The Witch is Dead

The tone is comedic and mischievous rather than bleak, making it a crowd‑pleaser for mixed‑experience groups. Resolution is ultra‑simple: roll a small pool of d6s based on what your familiar is good at; high results succeed, low results complicate in funny or perilous ways.

Theme and Setting

Characters are classless and defined by animal type, a knack or two, and a small list of trouble‑making spell prompts. There’s no tactical grid, initiative mini‑game, or heavy bookkeeping—just clear fictional positioning, quick rulings, and consequences that keep the caper moving.

How Play Feels

The GM frames scenes, escalates complications, and rewards bold ideas; tables often use clocks or simple tracks if they want a bit more structure without adding crunch. It embraces chaos as the engine of play: being small, clever animals forces creative problem‑solving, slapstick risk, and delightful failures.
