Description
The year that shall not be named: it was the year we all learned to game online, and we shall celebrate it for that. In the latest annual community yearbook from Goodman Games, the company celebrates what made this year special. Online connections brought regular gaming back to our lives, and the convention season took on a whole new look. As always, this volume contains a wealth of new DCC RPG content, including new monster fumble tables and new mighty deed rules. There is an interview with TSR legend Russ Nicholson, a new mini-adventure, and pictures and photographs from this year – the year we want to forget but can’t help remembering. At least we can remember the good times, including Cyclops Con, DCC Day, Bride of Cyclops Con, and all the great online games.

Rulebooks also encourage creativity and strategic thinking among players.
What types of rulebooks are available?
Rulebooks vary based on the game system and genre. They can include core rulebooks that cover basic gameplay mechanics and setting details, supplemental rulebooks that introduce new rules or expand on specific aspects of the game, and adventure modules that provide pre-written scenarios for GMs and players.

How do I choose the right rulebook?
Choosing the right rulebook depends on several factors such as your preferred game genre (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc.), complexity level, and storytelling style. Consider reading reviews, exploring sample pages, and discussing with fellow players to determine if the rulebook aligns with your gaming preferences and group dynamics.
Can rulebooks for different systems be used together?
Rulebooks for different systems are generally designed to be used independently due to variations in rules, settings, and gameplay mechanics. However, experienced game masters may adapt elements from one system to another with careful consideration and adjustments to maintain game balance and narrative coherence.
