Check out the Academia Arcana RPG book on RPG Overviews!

The Backerkit campaign for Academia Arcana RPG is live and I take a look at the book! If you would like to play an RPG where giants tell you that you're a wizard and you reply "I'm a what?" or someone tells you the name of some fantastical creature and you reply "it's a what?", then you should check this out!

In Academia Arcana RPG, you and your coven of teenage wizards and witches wield magic and solve mysteries at the Eternal Academy. Fabulous power and wonderous magic await the dedicated student! However, the institution that is the Eternal Academy does not wield a gentle hand nor deliver an entirely safe place to study. But don’t worry! Students that perish are awarded post-humous graduation degrees.

I am running the Evolved funnel (Evolution: Better, Faster, Harder) and I couldn't find a character sheet to use so I made my own. Quick and dirty but I like it. Please use if you want. Can very easily be modified to be a MCC funnel sheet or even Umerica or Weird Frontiers I guess.

Novice Judge running DCC published modules at a Pensacola, FL residence.  From beginners to old grognards, all are welcome (Must be 18+).  Every Thursday from 7-10pm.  Very easy game to pick up.  I have all the materials needed.

Nice quiet neighborhood.  It’s a “bring your own snacks” kind of affair.  Fridge space is limited.  Hoping to land a table of 3-5 semi-regulars, but well aware that life stuff happens. 

Feel free to message through here (Reddit) for any additional information.  It’s hot as heck outside, so why not spend a few hours in the cool air rolling dice and fighting monsters?   It’s surprisingly therapeutic! 

Sessions starting Thursday August 27^(th).   

*No relation to the hit book series.   

Hi community, a few days ago I posted about this spell for DCC thank you all who responded and offered ideas. Ive decided to take my first crack at creating a spell for DCC and Id like to share it here for comments, suggestions, peer review from fellow Judges and players. While I mostly have experience with 3e and 5e D&D I particularly love the DCC spell system and it's one of the big reasons I now exclusively run DCC.

Instead of dungeons, you explore garage cooperatives, basements, and metro tunnels. Instead of monsters, you face off against hooligans, bandits, drug dealers, and corrupt law enforcement.

I’m drawing inspiration from Etrian Odyssey, especially its gameplay loop, but since I’m building this entirely solo, the scope is intentionally compact:
• 3 classes, each with its own distinct skill set
• 5 stats that shape combat and core gameplay mechanics
• Small, tightly-designed maps

I love grid-based dungeon crawlers, so I wanted to bring the genre into a setting that’s never really been explored before.
