Basic Roleplaying Rules for Witchcraft in Different Settings

The village wise-woman creating herbal mixtures to cure her neighbours of the latest plague to curse their homes, the crone who disguises herself as a beautiful young woman to entice men to their doom, the travelling warlock who trades in potions and talismans which may or may not be truly magical. These are all examples of witches; men and women for whom witchcraft is an art and a profession.

Within this monograph you will find new spells common to witches, rules for brewing magic potions and rules for creating talismans — a new kind of one-shot magic item in which the witch invests a portion of their soul for a short time. There are also descriptions of various witches’ organisations, and optional allegiance rules for flavouring magic ‘black’ or ‘white’.

BRP: Witchcraft is a monograph best suited to Dark Ages, High Medieval, High Fantasy, Arabian Nights and Renaissance settings. However, there is nothing to stop you playing a modern witch selling magic potions under the table at a local diner or an apocalypse survivor rediscovering the old ways.

By Byron Alexander, illustrations by Seskimo. 76 pages.

Excellent. Just what I've been waiting for. :thumb:

I highly recomend this for those that enjoyed Classic Fantasy as the entire potion rules contained within my book are based on those created for BRP Witchcraft. Byron was nice enough to let me use them. :thumb:

Also, I am creating an NPC class for my second book based on the witch profession from BRP Witchcraft. However, my witch will be using existing CF spells due to space limitations, players are encouraged to use BRP Witchcraft for a more "witchy" feel for their spells. So those wanting even greater detail for their CF campaigns cant go wrong with Byron's detailed work.

And again, congrats for seeing this come to light. arty:

Once again where is the Deadtree or "printed" version of this book? I only buy "printed" versions of anything, inwhich I then add to my 32+ yr growing library of gaming stuff. I hope that this work comes out soon as it has been out now since before Christmas 2009.
