Used this with Sailors on the Starless Sea, worked great. 10 out of 15 chars met their hilarious demise along the way.

The table for professions is full of fun options, like the salter, who was great at preserving bodies of fallen comrades. Also, the DCs, ACs etc. are similar enough to the ones in the DCC funnel that almost no conversion was necessary.

The only change I made to the proposed rules is tying chars' attribute increases to their professions rather than a connection to other chars.

I had heard about the original zero level funnels (aka Dugeon Crawl Classics) by Goodman Games for 3rd edition from a friend but had never been a part of one. I came looking for a 5e version and found this.

This conversion to 5e worked great. Details on the math behind zero level stats and leveling to first level was much appreciated. I made a couple of modifications that seemed to work out fine. For instance, I didn't like withholding racial traits. Building a proficiency can be a part of the story. Not having a racial ability wasn't so easy to build into the story. Instead I would recommend restricting uses or something

Similar to Murk B.'s review I had organized a group of strangers to play and I loved this idea for bringing them together as a party. I assured the group if anyone was unhappy with the result they could roll a new character. By the time we completed they loved their characters and no one rolled new ones.

Used this as my first DM session with a group of mostly new players. An excellent starting place to get a team together with shared goals and sense of urgency. At the beginning the players were concerned about be 'forced' to do a campaign with random characters so I ensured them that anybody could roll a new character at the end if they wanted - everybody kept their player in the end.

I grabbed this PDF a while back and used it in a one shot. We had fun with it, and now that I'm starting a new campaign again, I decided to use it for the beginning of my new tale. All of my players love it after session 1, and this looks to be setting up to be the beginning of a fun new adventure for my group.

1st session we had 4 players with 4 commoners each. The game started off with an orc raid on their small village. I created a few other (8) NPCs with the same concept to creation to see how many can survive. I added a few elements of my own on my end, like when a Players PC successfully made a move, showed bravery, was blessed with a lucky roll, etc so after the Funnel part is concluded we can highlight each survivor to help determine a class that fits them, as well as help dictate the advancing of their stats to equalize them as a level 1. End of session two playes have 3 PCs left, the other two have 2 left alive, and I have 3 NPCs fleeing town as survivors with them. There is also 1 more known survivor captured by the orcs, and she is one of the PCs wife. We also were able to create a villian for the group, one of the Orcs who slayed 2 PCs, an NPC, and captured the wife.

Reason I point all of that out is this system has provided some serious attachment to the PCs and NPCs, as well as created a nemesis, and a future quest for us. It has provided the foundation of a backstory for all of the players, bonding them together, and really helped mold an opening story to draw them in to this new campaign.

Now that they have fled the Town, we are taking on a West March style Hex Adventure through a dangerous territory. Their goal is to flee to a nearby town as refugees where more story elements will start to come in to play.

Bottom line, this short, simple supplement has paved the way for us to embark on a fun adventure with the PCs fully involved. This book has done everything it is meant to do, and more.

5 Stars

Looks very interesting! Definitely going to try this out once my current campaign wraps up.

After reading through the first few pages of the adventure, I know that this is going to be a hit with my RPG group. Even the min/maxers. I'll definitely come back and throw some gold your way in the future.
