Nekomancy
 |
As many have often surmised¸ cats are the dominant species of this world. There is yet another world¸ far from this one¸ where cats walk upright and live in towers devoted to the study of spell craft. All cats have innate magic¸ but few choose to devote their life to studying it. These are the Nekomancers¸ and their world is one of sorcery and wonder.
While some Nekomancers choose to seek political appointment¸ most live in peace and spend their time studying. Research¸ quiet contemplation¸ and preservation of knowledge¸ followed by a hot cup of tea is the daily routine of most students at the Academy of Nekomantic Arts.
Nekomancy is a game for 1-5 players¸ with up to 4 players taking on the role of Feline Adventurers and the 5th taking on the role of Professor of Magic (or PM). Nekomancy can be played with or without a PM¸ though without one¸ it has a maximum of 4 players. For more info on a PM-less game¸ see Options for PM-less Play.
