How to Make A Literal Cat in Your Favorite RPG

46 - Making An Alchemist Who Wants To Be a Real Boy in Magonomia

Season 1, Ep. 46

Magonomia by Shewstone Publishing is a Fate-based RPG of wizards in Renaissance-era Europe. The spells and skills included in the game are inspired by the actual notes and teachings of real scientists and charlatans of the era. We are kinda bastardizing this by saying a cat also did Alchemy in that setting, but in our defense, it was for the bit.
