How's the gameplay?: Cantrip runs on the Belonging Outside Belonging system, meaning characters are rewarded for using Weak moves (Moves that actively complicate plots) and can use rewards from weak moves on Strong moves (moves that help move the plot forward), The current month of the year also gives players Weak and Strong moves to use. Character playbooks determine their Skills, Pets, Friendships, looks, and general vibes, as an example the Hedge is a mycologist who has spooky themed pets, implements, and skills. The game is very simple and easy to pick up and play, and may appeal to younger players due to its simplicity, most importantly: the game does not require a GM! which is always a plus
What's the setting (If any) like?: Cantrip is set within a magical witchy school, full of magic and mystique, you define the school's specifics though!

Malleability: Witchy School is a fairly generic concept, you can have fun with it!

Cantrip is a cute game, its chill and laid back nature is sure to make you love it
