SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Presenting Wizkid: The Cheapening: A scathing satire on Teen Sorcery School, it's fans and of course the sort of "fans" that let the whole side down.

Wizkid is an addition to the Shadow World line of Spoof Modern Horror though we fully encourage hacking up its flexible system for something a bit more serious if you are so inclined.

We can also make the following cast iron guarantees.

*The bare minimum of consensual reality bullshit.
*A Magic(k) system that is both relatively free form and simple enough to fit in to about 12 pages or so.
*Game fiction that will make you howl in joyous pain its so deliberately bad!
*No cheap wand jokes.
*A flaw that unlocks powerful benefits at the cost of your social standing.
*Innovative new mechanics for Shadow World and Xpress in general.
*NO STUPID ATLANTIS BACKSTORY!

You can get the badass dead tree real book HERE

Or if you are bang up to date with the digital world (unlike the author) you can get a PDF HERE

Amazingly, this makes me interested.

Funny though, I suspected it had to do with a card game....

Hearts & Souls 2E Coming in 2019

Postmortem does have a couple of Card Games on the books.

Hentacle/Cthentacle: Which take the mickey out of Hentai and it's obsession with tentacles and buxom girls in silly costumes.

and Make a Mo: The mix and match card game where you make your own tasteless cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed.

But the Shadow World games are definately RPGs. They are spoofs of WW Storytelling pretentiousness as well as the fanbase and pop culture attatched.

Taking a break from them at the moment though. Got a couple of history based Beer and Crisps games. Tough Justice and Courtesans.
