Runecaster

Description

Runecaster is a narrative RPG for 2 to 6 players and a GM about learning magic through spectacular failure. Play as rookie mages who cast unique spells by combining runes. Magic is full of unintended consequences and new discoveries. Magic will just as often blow up in your face as it will light your way. Runecaster is suitable for all ages and fit for 2-4 hour one-offs or extended campaigns.

If you loved the magic systems of Witch Hat Atelier, Magicka, Lost Magic, or The Name of the Wind, this game is for you!

The pivotal mechanic in Runecaster is spellcasting, which you do by mixing together nine different runes in various combinations. Based on your casting conduit, the environment, the GM’s whims, and many other unknown knowables, you will collaboratively determine unique spells. But the thing is, you are only a student, and magical Runes are cryptic.

Runecaster makes for a fun and chaotic one-off, as well as a full camp
