shadow wizard money gang ttrpg
A downloadable game
A one-page rules-lite tabletop rpg based on AD&D.
Made for the "one page rpg" game jam, july 2023.
You are the SHADOW WIZARD MONEY GANG.
Your bank account is EMPTY.
The other wizards laugh at your POVERTY and lack of DRIP.
There is only one reasonable solution:
MONEY AND POWER THROUGH HOMICIDE
MURDER the other gangs and take their STUFF until you are...🧀THE BIG CHEESE🧀
In this game, you invent spells for your wizard to use. They can have any effect, but the more powerful the spell, the higher its MONETARY COST. This prevents you from making an overpowered character. The costs provided in the rules are suggestions: you are meant to discuss with your GM to arrive at an appropriate value.
Only enemy statblocks are provided. GMs must create the dungeon crawl themselves. The excellent tool HEX DESCRIBE is recommended for this purpose: https://campaignwiki.org/hex-describe

Hi I finally updated this, you can see the SWMG-PHB google doc linked in the dowloads section. I've introduced a roll-under system and a ward system. The spell creation part is still unfinished. Hopefully the rules on skill checks and character creation are clearer for people who were confused by the one page pdf.
You will cook w/ this
Make sequel trust

The shadow government will be pleased to read this.

Hi, im back here because the author (im talking about you, asshole) said this game is trash on a youtube comment. Im here to remind you that this game is nuts, stupid, ugly and I love it. I will run it again this thursday.
When you are old, go back and take a look at this project, and maybe do a couple more playtests. You may be surprised by how good this is.
Also this is an ultimatum. You will update this game by september 6th or I will make a full hostile takeover of your company.

OMG....thank you>?????
Damn I gotta update this game now huh....we gonna turn this into a deckbuilder rpg just lemme cook......
hey i FINALLY updated it with a full spell list, September 5, the DAY before you said. 🫡🫡🫡🫡 i am unquestionably the best developer on this site💪💪💪💪
While I did not play this personally, I was given this feedback and I figured I'd share
"The Shadow Wizard Money Game was such a fascinating experience. Never have I ever played a ttrpg where even the descriptions were so chaotic and mind boggling that I question whether my character was the one doing crack or I was. Overall a 10 out of 10."
Me: I would like to cast fist.
DM: Sure, that will be $1d6.
Best action rpg system in the world.
Criticism:
Blue and green are overpowered.
Pink, cyan and orange are underpowered.
Also please put the skill check stuff in the next version of the rules, I dont want to chack dnd manuals to do that.
thanks for ur feedback b im glad you liked it😘
yeah its very much "rules lite" so if your players make broken spells then uhh 💀💀💀 just ask them not to ig
ill keep this in mind if i update this proj
I'd sell my soul to make a game half as good as this.
i'll pay you $3d6 for your soul
