- Player Survey on Adding Spell Scrolls to the Base Game - 5 June 2026
Update June 11th, 2026: Thank you all so much for participating in the survey and openly sharing your feedback. If you are interested in the survey results and the actions I took in response. Please refer to this post for more information. Original Post: I have received a lot of feedback on the recently released Spellcraft & Wizardry expansion. I would have happily reduced the scope of the magic expansion and made it part of the base game if I had correctly anticipated your feedback. Unfortunately, this was not the case. But I take your feedback very seriously and would like to provide you with a possible solution. For this reason I have created a super short survey to evaluate your thoughts on the solution I have proposed below: The only feasible solution I can offer at this point is adding spell scrolls and scroll crafting to the base game. With this, you would have access to all spel…
