Happy to announce that the Death of Rapacus Definitive Edition is now available.
Death of Rapacus is my dark comedy love letter to Ars Magica. It’s is a one shot where you get to enjoy one of the play experiences you can get with Ars Magica — that of petty wizards scheming and arguing with each other about … well pretty much everything like an old married couple. Disagreements escalate to violence. When the player characters wields enough magical power to lay waste to a countryside, this leads to a spectacular climax. There is also a soul devouring demon at the end for good measure.
It’s dark comedy, it’s PvP, it’s GM-less, and it’s super fun and silly.
The 2026 revised and definitive edition takes in feedback from running Death of Rapacus at LinCon the last three years and weeds out things a bit. Most prominently, I’ve simplified duelling with monsters. If you already own the 2023 revised edition, there is no need to purchase the Death of Rapacus Definitive Edition. In fact, I will give you the new edition for free, just ask me for it.
If you played and liked the game, please review and recommend it. I think more people should play it
Death of Rapacus Definitive Edition is available from Thoughtful Dane and RPG Trader.
