Goodman Games’ Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC) is a modern role-playing game designed to
capture the feel of the early years of the ‘World Most Famous Role-Playing
Game’. There are seven character classes
in Dungeon Crawl Classics, which are redesigns of the classes found in the
Basic/Expert edition of the ‘World Most Famous Role-Playing Game’. The classes are: the Cleric, the Warrior, the Wizard, the Thief, the Elf, the Dwarf and the Halfling.
The Thief
Between
2016 to 2017, I designed random character generators for the seven DCC
character classes. With the recent
creation of the Fantastic Adventures and the Disgruntled Gong Farmer Companion Site, I was inspired to re-visit the DCC character generators by creating new
updated versions of the generators for the companion website. While my original DCC Fan Site uses painted
miniatures for the site’s artwork, the companion website uses pencil
sketches. Thus, I decided to use pencil
sketches for the artwork for the new character generators.
The Wizard
The Cleric
In
designing the character generators, I decided to first start out by drawing the
character classes. So far, I have drawn
sketches for the ‘human’ DCC classes: the Cleric, the Warrior, the Wizard and
the Thief. It is important for me to
have inclusion and diversity in my artwork; therefore, two of the four sketches
feature woman (the Cleric and the Thief), and two of the four sketched feature
visible minorities (the Cleric and the Wizard).
In fact, diversity and inclusion was the topic of episode 63 (Welcoming All Players) of the DCC Spellburn podcast, which discussed the importance of representation
in the artwork and stories of role-playing games.
