Fight back against megacorps in their cataclysmic pursuit of magick.

The Means of Magick is a tabletop RPG set in the aftermath of the Magick-Industrial Revolution. Megacorps are vying for control of the economy by extracting mass amounts of magick from the earth, which is slowly killing the planet. Players will have to face off against magickal natural disasters, corrupted flora and fauna, and the insidious corporations themselves.

Wannabe Games wants their players to be able to tell stories about a world in crisis, where people can come together to enact meaningful change in their communities. Your characters will do what they can to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their homes from the destruction of the megacorps, living under the system while also fighting against it as best they can. Your characters are capable of doing amazing things: maybe while you play, you'll discover what you’re capable of, too.
