In this episode, we dive into the wild, unpredictable world of magic in tabletop RPGs, exploring everything from classic Vancian spellcasting and magic points to other innovative systems. We even touch on psionics and super powers. Breaking down how traditional games like Dungeons & Dragons have shaped the art of casting—with mechanics that range from rolling on unique spell tables with critical successes and catastrophic failures, to open-ended systems like Ars Magica’s flexible combinations, and take a look at the gritty chaos magic of Warhammer. Whether you're a veteran or new to TTRPGs, join us as we roll to cast and uncover the magic behind every unpredictable twist and turn.
