What's the ONE THING you would change... about DCC RPG?
Our next guest has been around DCC RPG for many years. You may know him from the very well received Tales of the Smoking Wyrm, from his Youtube show the Scrivenry, or from his ongoing Earthcrawl project which he is currently developing and funding via his patreon page. Of course you may also have said […]
It's March and it's Madness. This year, I had a fever dream of DCC RPG as a March Madness style tournament. Complete with brackets, groups, and 6 rounds of community voting. We have made it to this ultimate evening, the finale of insanity! Sometime later in this hour, the Judges J of Spellburn will crown […]
Let's talk about the 800 pound gorilla in the room… DCC RPG is more popular than ever, played worldwide, being played on a football field in Indianapolis at GENCON… and meanwhile the Fifth edition of the world's most popular RPG is probably more popular now than D&D was at its heyday of the 1970s! (Especially […]
Happy Holidays, It's our last Spellburn of the year, Judge James is out there riding his reindeer so we have a special guest host with us tonight – Judge Joey Royale from Joey Royale's Pizza Party! And our special guest tonight, the atomic overlord himself, Christopher Rick of double ziggurat fame– we'll talk atomic clock […]
Well it's Judge James’s birthday – today, November 25th, and he has some questions. Not “Where do babies come from?” or “Why, god, why?” but “How does one navigate publishing their own RPG?” So in the spirit of James becoming older, we had some friends over to celebrate and help guide us and others, on […]

Joseph Goodman runs Goodman Games. He has written a number of RPG titles, including DCC RPG, DragonMech, and many dungeon crawl adventures. His best work, though, is mentoring the amazing group of creators who have come to publish their work through Goodman Games. Joseph is also well known within the DCC RPG community as the Dark Lord, but in a very dear way. I had the pleasure to work with Goodman Games a few times, but I've always been an admirer of not only their work with games, but especially in the way they ciultivate creativity and community. In this chat we talk about many great topics, including game design, doing business as a game, creativity, nature as inspiration, the famous Appendix N, and parenthood. This was a fantastic chat, Joseph is always very generous with his wisdom so I recommend you listen to this one closely! So, listen up, and get weird with us!

The Heads of Cerberus
Neither Chuck Barris nor the Unknown Comic will be in attendance this evening. Gonzo – what is it? How do you know your game is gonzo? It is one of those things that you'll only know when you see it? Is DCC RPG the gonzo game some purport it to be? Making his Spellburn debut, […]
Harley Stroh, legendary RPG writer, Skate Punker, and an incredible Judge (or GM for the non-DCCers out there)! Author of moderns classics like Sailors of the Starless Sea, Doom of Savage Kings, Blades Against Death, Journey to the Center of Aereth, Tower of the Black Pearl, Peril on the Purple Planet, and more recently, the impressive The Music of the Spheres is Chaos, a massive boxed-set adventure with a spinning dungeon map! His work in the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG line is super inspiring, and his adventures are some of my favorites of all time! I've been a fan of Harley since I bought my first printing of the limited edition gold skull DCC RPG that came with Doom of Savage Kings, a very pulpy, and open-ended adventure that set very high standards for what I would expect of adventure for now on. I played this adventure so many times, and continue to do so, and I am always impressed how different every time can be. Anyway, in this chat we talked about many things, from how sneakily weird Harley actually is, how he tries to write amazing adventures just to keep up with the fantastical art created by Doug Kovacs, how he runs his finger over his keyboard while writing, and so many other weird and wonderful things. I loved to have this chance to talk to him for almost 2 hours, it was a real pleasure. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Listen up, and get weird with us!

Luke Stratton, or Limithron as he is known throughout the seven seas of the internet, is an artist, game designer, producer, and so many other things. He is the creator of Pirate Borg, as well as Limithron's Guide to Naval Combat for 5th Edition D&D! He was with me on both Game On Expo and Gary Con, so we get to talk a little bit about those. Luke and I had the chance to bond over the course of 2 weeks, as we both attended Game on Expo as Guest/Panalists, and went to Gary Con afterwards to relax among like minded gamers! I am very glad I spent that time with him and I am glad we could talk about that and many other things on the show. We delved into his creative process, his effort to keep the passion for pirate stuff alive, the influences he had while working on Pirate Borg, other artists that inspire his way to work, and many other weird and wonderful things.

Lest Darkness fall by L Sprague de Camp
Mike Evans is the creator DIY RPG Productions, author of Hubris (an incredibly and wonderfully bizarre weird fantasy setting for DCC RPG), Death is the New Pink, Barbarians of the Ruined Earth, and a lot more! But Mike is a lot more than that also! Mike Evans moved to Rochester, NY in 2013 after his wife received her PhD in Toxicology at Rutgers University and took a post doctorate position at URMC. Mike has been working in the non-profit sector for nearly a decade, serving as Director of Operations at Rochester Childfirst Network (RCN) and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Rochester, before becoming the Executive Director of the South East Area Coalition in October 2020. Recently Mike created a new tool lending library program, SEAC's Tool Shed, which serves the Greater Rochester Area. Mike has lived all over the country: Wyoming, Nebraska, California, Montana, New Jersey and now New York, “Rochester is a great place to live. I'm happy to call this my home.” Mike enjoys grunge and punk rock music, kayaking, biking, hiking, Star Wars, drumming, video games and writing. He currently runs his own publication company and has written seven books. Mike is passionate about diversity, equality, and inclusion because, “only once we're all equal and included, can we truly be rid of oppression and hate. I grew up idolizing Star Trek: Next Generation; all species, beliefs, cultures, views, etc. were discussed, accepted, and celebrated. That's where we need to head.” We had a great chat talking about trying to be a good person, trying to make games, coming with terms we are not doing this full time, his new projects, inspirations, weird experiences and a lot more! So listen up and get weird with us!

Michael Curtis has been working in the RPG industry since 2008 and playing RPGs since 1980. He is mostly known for his work on the DCC RPG line, including such adventures as Frozen in Time, Intrigue at the Court of Chaos, and the DCC Lankhmar set, and for his classic Dungeon Alphabet book and the old-school megadungeon Stonehell. Michael is currently the Director of Product Development for the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG at Goodman Games.Thank you for listening! Michael Curtis is a tremendous inspiration for me and my work. As the DCC RPG served as a renaissance for my understanding of fantasy gaming, Michael's adventures and discourse about them (as I listened avidly on any podcast he would appear on) would help me understand a little bit more of this adventure craft! When I got to learn more about Fritz Leiber, fell in love with Lankhmar and heard Mr. Curtis was going to be the lead designer in the DCC adaptation of that world to the RPG scene I was thrilled. And it's not surprising DCC Lankhmar is my favorite flavor of DCC RPG! But in this chat we talked about a lot more than just gaming. We talked art, life journeys, how we fit or don't around other people, unique experiences and a lot of other weird stuff! So listen up and get weird with us!

Jen Brinkman is the Operations Manager of Goodman Games, but she is also so much more than that. Host of the award-winning Spellburn podcast, co-creator of the Sanctum-Securum podcast and the legendary Brinkmanicon, the spiritual mother of the DCC RPG community, Jen is an inspiration to us all. I met Jen in 2014 when I went to Gen Con for the first time and I was immediately welcomed by the DCC RPG community. The kindness and warmth from the community and especially from her was remarkable. And it's like this for everyone. The Order of Sheena is there to prover that, and Jen talks a bit about this on the episode. We also talk about her journey in the RPG space, how she doesn't see herself as weird (but I think I convinced her), how she drinks quite a bit of coffee, how balance is so important in life, how we need to remind ourselves from time to time why we do all this... We also talked about a lot of RPG related stuff, like the Indie RPG Summit that will happen in January and how she will be a speaker. We talked about the people in the community that inspires us, the people we learned from, GEN CON, and so much more. We had a great time and we left the conversation with a lot to think about and I hope you all do too! So listen up and let's get weird with Jen Brinkman! Check out Jen's links!

DCC Dying Earth: it's every bit as beautiful and faithful to the source material as we'd hoped, but…is it as daunting as the core book? Since DCC fans have come to Spellburn for the low-down on rules for the past decade, we'll discuss some of the chewier Dying Earth rules with Judge Will Keller, one […]
