A game of wandering witches healing the world and helping out where they can.

A setting for Mausritter with a distinctly kiwi flavour.

Seasons of Magic is here!

(stunning cover art by Vagelio Kaliva)
This game is a different kind of power fantasy: one where we can save the world with kindness and understanding. Take on the roles of witches leaving their village for the first time to help people, spirits and places in ways big and small.
Much like these witches, Seasons of Magic has a long way to go! For now the core rules are available as a free playtest at the link below. I hope you enjoy making some witches and having adventures!

Kiwi RPG Week: Day 2
It's Kiwi RPG Week: a celebration of tabletop games, shows and other goodness from kiwis across Aotearoa and beyond!
Each day I'll spotlight three pieces of tabletop goodness from kiwi creatives: one single player game, one multiplayer game, and one supplement for an existing game. Today I bring you a solo vampire scenario, a game of heroes wielding evil sentient objects, and a horror overhaul for D&D 5E!
Fresh Blood
gothHoblin
Dramatic
Solo
Journaling game
You're a young vampire in a big city. Your sire is dying. It's up to you to collect the ritual ingredients to save their unlife.
Instruments of the Chrysanthemum Throne
Dale Elvy and Imaginary Empire
Rules light
Mythical Japan
Tense
The Instruments of the Chrysanthemum Throne are a collection of sentient objects that possess remarkable magical powers. They have been locked away for generations because of their abiding malice and hatred of people. Now in desperation the Emperor calls on heroes to wield these artifacts for good.
FiveEvil
Morgan Davie and Handiwork Games
This game isn't so much a supplement for D&D 5E as it is an experiment in how far the system can be pushed before it breaks. With full character creation rules, scenarios, and awful creatures to confront, this is a great horror game based on the popular d20 system.
