DCG LAW Solo Games
 
Has anyone tried playing DCG solo adventures with full TFT rules? I'm assuming it should be an easy conversion since LAW rules are considered to be "TFT Lite".

There has been some discussion of the DCG under TFT issues on the new discord, including map size hassles.

It isn't hard to do the conversion to TFT, but some of the skills like alchemy can be learned at low IQ (from a TFT perspective) can be hard to convert to a different skill.

I have run into that in trying to convert Classic TFT characters to Legacy TFT. Some of the talents have moved around in IQ level.

Cheat sheet for Classic to Legacy talent changes:

No talents have been both retained and also increased in ST/DX/IQ requirements. (Though some of the talent splits require slightly higher IQ to replicate all of the features in new talents.)

Thanks.

Unarmed Combat Skills have changed IQ levels from Classic to Legacy. Classic had UC 3, 4 and 5 all as IQ 14. Fencing has changed some to accommodate higher levels of that talent but singled out certain sword types. There are some new talents that didn't exist before like Quckdraw.

The more experienced and talented the classic character was, the more difficult the conversion.

If there was any real need for it, I'd recognize the old talent names and automatically convert to the new talents here, rather than just parsing only Legacy talents and rejecting the old names:

We ran Orcs of the High Mountains, Sunday, for our group. We had four 40-point characters. So, I tripled the number of opponents in the opening encounters (the grunts). But, I left the leadership alone.

Worked extremely well using TFT:ITL rules.

Does anyone know if the other Dark City Games titles are available in PDF? Or, are they only available in hardcopy?

George only sells hard copies, but it isn't hard to scan them and edit them via a word processing.

He tried selling some PDFs, but they ended up being posted online.
