A Russian witch will mess you up. I’m working on a supplement! It will first appear as a stretch goal for the Gauntlet Kickstarter (happening now)…it is all about religion and folk magic, two things no self-respecting Soviet airwoman has any time for. I think it will make the game awful in a totally new way.
Heh, and here I was thinking of a traditional witch on a broom dogfighting with German pilots. Silly me.
Todd Zircher yeah no
Todd Zircher actually, that is happening in another ongoing Kickstarter LOSELY based on AW. 😂 I love gonzo anime style games, let’s see what they pull out of that hat!
(no direct references in the Jason’s channel, of course).
Color me curious, link?

Oh, well that’s easy, I already backed it. 🙂
This is some of the best news I’ve heard in my wee rpg life!!
Wait a minute, is this a tonal shift to the supernatural?
Jools Thomas Nope.
From the supplement: “Magic isn’t real, past or present, and the spells and charms represented here have precisely as much potency as their targets believe they do. A zealous scientific atheist will laugh off a curse, while a credulous believer will be stricken by it. If you believe you are lucky or blessed, you’ll act that way, and things will go well for you as a result, and you will attribute it to magic. A character played as a strident atheist – one who still carries her League of Militant Godless card – should be immune to witchcraft, beneficial or perverse. For these rare women, treat klikushestvo as what it actually is – poisoning.
If you play Night Witches as though magic is real – as though supernatural forces exist and spells have real, extra-worldly potency – nobody can stop you, but you are doing it wrong and it will mess up your game in unsatisfying ways.”
Todd Zircher Actually, it was kickstarter.com – Flying Circus – A Roleplaying Game of High-Flying Adventure! (look at the 10.000$ and 35.000$ reached stretch goal ;-P ).
(cough) I backed that one as well. 🙂
