Trick's Tales

This is a session write up and review of the work-in-progress GM-full game Seven Part Pact by Jay Dragon . Jay describes it thusly, " The seven greatest wizards in the world convene upon the isles of Isha, their powers aligned in the service of an ancient Pact. Each governs their Domain, wielding power beyond comprehension, seeking to balance the responsibilities of their power with their selfish heart's desire. Will these wizards cooperate to hold Isha together, or will their petty thoughtlessness bring about the destruction of their homes? " But I would describe it as a roleplaying game about wizards, worldbuilding, power, masculinity, and loneliness. It's a game for GMs. All GMs. 3-7 GMs, in fact. This is the Seven Part Pact, an extremely complicated game about extremely complicated men. Collage by me. Wizard (2025)

Some of my blog is directed at people like me who exist in the indie dev or OSR scenes, but I want to address Dungeons & Dragons for a bit. This is Part 1 of the Play Something Else (If You Want) series. Check out Part 2 here .
