Fans of Agatha All Along, Wednesday and The Craft can now live out their dark academia dreams in Witchfyre
Lovers of everything witchy, fall and gothic can now indulge in their dark interests on the tabletop with Witchfyre, a brand-new book designed to be used with popular roleplaying games such as D&D 5E and Pathfinder 2E.
This supplemental book is ideal for fans of TV shows like Marvel’s recent Agatha All Along and Netflix’s Wednesday, as well as classic films such as The Craft and Hocus Pocus, thanks to the fact that it will enable them to create and play their very own witch characters, as well as explore an entire world infused with witchcraft.
Witchfyre features 13 different witch-themed subclasses for players to choose from, with each one scratching a unique kind of witchcraft-related itch.
From the soft, cottage-core Serenity Witches - who specialize in concocting wholesome healing brews - to the sinister Pact Witches, whose devotion to the dark arts have led them to form a bond with a powerful and dangerous entity, there’s something for every sort of witchy individual. There are even options for players who’re looking for more traditionally fantasy RPG archetypes: with the Hex Archer and Corpse Crafter providing a cauldron-and-broomstick approach to classic D&D classes like the Ranger and Artificer.
Once players have created their ultimate witch character, they’ll be able to find and join one of several witch covens spread across the world of Witchfyre.
Each coven offers their own unique schooling that will allow players to learn different abilities and powers. For example, The Thorned Roses can impart wisdom on mastering shielding wards, whilst The Distant Orchard's clandestine society promises power to thieves and assassins. Though joining a coven can be greatly beneficial to ambitious witches of all kinds, they’ll have to be careful of whom they trust, as power-hungry magic-users with hidden agendas lurk everywhere.
There are other ways of obtaining power in the world of Witchfyre, such as seeking out a pact with one of the Accursed Gods who wander the land. Alternatively, players can bond with one of 13 Witchfyre Dragons, each tasked with their own eternal quest and the potential to be an equally powerful friend or foe.
Besides the vast variety of options for character creation, development and exploration, Witchfyre also includes an entire adventure for players to experience. The Witchfyre adventure will take players’ characters through an incredible 13 levels, as they search for the secrets behind a dreadful magical curse sweeping the land and corrupting its inhabitants.
Witchfyre is currently featured in a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, which will end at midnight on November 14th. Backers can get their hands on a physical copy of the book - which includes everything needed to begin ensorcelling your tabletop RPG games - for $65, with an expected shipping date of October 2025, just in time for next Halloween.
Alongside the book, backers can also get several witchy accessories with their Witchfyre books - such as Witchfyre-themed tarot decks and scented candles - which are perfect for any fall lover and witchcraft enthusiast to enjoy.
