Magi-Knights Awakening logo and characters

MAGI-KNIGHTS AWAKENING is a tabletop roleplaying game with rules based on the 5th Edition SRD. The theme and mechanics were heavily inspired by Magical Girl and Sentai shows and video games, especially those that made their debut in the 1990s.

Magi-Knights Awakening Table of Contents

In this core rulebook you will find the following:

  • A unique take on the 5e system in a modern 1990s setting, with gameplay broken down into School, Free Time, Investigation, and Patrol Phases.
  • Rules for players to create magical heroes and for the Magic Keeper (GM) to create their Herald, a mysterious mentor from another dimension.
  • Team mechanics including Statistic Generation, Squadron Combinations, Formations, and Convincing Arguments to help enemies turn away from evil!
  • Innovative ways to gain Social Points with other players and NPCs that give Bond Abilities to help characters succeed in difficult situations.
  • An expanded attrition system which includes mechanics for Stress, Exhaustion, and tracking a character’s Corruption and Trauma Points.
  • Statistic blocks for Cthulhu mythos-inspired enemies and detailed rules on how to create your own.
  • A hand drawn map of Lapis City, labeled locations with named NPCs, and a plethora of gorgeous anime artwork from artists all over the world!

REVIEWS

Dice Breaker: Matt Jarvis

Geek Native: Andrew Girdwood

"This book is packed with beautiful illustrations and imaginative mechanics that evoke the wonder and excitement of magical girls. Character creation contains flavor for a variety of playstyles, and this resource contains everything a table might need to get started in this colorful world." —Brooke Whitney, DriveThruRPG 

"Everything about it, from the school/heroism balance, juggling identities, the goofy mascot creatures, the magical arsenals and named power attacks. Everything here just oozes with the Magical Girl/Sentai genre." —Colby Whittaker, The Hagiologist

"One of my favorite parts of Magi-Knights was that it creates a set of mechanics revolving around slice-of-life or downtime activities and maintaining relationships that affect your Knight abilities. It has RP built into the mechanics so that it isn’t going to just be fighting monsters or staying in Knight form all the time." —Steph C, TTRPGkids

This looks amazing! 5e anime style at its finest, surely. If you are currently handing out review copies, I would love to feature it in my Youtube channel; is there an email where I can contact you?

Known Issue: Missing E-Range for Soul Guns on PDF

We humbly apologize, but it seems we forgot to put the "E-Range" of Soul Guns in Table 3-5!
This was in the original document but was missed when we began the initial layout design phase. This will be updated in a future PDF (along with any additional changes that will be made, and all changes will be reflected in the final, printed submission).

These should be:
-- HG: E-Range 20 ft
-- SMG: E-Range 30 ft
-- ASR: E-Range 40 ft
-- DMR: E-Range 80 ft
-- STG: E-Range 15 ft
-- LMG: E-Range 50 ft
-- SDA: E-Range 20 ft

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
