A GMless tabletop roleplaying game, in which you play a group of students at a magical academy: companions through the tumults and turmoil of a day in the life of wonder and whimsy. Bond over meals together, attend arcane lessons, socialize during your free time, and go on daring, mischievous escapades at night.

For 2-5 players. Takes 1-4 hours to play. Requires writing implements, index cards and sticky notes for physical play, or an audio and text channel for online play.

By Tomas Herbertson. Art by Annie Johnston-Glick. This game owes an immense debt of gratitude for the mechanical inspiration provided by the Firebrands Framework. It was Kickstarted during #Zinequest3.



"Y'ALL I LOVE THIS GAME. The magical school rituals existing in this beautiful lyrical ritual space (write poems! gather spices! do your hobbies!) puts the biggest fucking smile on my face."

- Jeff Stormer, Party of One Podcast
