Things to keep in mind playing DCC

Luck plays a large role in this game. Don't forget that you can burn luck points to improve a given die roll. But beware that low luck attributes will make you more likely to be targeted by enemies, have things fall on you, etc. Except for thieves and halflings, luck doesn't regenerate automatically. Rather, it can be earned by appeasing deities, demons, etc. You can also lose luck by doing the opposite! But bottom line, don't forget you can burn luck to help your character out!

Character generation

Feel free to roll up your 0-levels using this site:

https://purplesorcerer.com/create_party.php

Please use the defaults and your first result. If you take this route, just add character name and alignment.

If you'd prefer to use the dice roller (campaign ID = 1051), you can use the following macros:

Strength [3d6] Agility [3d6] Stamina [3d6]
Personality [3d6] Intelligence [3d6] Luck [3d6]
Birth Augur [1d30] Hit points [1d4] copper pieces [5d12] Occupation [1d100]
Starting equipment [1d24]

You can use your coppers to buy anything from Table 3-3.

I'll put a template for level 0 characters below but feel free to use the character sheets in the die roller instead.

Your characters are all from the peaceful town of Clearwater, named for the small crystal clear river that runs through the middle of it. The town has a few hundred inhabitants. The river connects to a Fira, a large city on the coast that's a couple days' raft trip downstream. It's widely seen as a den of villainy by town inhabitants but they do benefit from the occasional visit of Firan traders. Otherwise, the areas surrounding the farms and fields of Clearwater are seen as hostile, and every couple years there is the occasional goblin and orc raid.

There are four landowning families in Clearwater. They are generally well-liked, though it is rumored one has a wizardess (magic is somewhat frowned upon and foreign to Clearwater). If you roll "noble" as a level 0 occupation, it will be as part of one of these four families. We're not talking dukes and duchesses here, just relatively well-off landowners.

Deities

There are two major deities worshipped in Clearwater, though others may be venerated in small, clandestine groups. That is, if your character wants to bring in a god let's work it in to the game!

Ulesh, god of peace - a lawful god that is worshipped by the majority of Clearwater dwellers. And the head of the church of Ulesh reminds the populace of this often

Ildavir, goddess of nature - Given the dependence of the town on its agriculture, it's no surprise that the town also worships this neutral goddess of nature.

[since we're starting with a funnel, I'll add much more information later]
