Lootable Corpse. How deadly do you want your game to be?
Let‘s talk crawler death. It’s everywhere in DCC. Will it be everywhere in the DCCRPG?
Is your party of plucky crawlers be the next Royal Court, (are you destined to be?) or will you all get shivved by a goblin or melted by a llama before entering the Training Guild.
My biggest outstanding question for the game will be how you circle that square. The World Dungeon is far more dangerous than many settings, millions die in the first floor. Every floor whittles it down more.
There’ll invariably be some sort of plot armor, Soulslike/roguelike games are niche, but unless there’s a legitimate feel of danger, I’m not sure how the game can capture the feel of the series.
So question to those who’ve made it this far - are you expecting players to experience narrative arcs approaching Donut and Carl’s success, something closer to Rebecca W. (killed by Frank Q), or something in between? Would you be disappointed if it was too far either way?
