MAGICAL KITTIES SAVE THE DAY!

You are CUTE, you are CUNNING, you are FIERCE … and it’s time to SAVE THE DAY!

Every magical kitty has a human. Every human has a problem. In the Magical Kitties Save the Day RPG, you're a magical kitty who uses your special power to solve problems and save the day. But kitties live in hometowns that are filled with witches, aliens, hyper-intelligent raccoons, and other foes. They make human problems worse and are a real pain in your tail, so kitties go on adventures to stop them! 

WHAT IS MAGICAL KITTIES SAVE THE DAY?

Magical Kitties Save the Day is the new all-ages roleplaying game that SOLD OUT in a matter of months after its original release in January. Now Atlas Games is bringing it back this summer as a second printing. It comes as a big boxed set packed full of goodies, like a set of six translucent blue dice, 48 double-sided Kitty Treat tokens, and a pad of 50 full-color character sheets. Add the core Rulebook, the River City hometown and poster map, and a graphic novel that introduces the game system, and you've got a recipe for some very happy kitties – and happy kiddies, too!


Magical Kitties Save the Day has it all:

⭐ It's a roleplaying game designed for all ages to enjoy, that's purr-fect as an introduction to the hobby.

⭐ The elegantly simple rules system puts the emphasis on storytelling.

⭐ Its setting and characters are already familiar to players, who love them from the start.

 

THE PURR-FECT INTRO TO ROLEPLAYING!

If you’ve been looking for a way to introduce your friends and family to roleplaying games, Magical Kitties is the perfect game to do it! When you open the box, sitting right on top is The Big Adventure, a solo-play graphic novel adventure. This action-packed comic book is also a full scenario. Within moments, you’ll create your magical kitty and go on an amazing adventure that will also teach you how to play the game.

After that, older players can game master for kids as young as six years old (and everyone else who loves kitties). Magical Kitties also includes tools and guidance for kids to start running it on their own, as their first GMing experience!

 

HOW TO BE A MAGICAL KITTY

Playing Magical Kitties is easy! You have 3 attributes – Cute, Cunning, and Fierce. You also have a Talent, a Flaw, and a Magical Power. When your kitty is trying to do something difficult, you’ll build a pool of six-sided dice with:

⭐ Dice equal to Cute, Cunning, or Fierce (whichever one you’re using)

⭐ An extra die if you’re using your Talent

⭐ Two extra dice if you’re using your Magical Power

 

The GM sets a difficulty from 3 to 6, and then you roll your dice pool. Each die that rolls equal to or higher than the difficulty is a success. The number of successes you rolled determines the outcome:

In Magical Kitties Save the Day, it’s not just about whether or not you succeed; It’s about HOW you succeed. The complications and bonuses generated by rolls drive the action forward in unexpected and exciting ways, as you discover the story together.

Magical Kitties emphasizes the fun of roleplaying without sacrificing the rules:

⭐ Character generation takes just 5 minutes.

⭐ The dice are always in the players' hands, not the GM's.

⭐ Players get Kitty Treats that let them change the story. You earn Kitty Treats by roleplaying your Flaw.

No one ever dies in Magical Kitties. If you take too many Owies, you're just knocked out or “incapacitated” for the scene.

⭐ You get XP when you fail a roll. And for saving the day, of course!
