The Owl House rpg (fan-game)
A downloadable role-playing game
2024- UPDATE
While I would still consider this a playtest, I have no plans to add a monster catalog or other content. Kind feedback is always appreciated.
This is a free fan made roleplaying game for The Owl House. At less than 50 pages, it gets you to the point and off to adventuring in the Boiling Isles! Play as a member of any coven, from The Emperor's Coven to the Beast Keeping Coven, to the Bad Girl's Coven!
Will you join the troops of the Emperor? Maybe you'll make your own owl house? Or perhaps you'll be too preoccupied with Grom to focus on anything else!
Whatever you do, be yourself and have fun! Us misfits must stick together, after all.
Contains spoilers for The Owl House! Please go support the show!
This game is totally free, but if you would like to request a game or support me as a creator in general, please considering supporting me on https://ko-fi.com/bluubug or looking at my other work here!
Most recent update 12/5- Added Starting Stats section, and more Leveling Up details.

I am new to itch.io and I have a question. How do you play this game, like how do you find the link?
Hey! To play the game all you'd have to do is download it. It is a ttrpg, so not the same as a videogame. I'm sorry for any confusion.
Hello, I ran through a session and my group that the comabt is a bit slow and also alot unnessacry actions and reactions, just notes for future editions
Hey, thank you so much for your feedback! I'll definitely take that into consideration when I go to rewrite it after the season finale. Sorry, it has taken so long for me to reply! University is a beast, but I'm almost done with it!
Hello, I have a request could I possibly use the info you made here to make a digital game version of this and release it to the public and of course you would get credited for it. (If no that's completely fine and have a good day or night).
Hey. as long as I get the credit that's perfectly fine with me! Just so you know I am looking to update it when the series ends. I have a feeling there may be some significant changes coming to the series.
Please let me know if you need more details on any of the math I used, any designs, or whatever. Don't forget to credit me and good luck with your game!
I'm digging this so far and I wanted to give some slight feedback, I'm sure you've probably noticed some of this already but may as well
- The goal part on spells was quite confusing on the first couple read throughs, I'm assuming it's the DC for actually casting the spell but I might be wrong on that.
- When referring to stats it may be better to refer to them in points instead of levels. Just seems like more common terminology and means you don't have two different things you could mean when referring to levels.
- The conditions are a little confusing, most simply say lower level of (Insert stat), and one could assume you mean by one level, but specification in general can be extremely useful.
That's the major stuff I suppose, there's minor stuff like spelling, grammar, and general appearance but that stuff only really matters in the final drafts so long as it's comprehensible. I haven't played it at all so I can't talk about the games balance right now, but I plan on trying to get some friends together or something soon so that'll be fun. All in all I quite like this so far, and I'm sorry if some of this is just a repeat of what someone else has told you.
Thank you so much for your feedback! Please let me know how the play through with your friends go. I have yet to play it through myself, hence it definitely not being the final version.
-Thank you for feedback on the spells! I was worried if the way I explained it was confused so this is especially helpful.
-About the stats, I can see your point on this. There are levels to the stats and spells, but I'm worried if I call the stats points that it may be confusing. That's because number associated with character's stats directly refers to the amount of d8 rolled. However, I do think you have a really good point. I'll change it to something else, but I'm not sure points would work. (If I am misunderstanding you on this point, please let me know!)
-I'll definitely fix that for conditions!
The grammar, spelling, formatting, yes I know that needs some fixing. Do you have any specific feedback for formatting that would be helpful to players? Any sections I should move around?
Again, thank you so much for your feedback Eve the Rat Monarch! I appreciate it a lot!
-Bluu (he/they)
Nothing big stuck out about the formatting, it's just a little rough. Readable, but rough. The picture of Owlbert plopped right in the middle of the Palismans list was a little jarring though. I'm a little busy right now but I know I'll forget if I don't respond now, so I'll give it another look over when I'm free and probably edit this for anything else I notice.
I'll keep you posted if I manage to wrangle my friends into playing, but if you need any play testers on your end I'd be more than willing to fill a spot.
Oh okay, yeah I'll take note of that. I honestly couldn't tell if it was jarring or charming, so that's good to know!
I actually might need more play testers so I'll keep you in mind. I'll follow you, that way it will be easier to contact you if I need play testers!
Alrighty, sounds like a plan. You know where to find me if you need play testers, and I'll keep you updated if I'm able to wrangle my mates into playing.
