Actual Play

It's all about having fun

Let's get real - a book is just a book, rules are just rules, and role-playing doesn't happen if it's sitting on the shelf. Sorcerer only happens when people get together and start making real music together.

Interested in playing? Have any questions about it?

Check out the Sorcerer Player Finder service to find people or groups who, surprisingly, are looking for you.

Support is available, whether by email or at the Sorcerer forum at the Forge. I definitely recommend looking at Jonathan Tweet's comments in his Playing Sorcerer essay.
