I actually have! I just need to get around to it. 😅 My personal life is a little wild right now. In the meantime if you want a community copy I am adding some soon after posting this comment!

Thanks for your kindness! I’m looking into how I can add an option for just donating community copies. 

sorry for the late reply but there are copies now!

Hi! Unfortunately no, the only sets done are the base/default set and the mentor set. I had plans for more but I started a demanding job and life got busy. I do plan on getting back to them someday, though!

Hey, thanks for the kind words! Yes, unfortunately I have much less time in my personal life and a new job that's pretty taxing. Someday I hope to get back to it and provide more prompt sets.

🙏🙏🙏

New batch dropped!

new batch just dropped!

I have a couple I'll release now, good luck!

Some new ones have dropped, go go go!

If you can, please let me know how it goes!

Sorry for the wait, but another set is up!

I believe I got you a copy, correct? If not let me know!

A batch is releasing now, email themagicalyearofateenagewitch@gmail.com if you don't get one!

A new crop of community copies have been made available, email me at themagicalyearofateenagewitch@gmail.com if you aren’t able to snag a copy. Thanks for the interest!

Ah, that's great! Means a lot to me, thank you.

 I have added more copies! If you don't grab one, please email themagicalyearofateenagewitch@gmail.com and I'll get  you one.

Sorry this is so late, but  I have added more copies! If you don't grab one, please email themagicalyearofateenagewitch@gmail.com and I'll get  you one.

Ah, thank you! Stanley sounds like a very good witch. 

Hi, thanks for the kind words! I’m adding another round of them in about 15 minutes. May the odds be in your favor!

More are about to be added!

now is your chance!

Go go go!

Gez, I added five a couple hours ago! :D

Here’s a few more, go go go!

I love this! Let me know if you have any questions. The rules are a little intense especially during character creation, but I hope you all enjoy it once you get going!

Just added some more, go go go! Let me know if you don't get one.

Hi! I don’t think there’s a way to be notified and they’re added every few days, but they go FAST. I’m adding a few extras now, if you don’t get one email themagicalyearofateenagewitch at gmail and I’ll hook you up!

Hi, thank you for the kind words! Glad you’re enjoying the game.

And thank you for sharing this project, I hadn’t heard of it yet! So when I made this game years ago, I was surprised there weren’t already more games like it. I see the similarities, but I also see how we arrive at similar places with similar inspiration.

I don’t know if the designer is aware of my little game or not, but even if they do take inspiration from Magical Year, I’m flattered. Magical Year only exists because Tim Hutchings was kind enough to allow me to use his TYOV system. Koriko looks great, I wish it success, and will look forward to getting my hands on a copy!

(And maybe it’s inspired me to do a physical release of Magical Year 2.0 down the line, we’ll seeeeee)

More added! If you aren’t able to grab what you need, email themagicalyearofateenagewitch@gmail.com and I’ll set you up. Thanks!

If you aren’t able to grab what you need, email themagicalyearofateenagewitch@gmail.com and I’ll set you up. Thanks!

Hi, thanks so much for the kind words! I do not have plans to make other games using this system, but I hope more designers do!

Thanks! I had a few sales this week and added them in. If you miss getting one let me know and I’ll get one to you another way. 

I appreciate that so much! Thanks for playing my game!

Yes, there's only the default and mentor sets right now. I'm planning on releasing another two or three sets, including:

• A witch who attends school during their Magical Year
• A witch who owns/opens an alchemy shop
• A witch who travels throughout their Magical Year

I'm actively working on the student witch set, I think I'm mostly through spring and summer . In fact, I could send you an early version of it for you or another player to use...I'd just need to keep up with you and send you autumn and winter before you get there, haha. If you'd like that please DM me @Swashtalk on Twitter or email themagicalyearofateenagewitch at gmail!

Thanks so much, you don't know how much that means to me. <3

I'm glad you're enjoying it! I've been wanting to play a game with this vibe for so long and eventually decided to make one myself. It's so niche I didn't think it'd find much of an audience, so it means a lot whenever it resonates with someone!

The mechanics around converting Powers has always been a bit too loose I think, it's something I hope to tighten up in the next revision of the rules. It probably stems from me wanting to create some constraints but not box players in too much.

For the most flexibility, you can convert Traits into Powers immediately before you need to add or mark a Power. This way you can come up with whatever is optimal for the narrative and the situation you're in (storm raining on a festival? Convert a Fire Memory into a weather ritual to warm things up! Or two marked Skills!). It's not the clearest in the way the rules are currently written, but if a Prompt calls for you to mark a Power, you can convert other things into a new Power and immediately mark it, all in one Prompt response.

Alternatively, converting Powers ahead of time can push your creativity. Sometimes you're forced into this, such as if you need to add an Experience but all your Experience slots are full, and the Prompt you're on doesn't call for you to add or mark a Power. But if you have a cool idea for a spell and want to convert some things ahead of time, you can definitely do that. Converting Powers ahead of time can lead to some fun situations that make you stretch your magic a bit (Storm raining on a festival and you have an unmarked spell that lets you talk to creatures? Maybe you convince some nearby dragons to come light up some bonfires and put on a show!)

If you have any suggestions or more feedback as you play I'd love to hear it! I'm hoping to launch version 1.0 later next month and want to pack as many improvements as I can into it. Happy witching!

Ah, thank you! I hope you have a great time playing it. Def go at whatever pace works for you. If you have any questions as you play please let me know.

And I'm glad to hear you like the playlist, I added that on a whim just for something silly and fun, haha.

Ah, thank you so much! You’re right, there’s a lot of Hilda in this game too now that I think about it. I hope you enjoy the rest of your game and if you have any Qs let me know!

Oh no! I am so sorry, I got things mixed up while launching the update earlier today. It should be fixed now! I really appreciate you letting me know!

Ah, thank you! I want to hear about what you all get up to when you do get around to playing!

I'm *close* to releasing the dedicated multiplayer mode, the play-by-post rules have been a blast to playtest. It'll only be 2p at release, though, as...adding more players involves me writing up 240 prompts per player, haha. However, I think the "solo" game is fun to play with a group too, all contributing to the story of one witch. I hope you enjoy it and thank you for supporting the game!

Thanks so much, levoneh! I can't tell you how much your enjoyment of the game means to me.
