While definitely an interesting read with incredible artwork, Welcome to Scarthey is a lackluster document for this kind of game. There is history of the school(nice enough), Faculty Members(but with only about a paragraph about them), and overviews of their extra-curriculars/games. Cackleball sounded like an awesome game, but when I came up to it in the document, it was a simple description-no rules and no way to implement it at a table. Furthermore, there are no tips and tricks on actually running a game in such a setting. "Players will choose their subjects of study..."; That's great and all, but what kinds of things can a Game Master do to keep it engaging and immersive? If you already have an idea as to how you want to run a Magical University, then this is a good document to augment that. However, it is not suited to someone who wants to run a game like this but has no idea where to start.

Thank you so much for the review. I highly recommend you check out our Anaximander's Adventuring Studies, which is set in Scarthey and runs through the character's first three years at the university (levels 1-3). It's for Pathfinder though, which might not be so helpful, but there are many ideas on how to run adventures in a magical university within its pages.
