You’ve got a blind date with destiny, and it looks like she’s ordered the lobster.
Magic in most RPGs--and most fiction, for that matter--is typically based on Old World or “exotic” magical traditions. That’s fine for pre-colonial games, but games set in America should feature magic that draws on American superstition, folk magic, and even pop culture. If you’ve ever wanted to play a Hoodoo Man or Elvismancer, this panel is for you.
