INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ADDED
The horns have sounded from across the vast oceans and the Polyhedral Earth Society has listened.
Hello Gamer Family,
We just added an international shipping option. Our fan...
Today we are going to talk about the guild-building system included in this book.
We wanted a system players could use to help create a functional guild should they find an appropriate place to start one. As they progress in level and power the guild can too. Taking the Judge's world and using a point buy system you can turn a narrative into a guild the players can have fun building and running. The Judge can also use it to create a new guild from scratch and drag and drop it into their world in a few minutes. It was designed to be easy to use but comprehensive enough to create what you need.
You can hire spies.
Fund armorers for guild wars.
Hire a wizard.
Fund a law scholar to help get you out of trouble.
Buy different types of buildings.
Gather resources over time from a settlement.
Buy magic items for the guild.
And much much more.
We are sure you will like this awesome addition to your campaign.
Understanding how to think like a thief is as important as their mechanics. Sections of the book deep dive into the life of a thief and how to play one. Other sections are focused on types of thieves and some tricks they can use to outsmart a mark. The wizard may be the smartest player on paper but street smarts trumps book smarts any day or night. This is how you should think about your character.
Sure they can evolve and they should, good stories and characters do. Setting the tone of your unique crime figure is like casting a good villain or antihero in a movie. Using these tools you will have some ammunition to be creative in your journey.
Today we are featuring an item included with every pledge, the thief character sheet. Ricardo de Gaspar created it for use with the DCC system. We gave him a goal and let him go wild. We hope you like it as much as we do.
Are you an artist? Want to work with us? Send an email to [email protected] with a link to your works and we will contact you back.
Don't forget to add the pickpocket deck to your pledge! It's 72 cards of awesomeness you and your Judge can use to make memorable games over and over again.
We have 9 days left in the campaign! We never thought we would get this much love. But we are here today asking you to help us make the strongest possible finish.
Here are some stats!
We needed $2,000we have 114 backers pledging $5,635 to make this project happen as of this update.
~50% of all backers opted in for the Pickpocket Deck for only $20. It's proven to be a useful tool at our tables. The MSRP for this will go up to $25 post campaign.
We added a canvas art addon for only $25 with larger image to help you make a decision. Its inspired by one of the most iconic images about thieves in AD&D.
Grab an extra copy of the book at $26 the MSRP will go up to $32 post campaign and not include the backer exclusive numbering scheme.
Are you an international follower ? Don't forget to vote in our latest poll.
If we reach $8,000 we can create a special adventure featuring Dirt the most dastardly scoundrel to ever pull off a con.
Also help us spread the word family. Know someone who loves DCC or RPG's in general tell them about us!
BUT NONE OF THIS CAN BE DONE WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT!
We achieved our first stretch goal of 51 decks of cards backed.
If we finish the campaign with this many backers we can offer this stretch goal to our community.
We wanted to show a sample of the front of the cards to let you see what you are helping create. In playtests, these have proven to be an awesome tool for Judges to create memorable encounters.
We want to help promote our artists to our backers and follower community. Our dream with these post is someone somewhere is inspired to create art.
Today we feature Carlos Castilho his art is featured in the Pickpocket Deck.

We created this pledge level with the idea we all have awesome characters or NPCs we loved to create. Why not immortalize them in print?
All we need is a description of your character or NPC along with their character sheet or stats and we will have an artist draw a full-page piece of art of them. On the opposite page, we will feature their character sheet
Included in this pledge:
Hardback Numbered Edition.
Unnumbered PDF.
Art of your character.
Thief-inspired PDF Character sheet.
Don't miss this chance to become a DCC legend in Dirt's Gallery Of Scoundrels.
We want to help promote our artists to our backers and follower community. We asked this artist a series of questions, hoping to inspire new artists to create more and offer the community a peek into who we are.
Today we feature Sean Martin the artist who created the book cover among other things.
He started the interview with:
Ok here's my thing! I do realize it may seem I'm not taking this interview very seriously but, what is art if it isn't b@tsh*t.
We loved his answer and his comic book style of art. We have had the pleasure of working on multiple projects with him in the past, and his art is featured proudly in this book.
