You can download a one-page PDF with all the stats here:
These
stats are recommended for a party of 4 to 6 first level DCC
characters or a mix of level ones and zeroes.
For 5+ characters,
consider adding an additional member to all group encounters (cooks,
thieves, gelmen). Roll on the encounter table (2 in 6) for all rooms
without enemies or when noisy (use every encounter only once, except
gelmen; I didn't care for the vampires, so you have to stat them
yourself if you wanna use them). Don't forget to roll for room
dissolution if they stay in one place for too long.
Remember also that some of the encounters, like the gregarious ochre jelly or the out-of-luck thieves don't have to result in combat if the players act clever.
