Thieves of the Tome / We Stole a Tome... / Lawrenceville RPG Day

Your crew broke into a magical library to steal power back from an oligarchy that's been hoarding it. The good news: it worked. The bad news: none of you understand the magic you just walked out with.

We Stole Tomes and We Don't Know What We're Doing! is a Thieves of the Tome one-shot for 3–5 players — an acid-punk heist comedy where your spells come from real books, and their effects are anyone's guess until you cast them.

Characters and spells built together at the table, not before it
Magic drawn from physical books players bring to the session
Acid-punk chaos with unpredictable, often hilarious results
Built for a table that leans into improv and going with it. Succeed and Fail forward together!

The tomes are stolen. What they do: still up for debate.

Bring one physical book from your own shelf with at least 7 clearly marked chapters or sections — it becomes part of the crew's magic at the table. No RPG experience needed; everything else is built together during the session.
