Cantrips: OSR Magic Supplement

ADD TO WISHLIST >

One first level spell...

That's all you get as a first-level Magic-User on an old-school dungeon run. Fire your one Magic Missile, and you're done for the adventuring day. At least it frees you up to make the pizza run...

Cantrips give you options!

Cantrips are lesser magical invocations mages practice to hone their skills and master new spells. A wizardling casts his cantrips dozens of times every day as he trains. The Cantrips supplement from Print and Play Gamer lets you leverage that practice as you adventure, making even a rookie mage a valuable member of the dungeon party!

What are cantrips?

Cantrips aren't splashy spells, but they're cheap and versatile. Clever young casters will find infinite uses for these little tricks out in the field. Facing down a pack of goblins? Cast a quick Glow on the Fighter's battered longsword to make the little green ones believe it's ancient relic of great power. Need to disrupt an evil priest's dark ritual? Use a Spark to set his infernal prayer book on fire! Want to distract a roomful of revelers while your buddy the Thief empties their pockets? Perform a Parlor Trick to pull a rabbit out of your pointy wizard hat!

Cantrips contains:

This 32-page magical supplement is compatible with Basic/Expert D&DSwords and Wizardry, Labyrinth Lord, and most other OSR systems, and includes:

  • Rules for making cantrips a key part of mastering new Magic-User spells
  • Rules for casting cantrips on adventures
  • Advice to gamemasters on incorporating cantrips into the campaign
  • Complete spell data and rules for 16 original cantrips
  • A separate, one-page Cantrips reference sheet for use at the game table

Does this book contain rules for equivalent cantrips/orisons for divine casters?

Thanks for your interest, RedDice. No, Cantrips are limited to arcane casters, and are woven into the methods and practice by which such casters master their incantations. As such, each cantrip is learned in the process of mastering specific leveled spells; for example, the cantrip Daydream is learned while mastering the spell Sleep. Divine magic should be based on the strength of caster's faith and the spheres of the god's dominion, so divine "cantrips" would be organized very differently than arcane cantrips. I'm working on a parallel system for divine casters that takes these differences into account. Hopefully that book will be available sometime this spring.

Any chance the Divine Caster parallel system you were working on is still in the works or available?

Thanks for asking, Michael. As I was preparing this book for release, it never occurred to me that folks might be interested in a PoD version. I'm not familiar with the process for preparing a PDF book to print-on-demand standards, so there would be some learning curve involved in getting the book ready. And at the moment, I'm pretty focused on getting a few other works-in-progress ready for release as PDFs for download. Perhaps I'll compile several related books into a single omnibus volume for PoD release. In the meantime, if it helps, I should mention that this book is specifically formatted to be printed using the "Booklet" setting in Adobe Reader, so that it neatly folds and staples as a digest-sized book.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
