Harry Potter RPG

[Lord of Chaos]

For the past few weeks, I have been working on a Harry Potter RPG. While a few others already exist, none quite fit what I was looking for in a game. Hogwarts: the Roleplaying Game is a rules-moderate RPG about playing students at Hogwarts - although a GM could adapt it to other schools or even adult life. It eschews long lists of stats and spells in favor of focusing on characters capabilities, what sort of things that person could do, and how well they can do them. All of the rules I can think to include are present, and hopefully in a usable format. I would love to get any feedback, advice or criticism regarding these rules or their presentation. I hope to make a fun game that everyone can enjoy.


There isn't much setting information in this book at the moment. I figure anyone playing it is probably familiar with Harry Potter.


All of the art in the book is taken from Harry Potter chapter images. The cover was found via google image search. If you own the image, please let me know so I can remove it or give you credit at your choice

Good so far, I'm not as experienced at really breaking down and giving feedback on mechanics though.
