We are very excited to announce a special collaboration with local gamer “RetrofitGamesCo.” in collation with the “Aurora RPG Club!” Check out his “Spooky Aurora” RPG zine duo, now available in the storefront!
With both Shop Witches being die-hard “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” fans since day one (we have our own “Magic Box” after all, with a kitten named, “Giles”) and one of them also having a history with “Dungeons & Dragons” and tabletop gaming, this seasonal local collab seemed natural.
“‘Spooky Aurora’ is a tabletop role playing game set in our hometown of Aurora, IL!
The first installment, ‘Spooky Aurora: White City,’ is about Aurora’s Irregular Investigators traveling to the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair to patrol for supernatural threats, while meeting up with figures like T.S. Eliot, Anne Oakley, and Scott Joplin.
Its companion, ‘Spooky Aurora: City of Cemeteries,’ has the investigators protecting 1894 Aurora IL from things that go bump in the night! Travel to local landmarks such as the Aurora Gas Works building, the Driving Park, and the historic Aurora Opera House.
These games are designed for busy adults! Fast character creation, a simple 2d6 resolution mechanic, and a Driving Question give players a specific problem to investigate and solve in about 3 hours. Each RPG Zine has nine supernatural adventures that could have happened!”
Stop in and grab your copies as part of our upcoming Spooky Season festivities.
