THE GAME
Shadow of the Weird Wizard (sotWW) is a game of high adventure but relatively simple mechanics. If you've played any d20 fantasy game, you'll be pretty comfortable learning this. I've had the game since the kickstarter finished several months ago and figure it's finally time to try it out. Due to the amount of options for character creation, it's best if you own or have access to the core rulebook. No previous experience necessary.

THE PITCH
Robberies, assaults, and other crimes occur with unfortunate regularity in Eastport, but rarely do such happenings reach above the pirate rabble to touch the city’s elite. When Kytemnesis Goverbandy discovers he has been robbed, he turns to the best to find and return his stolen property. In Not Today, Death, the characters scour Eastport for the missing treasures. The rewards for success can set them up to live in comfort for years. Failure could mean the end of Eastport itself.

This will be a level 4 investigation-focused adventure. There will be plenty of opportunities for roleplaying and some combat as well.

THE DETAILS
I plan for the game to run for 2-3 months with a posting rate of 5/week. I'm looking for 4 players, ideally one for each novice path. If you have the Weird Ancestries book, some ancestries will not be allowed: centaurs, dragonet, ferren, harpy, naga, revenant, sphinx, sprite, tatterdemalion, and warg. If you're interested leave a comment below!

Oh nice! I backed the KS, have played plenty of Shadow of the Demon Lord, but have not had a chance to play this yet. I am curious to see how it feels different, or not, from SotDL. I'd like to join! I have all the many, many books, thanks to the KS, and Rob Schwalb's prodigious writing.

I'd be willing to play! I'm running a game right now but haven't had a chance to play in one yet.

I would love a spot. I know Shadow of the Demon Lord, but haven't had the chance to play the Weird Wizard variety yet.

Shadow of the Weird Wizard is a great game! Y'all enjoy! I've already ran this adventure, and it's very cool. If you end up needing any emergency replacement players, I'm available.

Looks like we have our four then. I'll get the game set up by this weekend and send out invites.
