Why would you let a player pick what school of magic their wizard studied, when you can have them roll on a neat table instead? Here is the neat table.

Have I missed any wizardly traditions? Tell me and I'll add them. Thanks to everyone who creates the many wonderful classes for GLOG!

*) These classes have some mechanics that differentiate them from base GLOG wizards, but they are close enough and/or interesting enough to have them here, IMHO.
**) These classes have somewhat scattered write-ups. Have a look here.
***) These science fantasy wizards use cyber-thaumic implants described here instead of levelling up.

I made a "gish" a while ago, but quite frankly the sword mage posted is just better.
ReplyDeleteHey, did someone else write a Truena- oh, that was me. At any rate, I have a Heptamancer out that I'm quite fond of
ReplyDeleteYour Truenamer is very interesting, I just have no idea how well will it work in play. :)
DeleteI also like the Heptamancer. I will add them to the list.
It's worked spectacularly so far. Having a physical bag at the table makes a big difference. If they can manage two or more words describing an effect, it just happens. If its just one, or its a big effect, then over-/under-shoot as much as you like. The more precise their pseudospell, the better the results.
DeleteNeat! BTW, do you have it on your blog? I only found it on GitHub, I cloud link the original blog entry.

DeleteLooks like the Github link got moved as well.
I made a few GLOG Wizards:
ReplyDeleteBone Wizard
Meat Mage
Cool, thanks!
DeleteJust made a wizard, the garbage wizard.
ReplyDeletehttps://sevendeadlydungeons.blogspot.com/2019/03/glog-garbage-wizard.html
Thanks!
Deletehttps://meanderingbanter.blogspot.com/2019/06/narcomancer-beeromancer.html two more for the list!
ReplyDeleteCool!
DeleteOne more for the list:
ReplyDeletehttps://thethingswedoforxp.blogspot.com/2019/07/glog-wizard-pyromancer.html
Glad you liked the Gun-Witch. This list'll keep me busy for a while.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it got really big. :)
DeleteI made a new school, probably belongs in the second list because of the dice thing?
ReplyDeletehttps://sevendeadlydungeons.blogspot.com/2020/02/travelling-tavern-also-gastropomancers.html
Thanks! Snail wizards sound fun.
DeleteI wrote what was supposed to be a Raven Wizard but ended up becoming something else. It uses a variation of MD and a slightly reworked system of Mishaps and Dooms, so it probably belongs on the second list.
ReplyDeletehttps://thenamelessage.blogspot.com/2020/08/glog-class-raven-master.html
Quite interesting, thanks!
DeleteAnother for the second list! Official name is Invoker, but if that would clash, Relicseeker or ____seeker would work
ReplyDeletehttps://pilgrimtemple.blogspot.com/2021/07/glog-class-invoker.html
Thanks, added. :)
DeleteMartian Robo Wizard is now here: https://darkwormcolt.wordpress.com/2019/07/09/martian-robo-wizard-or-spell-robot-glog-class/
ReplyDeleteThank thee!
DeleteWe're getting closer and closer to 200 wizard schools, now.
Another handful of wizards added, if you know of more, please let me know!
ReplyDeleteAlso we're now missing only wizard schools starting with the letters K, V, Y and Z to complete the alphabet, so get to it.
Only V, Y a Z now!
DeleteAnd another: https://thenamelessage.blogspot.com/2022/12/glog-class-scion-of-first-storm.html
ReplyDeleteIt is some kind of lightning/wind wizard sorcerer elementalist with a storm as a heart that uses Storm Dice instead of Magic Dice (which are the same but not really).
Nice, thanks!
DeleteHedge wizard: not a great wizard, not a sage, nor a diabolical pawn in a great game of some sort. He might, if you feed him, show you some tricks, and a few pints make him losen up enough to cast something hint useful (might be helpful in clearing the stump out of the field you have been ignoring!). Don't exp CT much, you won't be disappointed. But, give him a room, a bath, a chance to clean his clothes, and some food (or even a little extra!) and he might actually be useful....disintegrate those holders messing up your field, orthrow some water around, maybe you get a little pond dam you can use to power a grindstone and become rich by building and running a mill!
ReplyDeleteNot going to change history, often harboring misc. vermin, but some turn out to be decent folk if you a nice enough to them.
