Download, print, fold, hand to new player, play.
Some design notes:
- Inspired by: 5e's clunky ass magic system (out of spite); various zines ; Into the Breach, somehow
- I """"balanced"""" these for a hypothetical all-wizard-no-spell-slots 5e game that will never happen. A more refined game/hack would help these books shine, but I haven't figured out what that would be yet
- in the theoretical grimoirehack, all players would play wizards, each dungeon would have a new grimoire for treasure, and each player would have some kind of... rubber stamp? yeah, a stamp (unique wizard seal) for marking which pages of which grimoires they've learned. i think that's fun
- yes, you can learn from more than one grimoire (wizard multiclassing). There's some obvious cross-grimoire synergies in these 6
- i wanted to make a randomizer that scrambles the grimoire pages and makes a printout, but i got lazy
- This is technically a GLOGtober post, except its for my own prompt (Physical Game Pieces) so it doesn't count IM GOING TO FAIL AGAI
This is perfect for one-shots! If the rules and character sheet (ideally both) can also fit on a single A4, you could just give each player a rules/character sheet and a grimoire and start playing immediately.
