangerous and corrupting influence, a page from Howard's Conan stories. That right there was a plus, there should be a price to pay for dancing with devils, and oh man what can happen is crazy. Not to be left out, warriors (and dwarves) can do mighty deeds of arms which is essentially a stunt from Exalted. You just need players who feel free to come up with something cool to try and you are golden.
     The rule book is almost a coffee table book, with amazing artwork throughout  by great artists including Erol Otus, Jeff Easley, and more.

     I would definitely play this, now running I feel a little skiddish about since there seems to be a chart for everything. That is a lot of page flipping, though once I have played a bit I may change my mind. So, is anyone out there running or playing a game of this? Give me your take on it, any pros and cons you want to share. As always, later guys and take care!
