Dispatches from the Raven Crowking Volume 5

Selected Option:

Welcome to Dispatches from the Raven Crowking V.5. Pull up a chair, set your drink near your hand, and let’s talk. That’s pretty much what this is. Chatting about games in general, and Dungeon Crawl Classics in particular.

As the name implies, Dispatches has its genesis in my blog, Raven Crowking’s Nest. Dispatches has a few advantages over the free blog versions of the same material. First off, the material has been re-edited, cleaned up, and in some cases expanded. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, it is in print so that you can keep it on your gaming shelf. Finally, Dispatches will contain some new material as well…a “thank you” for your continued interest!

I have opinions – lots of them! – but I’m going to dispense with the “IMHO”s and “IME”s, and assume that you, the Gentle Reader, are smart enough to know that I am talking about my own opinions and experiences. And, if I am wrong in that assumption, feel free to tell me so!

This volume focuses on articles related to creative techniques to enhance your campaign.  Although these articles use the excellent Dungeon Crawl Classics system, the general principles are adaptable to almost any game system. 
This volume includes:
  • Plotlines, Railroading, and Sandbox Games

  • Care and Feeding of NPCs

  • Making Monsters for Dungeon Crawl Classics 

  • Not Everything is Unique!

  • Some Thoughts About Patrons in DCC

  • Running Convention Games

  • How I Roll

  • Difficulty: Not Just For Players

  • A Few House Rules For Your Use

  • From Mercury to Yuggoth, and All Points Between

Daniel J. Bishop, aka Raven Crowking, is the author of Bone Hoard of the Dancing Horror, Prince Charming Reanimator, The Dread God Al-Khazadar, Three Nights in Portsmouth, and more. Now he shares his tips for designing and running adventures with you!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
