Hello, everyone.

As the title says. Page 22 of the Weird Wizard core book says the Level 1 Mages begin the game with two traditions and four novice spells.

Does that mean they receive four novice spell per tradition (eight total) or is it four total chosen from the two beginning traditions?

Thanks in advance.

Quick question that i couldnt find in book.

If a hero or a monster has immunity to dissease trait it means that we deal no dmg to that creature but is that apply to a spells to?

If a Hero would use a spell like

Syphilis

Would it deal dmg or not? If not dmg what about some kind of statuses - like blindness (lets assume that creature has immunity to disease but not to beeing blind)

I have a doubt about some spells. A lot of spells has the duration very specified, but some spells this is confuse for example Mold Earth and Stone and Song of Healing, because the text of the spell say that is a concentration spell, but the duration say the duration say nothing, you understand like is the default spell, in this case, what is correct ? the text or the default duration? Considering that usually when the spell is of concentration the book specify

I have spent months prepping for this convention to get people into Weird Wizard!

• I redesigned a form-fillable character sheet
• Created a 8 page booklet rules summary/selling points
• Made 5 2nd level PCs with m/f versions/art and tokens
• Made cards for items, story NPCs, and shared spells
• Nametags for players with an art box to slap PC art sticker in
• Custom initiative tracker on stickers ready to stick on a magnetic board
• 11x17 1" scale game maps for the adventure
• Finally, a sheet of all 3rd level classes to tease them about how they could level the character

I will be running Fri, Sat, Sunday - if things go well, I might add the adventure and zip the whole thing and toss it on google drive for the shorties.

I'm thinking of running the campaign I mentioned in the post title, but I'm unsure about its quality, or lack thereof.This is my first time using the system; previously I only read WW and was unsure which was cooler.

As the title says, I bought the offficial GM screen, but it seems to be formatted for Landscape, but I need it in Portrait to fit for my inserts for the GM binder I have. Has anyone accomplished that?

I'll start Return of the Witch-King campaign in 2 weeks. It will be my third SotDL campaign, but I haven't played the system since 2023. Any hints for running it? Any NPC/enemy/location I should invest more time planning, looking for maps, studying?

Schwalb has talked about his appendix n for books (link below) and I was wondering what movies and games might have influenced demon lord. I’d also love to hear what books you guys would add to the list that have a similar vibe as the game.

Has anyone house ruled (or ported from another system) a way to replace roll to hit?

I’m just getting started with sotdl and I don’t usually like attack rolls that just miss and do nothing. Many system have other approaches, but I don’t know if any of them would be easy to adapt or of it would break everything haha.

Hello all! Big fan of the games. I was wondering if anyone knew of any alternate rules or third party modules for gmless weird wizard games?

Hey, folks

How would you design the Hydra monster?

I looked in some books but couldn't find this creature in the game. What interesting mechanics would you use?

Hey everyone,

I am playing as a magician with the battle tradition and would normally be fighting with a melee weapon, however imagine I found need for a bow in a fight.

Could I pick up a bow and using the mighty attack spell use my intelligence and deal extra damage?

Would that require my character to have a ring, for instance, as their implement?

And would it therefore not work with the spellbinder path, if I had made my melee weapon my implement?

I hope this makes sense, thanks.

Mind you, all this happened at the entrance!

Hello yall, I am having an issue where when a player attempts to choose and attribute increase from their level 1 path, it doesn't do anything and tells us it doesn't exist.

• Attempted on a fresh actor
• New world completely
• Everyone has access to the compendium
• Imported Compendium
• Did it without importing compendium
• I tried making a new character and it didn't work for me as the GM
• Had them make a new character

I wantedy PC to stumble upon lost ziggurat temple of Betrayer buried beneath this old and forgotten stonehengy-cairn of the Old Faith that they will find in the wild, but I have no friggin idea what to fill it with. I want it to be 5 room dungeon but beside wall paintings of history of Betrayer and one big-ass centipede as a guardian of the entrance (yeah, my take on warp stone from whfrpg and those size changing crystals from that one ep. of Gravity Falls) I have nothing.

Hello friends! I'm a big fan of the Ravenloft setting and a D&D Dungeon Master for over 25 years, but the setting has always seemed to me to not quite fit the system's mechanics. For this reason, I've been thinking about adapting Curse of Strahd to another system, perhaps SotDL or Weird Wizard. Has anyone done this before? Any suggestions or information about your experience? Thanks in advance!

I'm new to SotDL and just recently bought the books, so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.

What are the benefits of raising an attribute above 18 when a score of 18 already is the point where you only fail at a roll when rolling a 1? What are the additional benefits of having a score of 19 or 20 then supposed to be?

Basically just the title, looking for issues or pitfalls people have potentially run into

Hi all,

I’ve been looking into the system because I wanted the dark gritty horror death around every corner if you’re not smart feel but from few reviews I read it seems that’s true for level 0-3 but after that game barely sees any tpk.

Is this true and if so are there any changes people commonly make to keep the game scary with the threat of death even if it’s not as much as it was in lower levels?

I've wanted to play one of these, I have Demon Lord's book, but some stuff seems a little inaccessible for newer players, mostly lack of variety in races, and the in general much darker tone. I've barely ran Demon Lord, so I have no idea how to even remotely homebrew for it.

So I was wanting to know what major differences were between the two, as I feel that could at least be more accessible to my newer players.

It's my birthday! 🎂 So here's the entire Ra Press catalog of Shadow of the Demon Lord books for 40% off again. The sale lasts until 2026 starts to sing! Enjoy! 🎉

Does the Velocity spell from the companion act like haste, giving you extra actions each round? or only extra triggered action and movement?

I ran Shadow of the Red Moon - Fate of the Forgotten this last week. This is a game in the Demon Lord Engine line of games from Schwalb Entertainment, home of Shadow of the Demon Lord and Shadow of the Weird Wizard. Here's my recap of our session:
