A companion to the Witchpunk Fantasy Reference Guide

A coven exists first as a household. Survival, continuity, and shared labor define it more than belief, symbolism, or secret knowledge. People may disagree about ritual ethics, magical limits, or the meaning of their work, yet the household holds because disagreement won’t resolve hunger, exposure, illness, or exhaustion. Every day presents material problems that demand response. Food has to be prepared. Shelter has to be maintained. Tools wear down. Someone falls sick. Weather turns. Authority emerges from who ensures those needs keep getting met, even when tension runs high.

A companion to the Witchpunk Fantasy Reference Guide

This article examines witchpunk magic as a practice grounded in labor, repetition, and skilled handling rather than inheritance or discovery. Written as an in-universe text, it presents itself as a working record meant to be circulated among practitioners, apprentices, and observers who learn magic through doing. The voice assumes familiarity with daily work and treats magic as something shaped over time instead of uncovered whole. It’s designed for use with any witchpunk-focused fantasy roleplaying setting, regardless of system, tone, or scale.

The core argument centers on implements that earn power through use. Sickles, needles, bowls, cords, lamps, and other working tools matter because hands return to them every day. Repetition teaches limits and affordances. Maintenance creates intimacy. Bodily familiarity turns motion into judgment. A tool becomes reliable not because it’s rare, but because its weight, balance, and resistance are known under pressure. Magic accrues where effort concentrates rather than where legends point.

These implements act as witnesses. Wear records history in ways no archive can. A chipped blade marks a rushed harvest. A scorched bowl remembers an experiment pushed too far. Repairs carry memory forward instead of erasing it. Each fix binds past error to future caution. Adaptation leaves visible seams that show how practice survives changing conditions. Nothing here stays pristine, and that’s the point.

The article rejects relic-driven authority. Ancient artifacts appear as unstable shortcuts that bypass discipline. Their power feels impressive but unaccountable. In contrast, working tools establish authority through effort that others can see and measure. Skill earns trust because it exposes process. Anyone watching can trace how results were achieved, where risk entered, and what it cost. That visibility grounds magic in community rather than myth.

Loss receives equal attention. When an implement breaks or goes missing, power falters. The practitioner must adjust, relearn, or repair. That disruption creates friction that matters in play. Magic slows, choices narrow, and consequences surface. The article treats these moments as proof that practice carries weight.

For roleplaying use, this piece offers a lens rather than rules. It encourages tables to describe handling, upkeep, and failure alongside success. Tools become narrative anchors that track experience without escalating spectacle. Witchpunk magic, as framed here, rewards patience, endurance, and attention. Authority belongs to those who keep working when the shine wears off.

Danger begins when power notices repetition and decides it can’t remain indifferent. Force arrives late, after observation has already reshaped the field. Attention functions as pressure because it narrows freedom before any blow is struck. Once watched, actions stop being isolated events and start forming a record. That record creates expectation. Expectation creates entitlement. None of this requires threat or spectacle. Awareness alone changes how others respond. Doors open more slowly. Help arrives with conditions. Silence replaces courtesy. Power doesn’t need to act yet because the watched party adjusts behavior to avoid provoking response. That adjustment is the first cost, and it accumulates quietly over time. The setting stays calm on the surface while choices grow heavier underneath. Repeated acts risk becoming evidence. Visible success suggests capacity that may require regulation. Violence stays absent because attention already does its work, reshaping incentives and narrowing acceptable futures long before open conflict appears.

Our multi-part series around the tales of lumberjacks continues with the second release and even more monsters that work together with each other against heroes. We also include the second possible ally for them.

SPACE... THE FINAL FRONTIER

“Risk is our business. That’s what this starship is all about. That’s why we’re aboard her.”

– Captain James T. Kirk

The 23rd century serves as the foundation of the entire Star Trek universe. A time in which many of the most iconic people, starships, and locations are introduced, and when many of its key events take place.

The 23rd Century Campaign Guide presents the entire 23rd century for you to use in the Star Trek Adventures roleplaying game, from the growing pains of the nascent Federation in the century’s early decades to the rising tensions with the Klingon Empire that sparked a brutal war in 2256-2257. Then, onward into the bold “five year missions” period and the volatile latter third of the century.

Characters of every department, from command to medical, can use new rules and character options to deepen their gameplay experience. No matter the composition of your crew, this guide provides the means for you to play through some of the most dramatic and influential periods in Star Trek! 

How does your crew fit into this iconic era and what trailblazing stories of their own will they tell?

The 128-page full-color The 23rd Century Campaign Guide PDF features:

• New player character options, including new options for the Environment phase of lifepath character generation, the new Free Trader career path option, and 12 new career events.
• New optional rules for generating casualties and impacting characters with lingering consequences such as fatigue, scars, and trauma.
• Guidance to help players and gamemasters create amazing missions and campaigns that fit thematically into the 23rd century, and to collaboratively tell stories with your crew that are as evocative and epic as those involving Michael Burnham, James Kirk, Nyota Uhura, Christopher Pike, Mr. Spock, and many others.
• Information about four key periods of the century, along with specific details for each key period concerning the state of the Galaxy, technological advancements, and the major and minor civilizations at play.
• Extensive player advice about playing characters through the various periods in this century, along with sample focuses, traits, and values for players to consider adding to their characters.
• Advice for gamemasters on the themes and tones present in each period of this century, and information on various styles of play and campaign structures that might best fit each period.
