INDEPENDENT TTRPG SUPPLIMENT: Secrets of Sylvera Academy - Various

Release Date:  April 23

Publisher: Single Step Gaming


SYNOPSIS:

Our "Secrets of the Sylvera Academy" series will contain new and inventive spells for casters of all stripes, plus some world-specific lore and story to whet your interest. The spells listed here are designed for our specific "5E Compatible" setting, but in places where any rules changes have been made that would lead to confusion when attempting to use with 5E or other 5E compatible systems, a "Generic 5E variant" is included in [brackets] in the text box. The purpose of this series is designed to be a broad-lensed product, so if your 5E is controlled by Coastal Wizards, if your group has leveled up, if your party raises the black flag, or if you plan to summon a simulacrum later this year, these spells will work at your table and in your campaigns.

 

REVIEW:

A kickstarter project that was funded in under 20 minutes and by a publisher with their heart of their sleeve as a portion of the sales of this book on Itchio and DriveThru will for perpetuity go to Trans Lifeline, a charity run for Trans people by Trans people.


What this book brings to the fore is some alternate spellcasting and not only a whole heap of spells to utilise for extra flavour in your TTRPG game (they're creating their own world later this year so its a sneaky peaky into whats to come) but also the ability to start a duel against other wizards. (Provided criteria are met.)


Each spell within has its own unique flavour (90 of them) and with the accompanying art really helps bring something a little extra to your game. Currently a number of the stretch goals have been reached with the publisher hoping to get to £2000 so that they can then release volume 2 in addition.


Back this up with nicely designed pages, easy to access format that will feel familiar to fans of DnD alongside a plethora of accompanying art and its a project that really has had a lot of love from the creators alongside imagination and will also work with other systems out there.


All round, when you get to see the fabulous art, and see the talent linked to this title, you really have to wonder how its being funded for so little, and I get the feeling that as word spreads about whats contained within, this original release will make its way to quite a few gaming tables.

Thank you.
