A Review of the Role Playing Game Supplement Weekly Wonders – Coin Magic

Weekly Wonders – Coin Magic by Alex Riggs and Joshua Zaback is a role playing game supplement published by Necromancers of the Northwest for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. As such, it is covered by the Open Game License and some parts are considered to be Open Game Content as a result.

The supplement is available as a seven-page PDF from DriveThruRPG for $1.49 but was purchased at a reduced price as part of a special bundle. Two pages are the front and rear covers, one the front matter and one the Open Game License.

There are 15 new spells introduced in this supplement, all related to coins in some way.

Weekly Wonders – Coin Magic in Review

The PDF is bookmarked with all sections linked. Navigation is good. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of error. There is a single stock illustration. Presentation is okay.

This supplement contains a range of coin-based spells, all the way from cantrips to level 9. Some spells are definitely better than the others and two, as mentioned, will probably be unpopular with players if used on them.
