Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos | Magic School Adventure
Unravel magical mysteries, forge rivalries and friendships, and uncover secrets at Strixhaven—where every class could be your last!
About the adventure
A magical world boasts many places where students can study magic and many sages who take eager learners under their wings. But being accepted to Strixhaven University is a special honor, the dream of many young students. Strixhaven is a place of enlightenment and learning, and both its graduates and its delegates are typically welcomed and respected wherever they go. Founded seven centuries ago by five ancient dragons, Strixhaven is the premier institution of magical learning, drawing promising young mages from all over. Each equipped with its own campus and faculty, Strixhaven’s five colleges—summarized in the Colleges of Strixhaven table—cover a vast array of academic and magical specialties. As a Strixhaven student, you start with a well-rounded education in a rigorous first-year program. In your second year, you choose your preferred specialty at one of the five colleges. You can also partake in a vibrant campus life, with plenty of clubs and other activities. You might even play on one of Strixhaven’s prestigious Mage Tower teams and bask in the adoration of cheering crowds!

How J.R. Liggans creates a safe table
Expect a thorough session 0 in which we will discuss the rules, boundaries, and expectations for the campaign. We will use the "lines and veils" method for establishing player boundaries in play, and players are always encouraged to step out for a break when something in the game is distressing them.
