Welcome to
Arcana Academy...
If you’ve ever wished you could attend a magical school like Hogwarts or Brakebills, this is the game for you. Solve mysteries, get into trouble, learn magic, and forge lasting friendships or bitter rivalries!
With a focus on attending a school for the magically gifted, Players will get creative with spells, wander the halls after dark trying to solve mysteries, and explore a world unlike any they’ve yet experienced…
How to Play...
The game is inspired by wildly popular Powered by the Apocalypse style of games with a few twists to better fit the tone and theme we wanted to create.
Arcana Academy uses a tag based system that lets you choose what’s important to the story. Along with the spells you’ve mastered, your character’s personality or talents are what drive the action forward.
The game uses free-form spell creation, allowing you to customize the spells your character knows. Using the spells at your disposal creatively can totally change the way you approach a challenge. Spells do one specific thing, but have an endless amount of uses.
Finding clever ways to use the spells you have at your disposal is part of the fun of playing the game.
A big part of the story revolves around the central mystery. As you look for clues to help you uncover the strange happenings at your school you will get to ask questions the Game Master will answer honestly, however the mystery is working behind the scenes to ruin things for the characters.
It’s up the the players to work out what’s going on before it’s too late!
