Description

The world is a wretched place, and life is awful. Thankfully, You Are Magic, and even better, you can Do Magic, and it rules. Anyone can be a Wizard, and a Wizard can be anyone.

Wizard Pals is a lighthearted TTRPG/collaborative storytelling game in which every hero is a mysterious and magically powerful being known as a Wizard. To play, you need some pals of your own, some 12-sided dice, and an adventurous spirit. The game itself is easy to learn and approachable, open-ended and chaotic, and perfect for new TTRPG players and veterans alike.

Real humans had these things to say about Wizard Pals:

"...a good-ass game..."

"...goofy, but also really warm and inviting."

"Honestly, this game absolutely slaps."

"...charming, buckwild, fun-as-hell..."

And it is the recipient of a very real and major award from Cat Sìth Press as well as an equally real Baffy Award!


Wizard Pals includes:

  • Fast, fun, randomizable rules for creating Wizards
  • Tools for Wizard Pals GMs to create exciting adventures for their Wizard friends
  • Streamlined rules for Wizards in combat
  • A full Wizard Pals character sheet
  • Brief advice on the use of safety tools in your games
  • Two pre-written adventures for GMs to run 

This game takes serious (and absolutely not-so-serious) genre inspiration from a number of sources:

  • The Lord of the Rings
  • Flight of Dragons
  • Hello From The Magic Tavern
  • JourneyQuest
