Dungeon Crawl Classics - Core Rulebook

Appendix R: Rules Complexity

The Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game plays like a 1974 game. The rule set deliberately omits many mod-
ern concepts in order to speed game play. During playtest, a variety of players suggested varying rules for
further defining areas of play. These suggestions were discarded because they increased complexity and had no
precedent in the 1974 rules. In other words, if it could be handled ad hoc in 1974, it can be handled ad hoc now.
That said, some judges do wish to expand the game to suit their own style. There are many well-recognized rules catego-
ries which have been deliberately omitted herein: miniatures rules, feats, skill points, prestige classes, races distinct from
classes, weapon proficiencies, attacks of opportunity, and so on. These spaces are “blank” within the rules so the judge
can easily add in those parts he feels are necessary.
Think of it as a map with many undefined places. The DCC RPG rules leave these blank spots deliberately undefined.
Now you as the judge should fill in those regions of the map that most benefit your style of play.

Appendix S: Sobriquets

What’s in a name? The start of an interesting encounter, that’s what. In the DCC RPG, every monster is a uniquely
terrifying foe, and as such could be rendered more terrible with a unique name. So, too, is it for NPCs. The
author highly recommends the out-of-print title Book of Names from Troll Lord Games for inspiration in naming
NPCs. Appendix N is also inspirational. For further monikers, consult the following table.

Appendix T: Titles

Villains and allies are more exciting with interesting descriptors. For example, Clark Ashton Smith describes one
of his wizards, Atmox, as “master of the doubtful arts” and “vassal of umbrageous powers.” The author highly
recommends reading Appendix N for inspiration in titling NPCs. To inspire further description, roll on the fol-
lowing table.
