My favorite game I never get to play? Easy.
I love everything about this game and I never ever get to play it. I think the last time was at Gen con maybe 10-12 years ago.
It was my inspiration behind Ghosts of Albion and NIGHT SHIFT. Neither of those games would have been made if it had not been for WitchCraft.
I can't even adequately put into words what this game means to me. Only the AD&D Monster Manual comes close.
Going back to Room #2 the next passage looks similar to the passageway for Room #3.
Not sure if this means "This Year" or "Ever." Let's go with Ever.
The Oldest game I have played is Original Dungeons and Dragons.
I spent a summer after my freshman year at college playing in an OD&D campaign. It was an eye-opening experience to say the least!
Passageway 4 ends in a locked door. The lock can be picked or forced open with a combined strength of 24.
Inside this small oval shape room, the party finds a collection of treasure.
The lamps (six total) glow with an arcane light (via a continual light spell).
There are all sorts of small chests here (10+1d6) each containing gems (5d8 x 100 gp worth), a decanter of endless water, a spell book with random spells (1d10 1st level, 1d8 2nd level, 1d6 3rd level, 1d4 4th level, and 1 5th level). Despite it's obvious age it appears to be magically preserved.*
*If a player reads a spell from this spell book as if it were a scroll, it will destroy the whole book.
There is a dagger +2, +3 to lycanthropes.
A shield +2, +3 vs. missile fire.
A scroll of teleportation (with detailed descriptions of the 1st level).
As well as 1d4+3 random other magic items.
Three of the small chests act as large bags of holding. A person could carry one each.
There is a jeweled crown (cursed, after possessing it for one year the wearer thinks they are a king and demand to be treated as such).
And a gilded, jeweled dagger. It is sharp but not magical. It is worth 1,000 gp.
Otherwise the room is a dead end.

Game Masters should reward XP value equal to 1/2 of the GP value of treasure found.
I wasn't going to promote any Kickstarters for a bit after a month of doing nothing but Wasted Lands, but this one came up and I couldn't say no.
The Beast & Snow #1 - NSFW Queer Fairytale Romance

Revision fairy tales? Vampires? Strong female leads? Kat Calamia and Phil Falco? Dorilys Giacchetto cover? Liana Kangas cover? Stjepan Sejic cover?!
Sign me up! No need, I did that myself.
Ok so this looks like a lot of fun and I am getting a strong "Carmilla" and "Vampyres" vibe from this.
The art looks great and the story should be great from what little bit I can gather here. They are just missing a witch from being perfect! (I am nothing if not consistent.)
And if you think I am NOT doing versions of these characters for my home game using my Monster Mash rules then you don't know me or this blog very well.
They have met their funding and unlocked their first stretch goal. Looks like they might need more stretch goals at this rate!
But seriously, this looks like a lot of fun and I hope there are a lot of issues in this series.
Not counting collections (I'll detail that later) the most recent game I have bought was bought FOR me and not BY me. That would be my Spanish Language D&D 5e books.
I got these as Birthday presents back in June because I am learning Spanish now. They are actually a lot of fun and have been a great challenge. I am looking for other RPGs in Spanish too.
Continuing on in this passageway the party encounters a long corridor.
This corridor is lit with an eerie eldritch light. The floor is made up of tiles.
The corridor is 50ft long, and every five feet there is a pressure plate on the floor that fires a magic missile at the party. 1d6 hp of damage, it will always hit one character at random.
A thief can find the traps (the pressure plate), but the trap itself is magical and needs a dispel magic to stop. The dispel magic only works for 1 of the 10 traps in this area.
Doing so will result in 50 xp.
