Since there isn't a Gimmick's Gadgets for DC Adventures, I thought I'd collect all the official links for DCA resources.

• DC Adventures Quick Start PDF
• DC Adventures Character Sheets
• PDF Preview: The Joker
• PDF Preview: Aquaman

I'll add to this list when there are more

Cool list! What other things do you plan to add? Official materials only, or third party stuff? I have a bunch of links to interviews and other odds and ends in an old thread of mine leading up to the release, but I'm guessing you're more interested in just collecting PDFs and references for the official rules?

[The Fifth Wanderer]

I originally hadn't thought of adding unofficial third-party materials to the list, but I suppose I could. I'm going to add episodes from the Vigilance Press podcast to this list right now. If anyone has suggestions to add to the list, please post them here.

[Odami]

It'd be great if you broke it up into sections.

Something like that.

[The Fifth Wanderer]

I was updating it to divide it into sections and add a bunch of podcasts from Vigilance Press to it even as you were posting your suggestion. Great masterminds think alike

[reddofnonnac]

Thanks! This is very helpful to have it in one place.

[The Fifth Wanderer]

Update: Added Ski's DCA/3E Excel Character generator.

Would this thread be a good candidate to be updated to sticky?

[Jraven56]

I have inquired about, but failed to find, the design journals other than the one for catman.

I for one would be happy if those were located and added to the list.

I know Chris McGlothlin posted one, but my search fu is weak and I can't seem to dig it up. Another poster or two talked about their builds on the RPG.net forums, but this was months and months ago, so I don't even begin to know how to dig those up...

[Paragon]

If we're going to list the Excel sheet, shouldn't we mention the HeroLabs program?

[Shadowchaser]

Yeah, good plan.

Here's a link to the free trial download.

Here's a link to the information page.

Done. I can't believe I forgot about Hero Lab.

Added these as well.

I'm also adding a link to a thread for character sheets.

[The Fifth Wanderer]

Updated with two more podcasts from Vigilance Press. They really like DCA, don't they?

I'm a shameless fan of DC Adventures.

Well, mostly M&M 3E, the ruleset. The next Encounter I plan to run will have more home-brew characters in it, so I can post those to the Roll Call forums, but it might not be recorded for a week or two, with the Holidays coming up.

Thanks again for this resources thread! I did one back when the game was first announced, but let it go after the game was published. I should've transmuted it into a list like this, but... I didn't have the forethought to do so.

[The Fifth Wanderer]

You're welcome. I know how invaluable a list like this is. Before my last computer tanked, my list of RPG resources was extensive.
