DC20 Magazine #8 - DC12
Added 2025-02-01 15:00:16 +0000 UTCDC12 is a rules light system made to bring TTRPGs to brand new players that are seeking something simple or to kids too young to understand a complex rule system. This is something I've been playing with kids and friends for a while, and was what inspired me to create DC20!
Everything here is kept super simple and is made to run a collaborative story, with the randomness of dice included, without needing to learn many rules at all. It also includes a set of variant rules for those who want a little bit more guidance for running Combat, HP, and Resting! I hope you enjoy this resource and that you can use it to bring brand new players into our amazing hobby!

I'm thinking about tweaking Failure to Failure or success at a mayor cost, and Success as success with a slight complication. You can tell from this that I run a lot of PBTA and I'm comfortable GMing those things.
