Marginal Worlds Game Pitch
I was joined by Zoe Franznick who is kickstarting a new magic item deck called Marginal Worlds along with co-creator Mac Boyle, both bringing their expertise in Medieval Studies to bear on the project. I think it's a good fit for games like Knave, OSE, Cairn, and Dolmenwood!
Marginal Worlds is a magic Item Deck is a deck of 50 easy-to-play magic items pulled directly from medieval manuscripts that you can play in any TTRPG. The deck features 50 playable, hand-illustrated magic items and a Game Master’s Guide to match. Each item is a real-life artifact or magic item found in a medieval manuscript. Plus, Marginal Worlds magic items are D&D 5e-compatible AND system-agnostic - you can use the deck in any TTRPG system, no fuss!
The Deck and Guide are available in PDF and physical print copies, and includes:
- 50 system-agnostic magic items with easy-to-play descriptions
- Quick-play icons for features such as cursed items, sentience, or high-level play
- Excerpts featuring each item in its original medieval manuscript
- A detailed Game Master’s guide with additional descriptions and lore
- Gorgeous, hand-illustrated manuscript art
- Systematic, consistent, and easily adaptable game design
- A complete D&D 5th edition appendix
- 3 additional Optional Play appendices
- A detailed glossary of our medieval sources
Plus, all backers will receive their name in the credits!
