A Post-Fantasy Worldbuilding Game

A Land Once Magic is a conversational post-fantasy worldbuilding TTRPG by award-winning game designer Viditya Voleti and published by moreblueberries.

With a deck of cards and a group of friends, you will have everything you need to build a world unlike any you have seen before. 

What is a post-fantasy world?

A world of molten metal where society exists only on airships fueled by elemental blood. 

A world of wandering titans that leave warring ecosystems in their wake. 

A world where a theocratic regime rules a frozen sea with spellcraft stolen from unborn gods.

A world that shakes off the dull colors of traditional fantasy and invites the full spectrum of your imagination. 

At a Glance

  • Card-powered - All you need is the book and a deck of standard playing cards
  • Pick-up-and-play - Play begins as soon as you open the book and start talking 
  • GM-less - All players collaboratively share narrative control over the world
  • Replayability - No two games will be alike. Players begin with establishing a palette and choosing touchstones for the world. From there, a variety of prompts and tables help bring their world to life. What do you get when you combine a world that is “stormy, gold, and jagged” with Legally Blonde and Hellboy as touchstones?
