After a long but interesting work, Accio!, my Harry Potter RPG, is finally ready for prime time. The game is easy to play, the system being a simple 2d6+X vs. difficulty, and is very consistent with the Potterverse. Roleplaying wizards had never been so fun until we started waving around wands and shouting incantations!

The game has been tested with a single three-session adventure, The Crown of Merlin, thanks to my Partecipanti friends and Livio, guest starring as Peter Pettigrew (here is his script in italian). You can also download map and material for the adventure and a blank character sheet, plus an English-Italian names conversion table (the adventure and game are in English). Not related to the adventure, I have also written down the stats for Harry and his friends, as I see them at the beginning of book six.

Caveat: the system as it is now causes too many spellcasting failures in combat due to the Initiative penalty; I am planning a new draft with a Dying Earth-style system, which I believe is great for the ping-pong nature of magical duels. Meanwhile, the game is perfectly playable, as long as the HeadMaster (my term for GameMaster) describes failures as misses, reserving real mishaps for fumbles.

Ho finalmente steso una versione semidefinitiva di Accio! il mio GdR potteriano. Lo potete scaricare qui, è in inglese e sono una 15ina di pagine per 200 KB o giù di lì.

Adesso la parola ai miei fidi giocatori per il beta test e l’ avventura “Harry Potter e la Corona di Merlino”!
