"Race as Race" House Rules and Character Generator for Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG
"Race as Race" House Rules (download file v5 02/18/20). From time to time people ask about separating out race from class and allowing characters of different races to level in classes typically reserved for humans. I've been working on some "Race as Race" house rules. I tidied them up, added an intro, and formatted things to be a bit more visually appealing than my original document. Races include: Human, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, and Gnome.
"Race as Race" Level 0 Character Generator (download file v2 03/20/20). I've always loved generating RPG characters and creating my own generators to do so. Taking inspiration from Jon Marr's Purple Sorcerer generators, after way too many hours, I hacked together an Excel formula and macro-based level 0 generator. It allows the user to generate 4 0-level characters using the aforementioned Race as Race house rules. I also used the Alternate Occupations supplement for DCC RPG. I'm sure there are still some bugs, and I don't know if the generator will work for anyone else (I've tried it on 3 PCs - not sure if it'll work on anything but a PC), but I thought I'd share in case others can put it to use. Be ye forewarned: the formulas are ugly and the sheets are messy throughout. I'm no programmer, but delight in the tedium and frustration of mashing together formulas and trying to make things work. Do check out the READ ME sheet in the Excel spreadsheet before generating characters. The formulas are easily broken. Worst case scenario: you just download a new copy of the generator. Best case scenario: you improve on what I've done and re-share with the community.
