Introduction to DCC: We’re Not in Kansas Anymore

YOU look like a worthy adventurer!
What brings you here?

  • I’ve….dabbled in D&D or Pathfinder, and I want to give something different a try!
  • I’m a grizzled veteran of RPGs, but somehow have never experienced DCC – figure it’s worth a go!
  • I’m brand new to RPGs and want to discover more about them – and DCC sounds like fun!

“Not in Kansas Anymore” by Dieter Zimmerman is a 0-Level Funnel Adventure for the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG.
It’s just an ordinary day for you, other than the weird coin you found and can’t seem use or turn loose of… You’re going about your business when, suddenly, everything explodes into red heat and fury, and then…….black. As consciousness returns, things have gotten WEIRD!

Dungeon Crawl Classics is part of the “Old School Renaissance” collection of games that hearkens back to a simpler – and deadlier – time, in gaming terms. This particular session runs you and your pre-generated characters through a Level 0 “funnel” game fraught with danger. The characters who survive a funnel (and there are generally precious few of them) can graduate to Level 1 and become real adventurers!

This action-packed 4 hour session will:

  • Run you through a live game session using pre-generated characters
  • Point you toward some AMAZING resources to further your gaming journey
  • Help you discover a game – or some games – you’ll love!
  • Answer your most pressing RPG questions

Come for the game, but STAY for the prizes! Gifts and prizes are awarded at each and every event!
In addition, each ticket includes a drink voucher for a beverage at Cardboard Corner.

As a bonus, we can also assist you with getting gaming groups started in your community, such as schools, rec and community centers, libraries, assisted living facilities, veterans’ organizations, and workplaces.

This event is being presented at Midwest GameFest 2024.

Laura “Chick in the Hat” Croston

Laura began her gaming journey at the tender age of 7 when her father handed her a set of polyhedrals from the Blue Box. Her first character was a Magic User named Sparkle Starret who, with her illustrious familiar Abracatabra, delved into many dungeons and dealt with a few dragons.

After decades as a player (in a wide variety of systems), Laura discovered GM-ing in 2015. She’d been under the weird impression that becoming a GM involved either a death match with another GM, a musty ceremony with dribbly candles, secret handshakes, and chanting, or a “The Last Starfighter” sorta selection process, and was shocked to discover she could just declare herself a god and claim dominion over a world and its denizens. Who knew? Once she started GM-ing, she was hooked.
