Arcane Academia
A downloadable game
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."

Thanks for this game, Tomas. Just bought it after listening to your playthrough on the PARTY OF ONE podcast.
much appreciated! I think it was a good showcase of some of the game’s highlights, and Jeff is such a gracious host and skilled collaborator.
