Level Up Your Wizard
Magic is a number that goes up!
GREETINGS, ADVENTURER!
Today’s Quest: How leveled up can you get your wizard? After you find out, join the Table Talk for a discussion on fantasy games, and share the magic of Adventure Snack with your pals for a prize.
First time here? Adventure Snack is a game series I email to subscribers. Play quests for free, twice a month, and turn your inbox into an adventure!
THIS IS YOUR QUEST…
⏳ Estimated Playtime: 5-10 minutes
There’s a gnawing in your stomach. A deep hunger – not for food, not for love, and certainly not for justice. Your greatest need in the world is for a number on a computer screen to increase.
Your wizard is at the lowest possible level. Level 1. How sad. How shocking! How pathetic. And you dare call yourself “gamer?”
This cannot stand. You must act now! Not only on behalf of your wizard, but for your own self-respect!
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TO JOIN THE PARTY!
You know someone who’ll love Adventure Snack.
Your significant other.
Your best friend.
Your Top 8 on MySpace.
Your cool co-worker who wears obscure band t-shirts on Zoom.
Your nerdy little cousin who lives in the boonies where they don’t have a game store and the library got rid of all the D&D books because one parent complained they’re “chock full of Satan.”
Your gastroenterologist, who could use a laugh, quite frankly.
Share Adventure Snack with them! They’ll be grateful to have new adventures in their inbox every month, and you’ll be excited to have someone to play alongside.
Plus, I’m giving prizes to players who refer new adventurers from now until October 5th! If we reach 2,500 players, we’re gonna celebrate with a live game jam, where we’ll all make a game together! More details here. We’re currently at 2,158 players. Just 348 until we reach the goal and every new player helps.
LET’S CHAT!
When your quest is complete, it’s time to debrief. Join your fellow adventurers at the virtual game table we call the comments section, assuming your wizard is at a high enough level for in-depth conversation.
Discuss one (or all) of today’s topics in the comments:
🧙♂️ What is your wizard’s name and level?
🕹️ Have you ever become obsessed with a game? I definitely got too into Slay the Spire, where I’d wake up and be like, “Do I really need to eat breakfast? Or sleep? Couldn’t that be Spire Time?” I played it for 20 hours, beat it (sort of), then said this has to stop. But I really want to play Marvel Snap, which I hear is twice as addicting, lol.
⚔️ What’s your favorite fantasy character class? Wizard? Fighter? Bard? Paladin, anyone?
✨ Do you believe in magic? Like, for real. Not The Lovin’ Spoonful song. Or the McDonald’s jingle.
I am currently obsessed with Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Nintendo Switch), Secret Hitler (board game), and GardenScapes (iPhone). Lol!
My wizard Shazbot reached level 5 before we both became exhausted. I play way too much Hearthstone, so I suppose I am obsessed with that, but I love the Diablo games, and I used to love City of Villains/City of Heroes and cannot understand why there isn’t a game like that today.
Are usually play wizard/sorcerer whenever that’s an option, though I often also play druids/healers. It kind of depends on the game and if I’m alone or I have a team. Magic users can be very squishy so I often play a non-magical class first to learn the ropes and then choose the wizard.
And I forgot, were there are other questions? 🤪
