Tonight’s spellburn is going to be a great show.

Episode 152: We’re Going to Take You Higher!

Some say DCC RPG is just for one-shots.  Some say it’s a great campaign game.  Some say it’s a great con game.  Some say it’s perfect for the home table. Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice.  One thing you don’t hear a lot about is high level adventures in DCC RPG!  Why not?  And let’s make some and let’s talk about some!  I’m Judge Julian and with me tonight is a partner in crime in the 10th Doomstar, a 10th level adventure for DCC RPG.  We’ll talk about that and the other adventures that push DCC to its limits, as well as how you might enjoy running and playing your own high level DCC adventures!

Episode 151: Adventures in Pinball

Just when you think everything has been done and there are no more frontiers, Goodman Games answers the question no one had in their brains. “What if we make adventures based on classic pinball games?” Of course the answer to that question is Pinball Crawl Classics (live on Backerkit right now). On this episode of Spellburn, we’ll talk pinball adventure design shop with 3/5ths of the Pinball Crawl Classics designers on hand.

Episode 150: Invoke the Dark Master!

It’s hard to believe but here we are in Spellburn’s 150th episode.  It’s been 13 years of Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG and 12 plus years of Judges J!  We wanted to mark the occasion by breaking things up a little bit with a very special guest tonight– the Dark Master who started at all, sending his thralls far and wide over the land, bringing chaos and cultists to every friendly local gaming store in search of Kovacs covers and funky dice.  And what a ride it has been– Emerald Enchanters, Savage Kings, Lankhmar, Dying Earth, Purple Planet, Shudder Mountains and even MCC RPG, not to mention the million or so multiversal variants out there like Umerica, Weird Frontiers and many many more! We’re going to talk about how we got here in 2025, where we are today and most importantly we’re going to scry the future of DCC RPG (and Goodman Games) with the help of the Dark Master!

Episode 149: On to Zothique!

Marzio Muscadere barely needs any introduction any more!  He’s done a host of DCC RPG adventures, including Star Wound of Abaddon, Veiled Vaults of the Onyx Queen, Across the Veil of Time, House of Jade & Shadow and the beloved holiday adventure the Doom that Came to Christmas Town.  He’s also an authority on Mighty Deeds with his book Steel & Fury, as well as his own products like Death Slaves of Eternity and most recently Murder House.  He’s also just a super fun guest so we welcome him back to talk about his latest project (very near to my heart!), Clark Ashton Smith’s Zothique!  Welcome Judge Marz!
