The Wildfire Trilogy

In the Wildfire Trilogy,  tell the story of what happens when magic gains sentience and becomes free to build a new world. Each of these micro-TTRPGs uses prompts and directives to create a bold, imaginative play experience for a group of 3-5 players. Learning to play is as simple as reading through the text of each and doing what it says.  The games can be played together one after another in 2-4 hours, or played individually in about 30-60 minutes each.

Listen to it being played on the One Shot Podcast.

The Games 

Prologue: Conclave

The Archmage holds the ability to control all magic. They must choose a successor to wield this impossible power. In this prologue, you play the group of mages looking to be that successor. One of you will kill the Archmage, causing a war for the Archmage's ability to control magic.

What the wizards don't know is that magic will no longer be controlled.

Wildfire

One by one, spells are awakening, thwarting their intended purposes and seeking to fulfill their true purpose in the world. What happens along the way? What is hurt or helped when the spell begins its journey?

How long can the magic last?

Ember

Spells came alive and burned themselves out of existence. Magic is fading.  Where once was a raging fire, only embers remain.

You and your friends are powerful mages, each casting one last spell before it all goes away.  What will you cast? Is the world better off without magic?  You and your friends decide.

Susuruss

Magic has exploded, it has disappeared, and now centuries later, it slowly makes its way back to rebuild a new world. You and your friends once again take the role of living magic, reshaping the world with your unimaginable power.

What will you build from the ashes of the old world?
