Your Tome Awaits

If you’ve ever wanted to play a Wizard who casts spells that don't quite make sense, then Tome might be for you! Here in Tome you get to

  • Create a character by using descriptors and races or ancestries.
  • Have a Tome (spellbook) that mirrors your characters look.
  • Choose 1 of 6 Schools of Magic to specialize in.
  • Do Wacky stuff with your wacky buddies.
  • Use a fancy folded Zine-like character sheet, or your Tome
    • For a J.P. Coovert video on how to fold it, see here.
  • Write down funny new spells you think of in your Tome

Tome is about solving everyday problems with wacky magical solutions. Do you have a leaking pipe? Well then feel free to use your Clown School spell Never-Ending Handkerchief to plug the hole. Have you ever wanted to get into a club that the bouncer won’t seem to let you get near? Simply cast your Employment School spell Stress to make the bouncer so stressed he has to go use the bathroom to calm down and you can walk right in! Are you in the middle of a test and desperately want to just sneak out, but the teacher is staring daggers at you? Make sure to look like you’re doing your test while you cast the Napping School spell Dream to make your teacher fall asleep allowing you to escape the dreaded classroom this time.

Why We Made this Game

We made this game because we like to laugh. The one thing that needs to happen at more tabletop sessions is the game itself serving that idea of driving laughter. Which lead us to create this little game. What started with 12 different wacky Schools of Magic ended up getting simplified down to the best and weirdest 6. Every time we played it there was laughter at our table.

Testimonials

I really liked that my character wasn't determined by describing how I want them to look as opposed to rigid races or ancestries.” - Playtester

There’s multiple solutions to a problem with how weird things can get. But of course there’s also only one solution to any problem in the entire game: NEVER-ENDING HANDKERCHIEF!” – Playtester

Having such weird Schools of Magic really help provide the game a personality that makes everyone have a fun time.” - Playtester
