Arcanists Preview
A downloadable game
So when the king came down from the mountain, bat-like wings blotting out the sun, silver scales harder than steel, a roar that shook avalanches from the mountaintops, and a blizzard pouring from his mouth, Okra was not afraid.
Okra had arcanists on their side.
Arcanists is a setting-agnostic fantasy game about talented spellcasters who go into a world where magic is wild and dangerous and use their own wild and dangerous gifts to solve problems no one else can. It is primarily a game of investigation and community service with support for creative combat. Gameplay follows a seasonal or episodic structure that focuses on the most significant missions of an arcanist's adventure.
This preview includes the basic rules for playing Arcanists, the structure for running missions, multiple creatures to use in your games, pre-generated characters, and a mission for beginning arcanists. Purchase this Preview at the Early Supporter level or higher to get early access to the full Arcanists rules in their current form (rough but detailed) including character creation, liberated spellcasting rules, rules for leveling up, additional monsters, and more!
The first 100 people to play a game and complete the Arcanists Playtest Feedback form will be credited as playtesters in Arcanists' future release.

Academy Tester
Get access to everything provided to Early Supporters, and also join me for character creation and a mission in Arcanists along with others who purchase the Arcanists Preview at this level. Character creation/session 0 will likely be a single 1-2 hour long session and the mission will probably take somewhere between 4-6 hours, broken up into 2-4 sessions. As the game is still in playtesting, average times for missions have yet to be established.
Everyone who purchases the preview at this level will be credited as an Academy Tester in Arcanists' future release.
Anyone who accesses this reward will be expected to treat everyone at the table with dignity and kindness. Safety tools will be in place, including the X-Card, lines, and veils, and we will use these and a session 0 (in the same session as character creation) to help create a safe gaming environment. Access to this reward may be revoked for any behavior that jeopardizes a safe, fun experience for everyone.
