Teenage Witchcraft is a natural add-on to Stranger Stuff that, to my mind, creates a straightforward ruleset for magic that is not only completely in the spirit of TinyD6; it perfectly complements the Spell Reader/Spell-Touched Traits, and also gives you the option of replacing those Traits with the new Teenage Witch Trait.

Either way, the rules provided give the GM a lot of leeway in how spells are created, how to determine variable success, unintended consequences (good and bad) of casting spells, and ways to improve your chance of spell success through the use of Spell Foci/Talismans, establishing covens, etc. All in all, the risks of failure can be high, but the book provides straightforward ways to balance it out to provide a reasonable chance of success while providing fodder for good stories.

To be honest, I would use this book for any TinyD6 game where magic is present. This is a "must-own" book in my view.

I love 80s nostalgia and gaming, and Stranger Stuff brings both of those together for a complete retro feel. The fact that it clearly pays homage to a popular TV series (which is on my to-watch list) is an added bonus!

TinyD6 is truly a great system to introduce people to the hobby because it's rules-light and so easy to learn, and the easy, conversational tone of the book draws you in. You can literally build a character in minutes, and all of the information you need to play can easily fit onto an index card. Crestview Hills, the default setting, is very much like the small city I grew up in during the 80s, so for me this is like being able to re-play my youth - only a more interesting version full of magic, aliens, and monsters. ;)

A solid game packed into an attractive, trade paperback-sized book of 122 pages, complete with one adventure to get you started. Well worth checking out!

Full Disclosure: I work for Fat Goblin Games, but I had no involvement whatsoever in the design, writing, editing, or publication of this book, nor did I receive this book for free in exchange for a review.

If you liked the classic 8-bit console games of the late 80s and 90s, The Fungal Kingdom will take you back. The designers very accurately captured the feel of the games in terms of setting, tone, and monsters. The 6 new Heritages designed for the setting are also faithful to the games, and in my mind were the right ones to pick - they are also quite balanced in my view, and playable.

What I really appreciated were the Environmental Traits being grouped in a single section right before the intro adventure (basically rules/conditions to a specific part of the Fungal Kingdom that would affect play, due to the unique environments) - I didn't have to hunt around for information - and the sidebar on the treatment of the "Damsel in Distress" trope that was common to many of those games, but which in our own times really needs to be questioned and re-examined. I also appreciated the effort made to provide some historical background, where it made sense, to explain some of the ruins and other atmospheric details which never would have received any attention in a video game - these are seeds of possible adventures in themselves.

The intro adventure itself takes the players on a grand tour of the Fungal Kingdom and neighbouring territories. It's very similar to a specific video game that inspired this setting, but in that respect it's a perfect homage.

Highly recommended. Can't wait to see more!
