I'm really wanting to play this ttrpg

I've played the game once before and it was some of the most fun I've ever had and I would love to try playing again. If anyone has a game that needs someone or wants to start a game hit me up. I am looking for a free to play game I don't have money to waste on bs right now.

What do you think could be a good new supplement?

I would love an Atlas of The Continent going deep on the geography of The Continent and all their realms going from Kovir & Poviss to the extreme South of Nilfgaard (adding Ofier and Zerrikania as well) and talking about the culture, military organizations, main criminal activity, some local monster (because why not?) and more overall information about places we don't hear as much. Everyone who tried to GM an adventure in anywhere a lit bit far away from Temeria and Redânia probably already felt like it doesn't have enough information. Hell, I'm about to GM a story in Rívia and it already is a bit of a challenge, since we only know Meve and Rob there.

How does the process of consuming a mutagen work in The Witcher TRPG?

I’m running a campaign in The Witcher TRPG, and I have a Witcher in the party who is about to consume a mutagen. However, I’m not entirely sure how the process works in-game.

Does the system or lore describe the steps or methods for consuming a mutagen? Is it ingested like a potion, injected, or something else entirely? Are there specific mechanics, rituals, or effects I should keep in mind when narrating this moment?

Mandela effect

Hey everybody I was 100% sure that there were some official info on how to build a vampire or a dragon PC, but I can't find anything of sorts

Did I dream it? Did I see some unofficial book about it? I would appreciate any type of help

Thanks!

Hilarious 1 Shot or campaign idea: Oops, all furry casters

Basically the players would all be either Vrani and/or Werebbubs and be made up of at least one Mage, Priest, and Druid, and basically have to deal with a lot of different inter and extra social relationships and pressures from within and without the group as they explore the Continent.

A request for help on skill resolution for a new GM

I will be running a short one-shot and I am new to the Witcher system but do have experience with other systems. And this oneshot will be from Witcher: Easy Mode Now here is the confusion and question. How does skill resolution work in the Witcher TRPG. I see in the core rules it's states (Pg 57) "you roll a d10, and add your skill level and appropriate Stat level" and then proceeds to give the example with geralt rolling a 5 and adding swordsmanship (11) and reflex (13) for a total of 29. But then in the Witcher Easy Mode (Pg 12) they state, "To make a skill check, roll a d10 and add the appropriate Skill base listed in the character sheet" and then has the example of Adras playing a lute and rolling a 6 and adding his skill base for performance (14) for a total of 20.

Have I missed something in the easy mode or is there just a disconnect for new GMs in easy mode compared to the core set?

Advice for running a pbp game of witcher?

I'm interested and planning to run a pbp game if I can get enough players and wanted to know if there is any advice for running the game that way.

Is running an all witcher/magic user party viable? What is a common mistake to avoid? Is there any specific advice a gm should have for this?

Question about monster armour.

I've always played in such a way that when you pierce the armor of a monster, e.g. a wyvern, its armor would drop by 1, like in the case of e.g. an aedirn gambeson or other armor. Only recently players told me that their armor shouldn't drop because it's armor like in the case of e.g. the Vran race, where thanks to this race the player has +4 to evaporations, like a dwarf +2, and you can't lower this value in any way. So here's my question: Does a monster's armor drop after piercing evaporations? (or maybe this armor value can only be lowered through some special effects?)

Any new releases for Witcher TRPG

Hey everyone it has been a while since I have been on this subreddit. I saw that they finally launched the Witcher 4 trailer and was wondering if that means we will see the sourcebook for the continent or any of the other books they mentioned a few years back? I know there has been no announcement from RTG or CDPR but at the time that Witcher TRPG was winding down it was stated to be due to Witcher 4 and Witcher TRPG to have consistent lore. I also know that CDPR owns the rights and RTG has other projects on the go but it seemed like they were pretty far into the sourcebook at the time.

I always loved Witcher TRPGs brutal fantasy setting and I would love to see some more books in future.

Question About Monsters

Howdy y'all! Quick question about the monster stats in the Core Rules. I was running a practice combat last night with a griffon, and I had a question. The griffin's statblock states it's Melee skill as +9, but it has a 10 REF. Should I roll attacks with a +9 or a +19?

Context: I'm setting up a Cyberpunk RED game where a Conjunction of the Spheres event has occurred, and folks are gearing up to hunt down monsters with sniper rifles instead of Axii. I know that Witcher doesn't play 1:1 with Cyberpunk RED, and I'll have to do some conversion work, but I've found a lot of elements I can basically make work with very little alteration or change, so I'm interested in seeing what else is out there.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to figure this out, either, so if anyone has a homebrew rules doc, or a suggestion to help, I'm all ears.

Thanks!

Gift from the lady of the lake

Fellow witchers and witcheresses,

I am planning a session where my players will travel across realms, and possibly stubble upon the Lady. She will most probably evaluate their might and spirit. But I was wondering, should their intention be pure (or at least... Honest). What kind of gift could she bestow the adventurers ?

I was thinking something along an item of elder race making. But it might not be "unique" enough, since any master craftsman can do it, provided the coin. A relic ? Might be a bit too much, don't want to spoil the players now would we ?

What would you gift a mage, an elven archer, a dwarven craftsman and a Witcher ?

Axii for persuasion

In the book says that a Witcher can use axii for persuasion, but uses its persuasion statistics and the resisting person uses resist coercion instead of resist magic, so... What's really the point of using axii instead of just the persuasion check?

Question about Parry

I have a question about this text, does the weapon being used to parry take durability damage if the roll fails?

Pickpocketing and burglary

Hi, does the textbook or any official expanssion have any info that could specify making money as rouge/criminal? My character has high stats when it comes to picking locks and pockets - could I just make a roll to spend my night doing crime and generate some money via just rolls or does the system not contain any machics and my DM would need to specifically make a scenario where I could stole sth or pickpocket someone? I guess that there were systems that would specify rules of making rolls to determine how many houses or people u managed to robe, how well it went, how many valuables you stole etc. and I wonder does the Witcher TRPG have something similar

What happens if you don't go to Aretuza?

Without training it sure will be dangerous

Will your mind explode or your body suddenly burn because you have never learned to control magic?

Crafting and prices

Hi, I have a question regarding crafting

In the weapons and armor section of basic textbook price of a long sword is like 160 gold but in its schematic the cost is set as 240 and cost of ingredients/materilas is set as 120. While I understand the value of 120 being just the result of adding prices of every single material piece, what is this 160 and 240 gold exactly? Which prize would my players pay if they wanted to buy the long sword? And what is the second value for?

Also second question: the textbook says that if you pay the craftsman for crafting items for you, you pay them this item's price, so it implies that you can actually pay NPCs for crafting thinga for you. My question is - does it require bringing them a schematic of this thing or shall we assume that the smith of given level also knows the schematics for items of this level (experimental technology excluded)?

Age and skill of higher vampires or dragons

Hey, I have a question because when you create a dragon or a higher vampire from the Witcher Journal add-on, what's the deal with spending skill points depending on the age of the dragon/vampire you're creating? Does it work like skill points or are they just points to be distributed on the principle that they have athletics at 7, they'll use 2 points and it'll be 9. Is it on the principle of skill that from level 3 to 4, 3 points go down?

Runes and Glyphes

Hi everyone, where (which textbook and page) can I find information about runes and glyphes? In the Tome of Chaos, I found info about runewords and glyphwords and also about additional effects given when placing runes with usage of runetable (or something like that) but where can I find info about regular runes? Their prices, creation, locations, effects and all of that? I strongly believe that I looked everywhere multiple times and I still cannot find anything

Guide to the Continent's Professions - Update

Hey there. It was about time I finally got down to edit my most recent homebrew and add two new professions, the Academic and the Sage. I already updated the post, wrote some more about these two professions there, and updated the link which should take you to the v1.2 of the document (please tell if something doesn't work).

I'm always happy for feedback, so don't hold back (and have fun!)

The Witcher e Magic The Gathering (spells)

Hello! Together with some friends, we created a small set of new spells for The Witcher TRPG, inspired by Magic: The Gathering cards. We divided the spells into tiers as they are in the official book: Novice, Journeyman, and Master. However, we also added the concept of Mana and its colors, allowing players to use Mana to cast spells from other planes (MTG), as well as using Mana as a catalyst for common spells from The Witcher.

The entire content is in Brazilian Portuguese since I don't speak English and I'm using a translator to write this message. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful!

Source for Rulebook in Polish?

Anyone know where I can buy this? I checked my usual sources but since it's an American game I get tired of looking for Witcher vs. Wiedzmin.
