WHAT IS WITCH GIRLS ADVENTURES?
Witch Girls Adventures is a role-playing game book based on the award winning comic book “Witch Girls Adventures”
In the world of “Witch girls Adventures” , characters have adventures in both the “real” and magical world. They can fly through the air on brooms. Learn to control time and space at one of the many schools of magic around the world and turn people into frogs.
But everything isn’t all wands and potions. Being a “Witch-girl” can be dangerous and hiding your power from most of the world isn't as easy as it sounds. And did we mention the home work they give in Conjuration Class?
Designed for aimed at girls it allows players to create their very own Witch to star as the main character in Adventures limited only by the imaginations of those involved and the simple rules found in this book.
No boards, no expensive video game system need. Just some dice, paper and pencils and friends.
In the world of Witch Girls power comes in all shapes and sizes. so be nice… be a toad!
