Topic: Something Wicked, Something Wondrous

[Dirich]

I've seen NicholasHMCaldwell mention "Something Wicked, Something Wondrous" in some 2018 post.
It appears to be something that will introduce a talent to increase the limit of known spell by 5, add cone spells, add Witch and Warlock.
It seems really exciting but I can't find anything more recent, and I can't find anything in the official website Catalog section.

Is this a dead project? Something that only existed for a previous version of Harp? Something still in development?

This forum tends to be slow in general. Writing and designing books is an even longer process than just waiting for a general reply here. The written part could all be done, and it might just need layout of what picture goes where. Or it could be being reviewed. Regardless of the wait, I'm happy that new supplement books are being released, regardless of how long it takes.

Hi folks, just bumping this post to see if there is a future for this title.

Since this product is mentioned in both HARP Subterfuge and HARP Beyond the Veil, what are the chances this is finally going to see the light of day?

I was just reading Beyond the Veil and noticed a Paladin spell (p99) called "Banish Demon."  It is available from the Demonologist Circle, Paladin Sphere, Vivamancer circle and the Warlock/Witch Sphere.  I feel like ICE is messing with me.

Every few days I check the boards (or Drive Thru RPG) in the hopes of finding some something wicked...  I recently picked up the Subterfuge book.  It manages to introduce a lot of new material and choices while maintaining balance with the rest of the game.  Anyway, I remain hopeful that something wicked will come out and have the same level of quality.

Fingers crossed.

Banish Demon was written initially as part of HARP Something Wicked, Something Wondrous. It was needed in HARP Beyond the Veil so I added it to the Paladin sphere when I was editing Beyond The Veil. In the same way the Undead, Demons and Elementals chapters were initially written as part of Something Wicked, Something Wondrous, but proved too useful for HARP Bestiary so were included there. As for Something Wicked, Something Wondrous, see the January 2025 Briefing for status.

Best wishes,
