We didn't just change the art. The new Dungeon Crawl Classics Judge's Screen Third Printing adds a whole new view for your game. We added new player-oriented tables to their side of the screen to help them out during the game!

Oh, and there is some spectacular art by Doug Kovacs to look at as well.

All-in-all, this is a screen worth standing behind. Or sitting in front of, for that matter.

Things are going wild in the world of  Dungeon Crawl Classics . Very wild.

Pandahead Publishing, the people who originally published  Xcrawl , are now teaming once more with Goodman Games to produce the new source-series, Primal Tales . This new series is designed to give players and Judges a way to incorporate anthropomorphic characters into their  Dungeon Crawl Classics  campaign. 

Here's some highlights from the first issue:

Featuring more DCC RPG compatible material. Magic weapons, Bioracana grafts, Paperminis, new uses for luck, and The Graft Class.

This issue features a review of Mike Evan's Hubris campaign setting. A Treatise on the tools of the trade for Thieves. New Weapon styles: Cloak & Blade as well as Sword & Scabbard.

A 0-level funnel adventure, new patron, spells, and more!

Sanctum of the Snail

It was a fairly pleasant trip until the storm hit. Your ship sank, and now you and the other survivors--peasants, pilgrims, and gongfarmers--are stuck on this jagged spire in the middle of the ocean. The storm rages all around you while monsters crawl out of the sea. It looks like the only way off this rock is down through that weird door. Who will live and who will die in this 0-level funnel adventure?

In addition to the adventure, this first issue of Crepuscular also includes:

Goodman Games is going to the U.K.! Specifically, Judge Brendan is heading over to the  UK Games Expo , where he will be running games and meeting fans for three days of fun from June 1st - 3rd.

This is the 12th year of the Expo, and Goodman Games first official visit to a European show! We are very excited to meet our fans in the UK, and Judge Brendan is already chomping at the bit to make his way to the show. He'll be running both  Dungeon Crawl Classics  and  Xcrawl Classics  at the show, and wowing fans with his unique charm. Over 30,000 people annually show up at the UK Games Expo, but they haven't seen anything like Judge Brendan.

And he's not just stopping at the con! Brendan will also be making a pair of store appearances while over there. On May 31st he'll be at Weekend Warlords to run a game, and then on June 4th he'll be at Leisure Games to entertain folks with another gaming session! We hope that international relations aren't permanently altered by our favorite Judge....

We have previously announced authorized translations into Spanish and Portuguese. We’re very excited to report that at  The Role Playing Convention  in Cologne, Germany, this past weekend, German Publisher System Matters Verlag announced our agreement to publish  Dungeon Crawl Classics  in German!

By virtue of his unusual last name, Roger Zelazny is last in Appendix N. This author wonders: “How many readers have never gotten all the way down the list, leaving Zelazny a mystery?” And so, around the anniversary of his birth, let’s take a look at this three-time Nebula Award winner (nominated 14 times), six-time Hugo Award winner (coincidentally, also 14 nominations) and “last-but-by- no - means -least” author, focusing on his best-known work:  The Chronicles of Amber .

Today is the birthday of Gardner F. Fox. Most people know him as the legendary and prolific writer for DC Comics who created the Justice Society of America as well as many of the most iconic DC Comics characters including Doctor Fate, the Flash, Hawkman, and Sandman. He also wrote many of the earliest Batman stories and was the first to introduce the  Batarang . His contribution to the world of comics is well documented and uncontested.

Science fiction and fantasy author Fred Saberhagen was born in Chicago, Illinois on May 18, 1930. Beginning his professional writing career at age 30 with a short story published in a 1961 issue of  Galaxy Magazine , Saberhagen went on to become best known for his works featuring the characters Dracula and Sherlock Holmes. Fantasy role playing enthusiasts of a certain age are probably much more familiar with Saberhagen’s second-most popular work, The Swords Trilogy, which began being published in 1983, just as the  Dungeons & Dragons  craze was hitting its peak. Saberhagen followed that up with a subsequent sequel series,  The Book of Lost Swords , which totaled eight additional books in all.

Manly Wade Wellman arrived in this world on May 21st, 1903, born literally an ocean away from the place he’d be forever associated with in his later life. Young Manly’s playground was the land of Portuguese West Africa (now Angola), where his father was stationed as a medical officer. It was undoubtedly here, in a land far removed from the staid world of 20th century America, that the seeds of Manly’s imagination found their first fertile ground. Wellman would grow to become an accomplished writer, penning stories in the genres of science fiction, fantasy, occult detective stories, prehistoric adventure, and horror during a career lasting almost 75 years.

Robert Eugene Bledsaw, or “Bob” to those who knew him, was born on May 18, 1942. In 1976 he and Bill Owen founded Judges Guild. Bob passed away on April 19, 2008. Judges Guild was the first company to publish a D&D adventure module, and was hugely influential on the evolution of fantasy role playing games. Goodman Games has collected some of Bob’s work in our  Judges Guild Deluxe Collector’s Edition . On this 76th anniversary of the birth of Bob Bledsaw Sr., we offer this homage, first written several years ago by his good friend and colleague Bill Owen, the co-founder of Judges Guild.

We continue to bring out the best of our Road Crew in our brand new feature. We take a moment to look at some members of our Road Crew who have stood out and made us take notice. Each are given a moment to bask in the glory of their accomplishment and take a bow as a member of the Goodman Games crew that we consider.... ROADWORTHY!

And finish with a look at the incredible Judge Evie!
