Ascension Address: Start of Term

Yes, thank you, quiet please.  QUIET PLEASE.  I know the ride has been lengthy and that two of your new classmates were lost to the Moonbeast en route, but I assure you they will be largely recovered, and I would appreciate your full attention at this time.

Welcome, students, to Professor Abalone’s School of Witchcraft and Miscellany.  Some of you are new to the campus; others arrive with years of thaumaturgical practice behind them.  In either case, you have been admitted to a grand educational institution, and I ask that you demonstrate your regard and respect for its history.  That means full attention in classes, no spellcasting without strict faculty supervision, and avoidance of the East Wing, which is only partially confined to this plane of existence.

At this time, please report to your new dormitories, as assigned by the color-coded creature tattooed on your right forearm.  Dinner is served at six o’clock sharp in the Floating Rathskeller.  I anticipate an exciting year for all of us, students, and please remember to report to Mr. Cruik if at any point you are dead.

Repeal all Dynastic Rules.  Replace “Agent” with “Student” and “Director of Operations” with “Headmaster” throughout the Ruleset.

I know we’ve had plenty of “scam infinite spells to win” Dynasties; I’m aiming here for more a “boarding school that is insanely dangerous for magical reasons” flavor.

So what’s the unscammanle win condition then?

Oh, it’ll be scammable, just ideally not spell-based.

I like the colour scheme.
