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. The comic gets into the basics of how to roll the dice without getting into the details of complications and bonuses. Super Bonuses, which work the same way, include things like, you and all the other kitties get a bonus die, your entire Kitty Krew can shrug off an Owie, you or another Kitty can shrug off an Injury, one foe takes an extra Owie, etc.

Magical Kitties Save the Day is a roleplaying game designed for all-ages. Older players — whether they’re parents, babysitters, teachers, or older siblings — can be the Game Master for kids as young as six-years-old and everyone else who loves kitties. If you’ve been looking for a way to introduce your friends and family to roleplaying games, Magical Kitties is the game you've been looking for. While I can see the desire to not repeat information in more than one place this adventure would be much simpler to run if everything was just presented within the adventure text, with all of the information there when you need to use it. Due to this, I don’t think many GMs would be able to run this adventure on the spot, without any prior prep work, unless their players are willing to put up with a lot of flipping through books during the game. Moving on to the positives, even without the deluxe upgrades the components you get in Magical Kitties Save the Day are excellent. The quality of all of the components is great. All of the written materials are clearly written and concise and the artwork is fabulous. Even with just the base version, the game includes everything you need to play including character sheets, a large number of Kitty Tokens and dice. You’ve never played a roleplaying game, either? Purr-fect! Magical Kitties includes a lot of tools — including a solo play graphic novel so that you can start playing within moments of opening the box! — and guidance for both first-time roleplayers and first-time GMs. Whether you’ve played board games with roleplaying elements before, watched actual play videos, or just think roleplaying games sound like a lot of fun and you want to give them a try, Magical Kitties can be your first step into a larger world.For example, in our last game session, we were exploring M cats humans problem, that his human was worried that he was not going to be a good big brother for his new baby sister. We had finally reached the point where the baby was brought home and I had set up something where the hyperintelligent racoons had put up a device where those affected ignored living things below a certain size, proportional to their own. So, while the boy could hear the baby screaming, the parents could not, and just thought the boy was acting weird. P's solution was to find a knife in the kitchen and try and slit the baby's throat. I don't think that is within the spirit of the game. I shouldn't have to use NPC's to keep him from committing atrocities. When we ended the session for the evening, he was planning to look for nuclear weapons, and given that his cat's magical power is detect, that seems like it should work better than I would like. You are magical kitties. You have humans. The humans have problems. Use your magical powers to solve their problems and save the day!

Despite not being the easiest game I’ve sat down to run, I think I did a good enough job as my family had a blast playing through Magical Kitties Save The Library. We found the system worked very well, especially the degrees of success that included things like success with a complication and bonuses for extra successes. As a GM I really liked the Retaliation rules for Foes and Disasters which made it easier to come up with interesting complications that weren’t always simply “Your Kitty gets an Owie”. I’ve mentioned Kitty Treats a few times. These are an in-game resource that players can earn and spend. Players start each session with a number of treats, New characters always start two but the number of treats that you start a session with can be increased when levelling up. This adventure is presented as a comic book using a choose your own adventure style format that has you flipping all over the book. Flipping and flipping and flipping. There’s a lot of flipping needed to get to the end of the story. Enough that I worry this book won’t hold up to too many players playing through it (though at this point, all four members of my family have gone through it and so far it’s holding up well enough). Since Magical Kitties Save the Day is an all ages game, everyone should be able to join in the play and have fun. But kitties live in Hometowns that are filled with witches, aliens, hyper-intelligent raccoons, and other foes. They make human problems worse, so the kitties need to go on adventures to stop them before that can happen.
