Which themes are you trying for?
OCCULT CLASSIC

Submission Overview
In this game you imagine you are an occult practitioner using chaos magic rituals to evoke changes in a specific town. city, country, building or perhaps the whole world using maps and dice to create randomized results.
The design aim was to create a fun game through which people can engage with real chaos magic whether they are new or experienced and learn how to bring real positive changes to their lives and those around them.
You don't have to believe in magic to play, in fact the game is very clear that magic is not real and that even reality is a conspiracy. In this way the game seeks to lampoon traditional occult magic books and traditions and present an rpg that is irreverent, subversive and tongue-in-cheek, while still having genuine magical principles at it's core.

Either that or Penny Blake was bored and wanted an excuse to cause more mischief while eating jelly beans and cupcakes and covering the town in glitter - I leave it to the judges to decide...

Hi there! Instead of simply clicking stars in the rating, I'd love to give some feedback about your work. We invest lots of hours in this projects, so just a thumbs up or down is a bit unfair.

- First of all, wow. The rituals are just... magical. Evocative texts that realy seems like traditional pagan rites. All this will serve me as inspiration in the future, for sure.

- Then, I think about enboding trully the IRL rites, ditching the 'pretending to be a witch at home'. In that way, I feel like the puns and jokes break the mistical atmosphere.      

- Last, the project really needs some editing. All of it on a white sheet with the same font and format makes people not to value your fantastic piece. I know that editing is a horrific and spiky mess to get  into, but with simple tricks you can make some serious work.

So, I don't want to rant and be very pesky on other's work. Those are my humble opinions. Make what you feel with them and keep the good work. <3 Thank you for making this wonderful project.
