Time to Make Some Magic

Witchstarter's back this October. 

The popular (and spooky) Witchstarter open call invites creators to launch projects related to Magic & Divination. 

From bespoke tarot decks and goblin cleaners to arcane accessories, eldritch electronics, sorcerous stationery, and so much more, this curated opportunity invites Magic & Divination creators to launch campaigns. 

Reflections on Witchstarter’s Success, and the Community That Made it Possible

We’re delighted to share some of the results of our first-ever open call for Magic & Divination projects.

Use the “Witchstarter” prompt as a springboard for your imagination and showcase your work to a passionate community eager to discover and support fresh ideas.

Past Witchstarter open calls have seen a wide variety of projects, including art pieces, fantasy novels, tarot decks, point-and-click games, and beginner-friendly Tabletop RPGs, along with rat-tailed unicorns, twisted cryptids, and more.  

If you have a Magic and Divination project, October is the perfect time to launch it and be a part of our biggest open call ever.
