The Magus & The Oracle Deck

From 20,00 to 60,00

Preorder. Scheduled for launch in April 2025.

In The Magusyou use dice and pen to write a unique story about the quest for arcane mastery and the infinite loneliness of power. Along your journey, you will be guided byThe Oracle: a companion deck of cards that reveal parts of a spell's true name alongside images and keyphrases that incite layers of meaning for your story. As well as meetings with unlikely creatures that may just leave their mark on the solitary heart of your Magus.

You write down your thoughts in a journal: the artifact that represents the ultimate goal of the game. You can also sketch pictures, take photos, make a pastiche of other forms of creativity. Whatever you choose, you get to set the pace of the game, whether it's only a few hours or several weeks of play.

Across your workshop lay curious mementos, these patient witnesses to a life colored by deep yearning. Was it for power? Gods, were you strong. Wielding fantastic spells to uncover stranger truths, or perhaps— to exert control on an increasingly alienating world. Or was it... For human touch? All this— for what? For connections that would barely quench your longing to belong? As you close this chapter of your life, you reflect on your storied past— all your scars and regret. You are the Magus, the Wizard of the Lonely Tower, and with these pages you will reminisce your story.

You will navigate strange encounters and confront complex opportunities for learning spells, or cultivating tenuous bonds. Everything comes at a cost: will you spend your scant remaining time to acquire more powerful spells, or nurture the few connections keeping you human?
