Misfits and Magic Live at GenCon 2022 is a live show that was hosted at GenCon on the 6th of August 2022. It takes place in the world of Misfits and Magic but follows a different group of students, the Magical Miscreants, four students sorted into House Aqrabus. The game mechanics utilize the Kids on Brooms system with a homebrew of adding an extra d6 when using "common fucking sense." There is also a semantic difference in that "adversity" tokens are now called "adversary" tokens.
Recap[]
"The Gowpenny Academy of Arcane Arts: a school, no, an instutution; a pillar of society that has undergone an existential shift in the last year. A truth has shaken a magical society to its core. Mages aren't born. They're taught. Neither blood nor breeding separates the Wizarding community from the NAMP (Non-Active Magical Person)'s world. It's just a matter of who you deign to teach these abilites to. So then it all comes back to Gowpenny. Its crest: two hands together, guarding the light of magic, safe against the darkness; light that has been cast away from the world for too long. Until this term. Until the pilot program: four American students brought in to prove a point, and despite the overwhelming odds, thriving in this world."
But this isn't their story.
"They're not even on campus right now. And none of you know where they are, and none of you care. So instead we will move across the grounds, and look at a tall, gothic spire at the far end of the castle. It is a crisp but bright day in early spring. But as we push through the window of Aqarbus Tower adorned with green banners emblazoned with a shiny, black, fluttering scorpion in the breeze. we see students looking out, nay, brooding on a dismally stormy gloom. This is a magical vista meant to inspire the villainy of a house destined for terrible feats of sorcery. The windows rustle with the roll of illusory thunder, and the students gathered here in the dank, but decadently appointed common area, hardly flinch, so enured are they against the drafts and the dread. One might feel sorry for those unfortunate enough youths whom the Confirmation Dais consign to this place. But pity is simple, and this is all they've ever known. That is until the pilot program showed up with their phones, and their internet, and their mukbangs, and everything. Everything is beginning to change, even here, and not even the most elite and entrenched amongst house Aqrabus are immune." ― GM, Aabria Iyengar
