Get Ready for Campfire | The Anywhere, Any Story TTRPG
by Witch Pleas Publishing
Support TTRPGs for classrooms, camping and game nights out.
Be part of the movement that brings tabletop RPGs to classrooms, camping trips and game nights out, with Campfire, the Any Story, Anywhere RPG.
Campfire was designed by award-winning dungeon master and game designer Wojtek Borowicz to be adaptable so that any player, young or old, new or experienced, could turn their ideas into story. Campfire won the "Best Adventure" award at GaelCon 2023, the largest RPG convention in Ireland. Inspired by this success, Wojtek teamed with indie game company Witch Pleas Publishing, and a vision of creating an RPG that could be used by educators, outdoor travels and intro audiences was born.
Campfire is the RPG for any kind of player, telling any story, anywhere.
Campfire is the TTRPG for games on the go, a roleplaying game you can take anywhere and play with anyone. As the Any Story, Anywhere RPG, Campfire has a super-simple rulesystem based on a D10 that lets you create games inspired by your favorite movies, educational materials, or imagination, with no prep required. Its accessible text, written for a 7th grade level, makes it easy for new players to pick up in only a minute or two. Campfire's washable, waterproof game components make it ideal for camping trips, classrooms and pub nights. It's all contained in a durable case, with a stainless steel option, for travel, and comes with five ready-to-play adventures.
For Educators
Campfire is also ideal for educators. It was designed with consultation from RPGs for Teachers, Witch Pleas Publishing's nonprofit dedicated to assisting education through gaming. The value of learning through experience, like through gaming, has been widely validated and explored.
Campfire's flexible rule systems allow teachers to create Campfire stories based on literature or history, and the extremely simple rules mean students as young as 7th grade can learn how to play in only a minute or two. Guidelines on how to create these educational stories and to align them with standards are included in Campfire.
For New Players & DMs
We made Campfire for people who always wanted to try playing or running RPGs but who were scared away by thick rulebooks and tomes of lore. Campfire is ready to pick up and play and was thoroughly playtested with new and veteran players alike. We believe TTRPGs are a treasure for everyone. Its durable, washable components and its simple, adaptable rules mean you can bring a story to life, anywhere, with players of any skill.
