Thanks. I'm not impressed. The Dungeon Crawl Classics line is no more. These mods don't even look like the old D&D mods. I've collected all of the 3.5 mods (1-52) and have no plans to purchase any of Goodman's 4.0 stuff.

I can attest that the content of one of those adventures is very much like the old D&D mods. I can't say any more than that, but I wouldn't BS you and I'm not profiting in any way by saying it.


How can one resist a module called "Sellswords of Punjar" - the name itself is worth it. Love it.

Hm. Sellswords does sound (and look) pretty sweet . . .


Hmm. Yeah. Not impressed either. I like the retro look of the 3x DCCs. :(

But sadly for a new system I have no interest in. A shame. Good luck Goodman, and farewell. :-/

Farewell, Goodman, from me as well. No interest here.

I hear ya.

I'm not down with changing systems either. I just wanted to say that the content was still in the same vein, even if the crunch wasn't. At least one of those adventures will definitely make for quite an old-timey, fun session.


Yes! Now this will be some high quality 3PP geared toward 4th edition. I am VERY surprised that I am going to say this, but I am actually going to buy from Goodman Games. (Haven't been a big fan in the past)


The giants one looks like a possible buy.


Oops, mountain king, that is to say. Haven't properly woken up yet.

According to this flyer, there will be a free conversion pdf available after August 1st.

Sadly, though, it goes the wrong way. I'll miss Goodman Games, but I won't have any use for their products anymore.

The Jade, have you heard if Goodman will be moving its "Known Realms" campaign setting to 4E as well? Or is the company going to start fresh?

As of now, I know nothing about that, Joela, but I'll ask around.

Oh! A free gazetteer for 4E!

Hmm, I like the covers, very akin to how the Creature Collection mimicked the 3.x books.

Also looks like the known worlds are going 4x *sigh*

Just to let everyone know, that flyer was done back when Joseph Goodman thought that he would be able to do PDF conversions. Now it looks like the GSL is going to make that impossible (of course, we still haven't seen the GSL, so that could change). Joseph was giving Scott Rouse a bunch of crap at GTS for making his flyers obsolete and full of wrong information. :)

Read the blurb about the Gazzetter for free game day.


It's good to see publishers besides WotC producing 4e content. WotC's adventures are not always of the quality that I'd like. I'm not very familiar with Goodman Games, but if they're going to be publishing 4e adventures I would like to check them out.

My group voted 7-1 to move to the new edition when it comes out. Given a choice between my friends and a rule system, I'm going to go with "friends" 10 times out of 10.

I hope that, eventually, 4e has Paizo-quality material available. I'm still going to subscribe to Pathfinder but I'm thinking of it more as reading material and inspiration than runnable adventures. I'm also thinking of it as my small contribution towards keeping arguably the best adventure publishers since D&D started in business.

Oops. That TOTALLY puts a crimp in my 3.x/PFRPR/4E plans. Grrr...!

Of course. You mean there's another option?

Right now my groups are staying with 3.x. Probably won't even consider PFRPG. That won't stop me from purchasing 4E and PFRPG. I can always find additional groups willing to play and, eventually, even convince my current groups to give one-shots a try :)


The name "Dungeon Crawl Classics" does not jell with the new look, IMO.

There's a disconnect now.

However, if they *are* able to offer free 3.5 downloadable stats, then I may indeed take a closer look. If not - see ya!


I'm fairly certain under the new GSL any type of conversion document (either 3.X -> 4E or 4E to 3.X) will be prohibited.

Maybe you'll be able to give them away for free, but I somehow find this unlikely ...

Cheers! :)

You are a sensible young person. Possibly even wise.

We already know that Necromancer Games will support 4E through Paizo. So you won't have to go far to get your 4E fix.

And please remember, OldSchool to NewSchool; you can still, occasionally, enjoy that 'old' Edition. 'Old' does not equal 'obsolete.' At least to this Old Fellow.

-I didn't like the cover art, but never judge a book or an adventure by its cover. They will be all right. Because GOODMAN GAMES ROCK like that.
