Dungeon Crawl Classics Character Generators Part 2

In the previous post of this series, I showcased four pencil sketches of the Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC) ‘human’ character classes that I will be using for the DCC character generator launch pages I am developing for the Fantastic Adventures & the Disgruntled Gong Farmer Companion Site.  Since that post, I have completed the sketches for the remaining three character classes: The Dwarf, the Elf and the Halfling.

The Dwarf: a skilled warrior of short stature.

The Elf: an arcane spell-caster and a fighter combined.

 

Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC) uses the ‘race as class’ mechanic, characteristic of the Basic/Expert editions of the ‘World Most Famous Role-Playing Game’.  In DCC, dwarves, elves and halflings are their own classes.  However, DCC has creating some flavourful mechanics that makes playing these classes feel unique.  For instance, dwarves have an uncanny ability to ‘smell gold and gems’.  Elves have a vulnerability to iron and cannot wear iron armour or wield iron weapons.  Halflings have been dubbed ‘whirlwinds of death’ due to their talent for dual-weapon fighting. 

The Halfling: The Party’s ‘good luck charm’.

Fantastic Adventures & the Disgruntled Gong Farmer is a DCC compatible adventure module I created for the community and is available for free (PDF version) on DriveThru RPG.

White Box: Eastern Adventure NPC Adventurers Sketches

I recently designed a random hireling generator for the White Box: Eastern Adventures game system. My next ‘Eastern Adventures’ project is to design a random Non-Player Character Adventurer Generator, which will allow Referees to quickly generate sheets of NPC adventurers for their games (after all, running into other adventuring parties is a common theme in dungeon exploration).

For this project, I decided to start drawing the NPC adventurers before starting the process of coding.  Thus, I came up with the following five sketches, which will appear on the NPC Adventurer launch page. 

 Sohei Warrior-Monk

Bushi (warrior)

Koropukuru Bushi

Ninja

 Heavily Armoured Bushi

Several of these sketches will likely appear in ‘The Keep on the Savage Frontier’, an upcoming ‘Eastern Adventures’ module I am working on.

‘White Box: Eastern Adventures’ is a ‘rules-light’ OSR system available for free (PDF version) on DriveThru RPG.
