The Arcanist Cookbook

A solo-play spell-building game, in which you add spells, hexes, potions, and curses to a witch's recipe book in order to help them defeat the dangerous, colonizing, patriarchal villagers. A hack of 1971's The Anarchist Cookbook by William Powell, in which the author provided recipes intended to help the general populace fight against fascist and capitalist threats.

Created for the Solovember Jam!

This game was written and designed over a 4-day period while on vacation in what is now called Orlando, Florida, land that was historically home to the Mayaca-Jororo peoples. 

cw: colonialism, implied violence against nature, animals, and witches by the villagers; fed-up witches getting revenge; insults.
