4-20-2024 UPDATES

Hey there,

It’s been almost 2 years since we released Skate Wizards and we can’t believe that folks are still playing our game. We love hearing stories about your table, characters, homebrew rules and items. It never gets old and we’re always super stoked. Most of all we appreciate the word of mouth publicity. The game is not for everyone, but people who dig it, share it and we’re very grateful. 

We continue to sell the game through our own store but the game is also available from other places (like Goodman Games and Exalted Funeral). Since we find ourselves in the enviable circumstance of having to re-stock (thanks again), we thought we’d take this opportunity to make a couple of clarifications that have come from comments and feedback. Sorry it took so long.

Here’s a little list of the updates/changes. The PDFs available on the itch site also have these changes incorporated so if you already own the game you can just go ahead and download the latest version.

Thanks!

Mike & Levi

****WE UPLOADED THE NEWEST VERSION TO THE SKATE WIZARDS RPG SO FOLKS WHO ALREADY BOUGHT IT SHOULD GET THE AUTO UPDATED PDF :)

UPDATES

Character Creation - Step 2

The line “These stats increase as you level up.” caused some confusion. Some folks expected their Defense Number (DN) to increase so we’re changing that to “some stats increase as you level up.”

Combat Rules - Attack Bonus

The Attack Bonus has probably been the most asked about item. GMs are always free to do whatever they want at their table but in the game as written there is no attack bonus available until level 3 where it becomes an option. We have clarified the combat rules to read “The attacker makes an Attack Roll (AR) by rolling 2D6 and adding their Attack Bonus (AB), if applicable (for instance, if a character is level 3).

Skate Trick Names Table Descriptive Text

The purpose of this table is 100% for flavor. We didn’t want people to think we were making Tony Hawk Pro Skater the TTRPG. We also didn’t want folks who aren’t familiar with skate terms to think the game wasn’t for them. So, we created this table to help people understand the vibe and to help them get into it. You are under no obligation to use the table. If you do use the table you can use “Barky Monger” or “Barky Monger Chunt” or a full “Barky Monger Chunt with a Lazy Mast” … you get the picture. We’ve modified the instructions slightly to help clarify some of this. They now read as follows.

“A Skate Wizard's tricks are magical and different from any you may be familiar with. Feel free to make up your own trick names or roll 1D20 on each column from left to right to name your signature moves. This table is like a good bottle of hot sauce. Reach for it when you want more flavor in your game.”

Also, you should check out this cool cool trick name generator that Skate Wizard D. Hamberlin made https://dhamberlin.github.io/skate-wizards/ It includes all the terms from the original table plus a whole bunch of new terms.

Character Sheet

Finally, the character sheet has been updated with a new front image that takes better advantage of the space.
