The Wizards and the Wastes is a game of arcane bargaining. Nominated "Most Innovative" for its unique spellcasting system, wherein you create spells from your personal spell source; a painting, a book, a collection of poems, a graphic novel, or an album.
You circle passages, lyrics, words, images, panels, and turn them into spells. Then you bargain for those spells using the various currencies the game chokeholds you with. Trading years of your life, insight, toxicity, and corruption to cast spells as you see fit.
Inspired by Howl's Moving Castle, Bloodborne, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica, The Wizards and the Wastes is a social roleplaying game where you take on the roll of a state-sanctioned wizard with the impossible task of servicing a village and its rulers.
