Derek Guder (he/him)I haven't played #WeirdWizard yet because #ShadowOfTheDemonLord was more my style, but there's a #BundleOfHolding up for folks who are interested in the system (familiar d20, lots of options, only 11 levels so it's built for a relatively short campaign experience) but want a package that's much less aggressively in-your-face should check it out.
Shadow of the Weird Wizard Bundle
Adventurer! This all-new Shadow of the Weird Wizard Bundle presents Shadow of the Weird Wizard, the tabletop fantasy roleplaying game from Robert J. Schwalb of Schwalb Entertainment based on his bestselling Shadow of the Demon Lord. Funded in a huge August 2023 Kickstarter campaign, Shadow of the Weird Wizard swaps out Demon Lord's grimdark bleakness in favor of strange landscapes, bizarre monstrosities, and high adventure. (Okay, "bizarre monstrosities" is no stretch from Demon Lord.) The Weird Wizard once held sway over the Old Country, twisting the realm with eldritch magic. Now he has vanished, perhaps forever, and chaos reigns. Fleeing civil war, refugees seek new lives in the Borderlands – but who will protect them from the Weird Wizard's freed creations? To rebuild the world, your heroes strive against despair, battle corruption, and ultimately resolve the Wizard's mystifying legacy.
