This feels like the sort of game where, as soon as you are finished, you wish you could keep playing with these characters or exploring more of their world & their stories. I really admire that.
This must be the cutest piece of magical-education-themed media I've ever seen!
This game and campaign-worldbuilding tool is tabletop roleplaying at its most pure. The whole game basically just amounts to a group of friends sitting down to tell a story together, which is an activity any nerd should adore. There are some wonderfully creative prompts and a preloaded story structure to help guide people’s imaginations.
There’s also a world implied by the tiny scraps of lore the prompts hand out. While it should be familiar to anybody who ever fantasised about attending a certain school of magic when they were a child, it feels new, and provides enough gaps that it begs to be explored and filled in by the players.
I think the purity of the storytelling element is what my inner child loves most about this. There are no pesky mechanics to get in the way of the make-believe; the story players want to tell. I look forward to seeing more in this vein, perhaps each with their own unique world!
