New Sourcebook “It’s A Thieves Life” Elevates Thieves in Dungeon Crawl Classics

The realm of tabletop RPGs just got sneakier with the launch of “It’s A Thieves Life,” a new sourcebook by Polyhedral Earth Society that’s dedicated to the often-underappreciated thief class in Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC). This detailed guide spans over 60 pages and offers a variety of specialized content designed to bring depth and excitement to thief characters across gaming tables.

“It’s A Thieves Life” offers a variety of features designed to enrich both the player’s and Judge’s engagement with the game. For players, the book provides extensive character development resources, allowing for the creation of complex and engaging thief personas with detailed backgrounds and motivations. It also introduces a range of specialized equipment that supports a variety of stealth and subterfuge tactics.

For Judges, the sourcebook includes numerous adventure hooks and scenarios that are easy to integrate into ongoing campaigns. These elements are designed to ensure that the thief class can be a central part of the adventure, rather than a secondary choice. Additionally, an innovative pickpocket deck transforms this common thief skill into a more strategic and interactive part of the game.

Synica Melton, owner of Polyhedral Earth Society, expressed excitement about the release. “We’re thrilled to introduce ‘It’s A Thieves Life’ to the DCC community,” he said. “This sourcebook is designed to celebrate and expand upon the rich lore and mechanics of the thief class, providing players and Judges with an invaluable resource that will inspire countless adventures.”

“It’s A Thieves Life” goes beyond traditional portrayals of thieves, encouraging players to explore diverse roles within their narratives and adventures. The sourcebook’s creation involved a team with over 80 years of combined gaming experience, providing insights into different types of thieves, guild dynamics, and even guild wars, aiming to enhance the role-playing experience.

Currently available for pre-order on BackerKit, “It’s A Thieves Life” is poised to become a great resource for DCC players and Judges interested in bringing a new level of depth to their thief characters.
