A Familiar Problem is a one-page RPG of magical familiars on a mission! Created by Marisha Ray (Critical Role) and designed by Grant Howitt (Honey Heist), this game puts you in the role of animal familiars, who take on a quest while their adventuring party is away. Can these scrappy and stressed out familiars make a difference, in their own small way, and prove they’re up for adventure? Only your chaotic gameplay will tell.
