Sorcerer and... school? Young sorcerers & sorcery scho

[Ron Edwards]

Hello,

In the interest of internet pedantry, here're the previous discussions about this stuff:

I wince as I type - Sorcerer for Harry Potter RPG
Child sorcerers: Amulet of Samarkand

Best,
Ron

Something in Ron's response to the "Harry Potter" thread rings a bell.  I'd find a game like this very interesting, but I think there might be tension between the hard-core exploration of premise on the one hand and the genre expectations on the other.  

Perhaps if one changed the setting significantly, it would lower the expectations of being just like the source material.  Maybe if it were set in a Sword-and-Sorcery world, something like "Lord Greyskull's Academy of Necromancy"?  Then the un-HP events of the game, such as trying to murder one's rivals and pin it on the prefect, would fit in better.
