A Beginner’s Guide to Playing Kids on Brooms

Kids on Brooms is a rules-light, narrative-focused tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) set in a world of magic, mystery, and mischief—most often taking place in or around a magical school. Inspired by classic coming-of-age stories and fantasy worlds like Harry Potter, The Magicians, or Sabrina, it lets players step into the robes of young witches and wizards discovering their powers, forming friendships, and facing both magical and emotional challenges.

At its core, Kids on Brooms is all about storytelling. Rather than bogging players down with complex rules and combat systems, it emphasizes collaborative storytelling, character development, and the relationships between the students. It’s built on the same system as Kids on Bikes, another narrative RPG known for small-town supernatural adventures—but with a magical twist.

Who it’s for:

New players: It’s very beginner-friendly, with easy-to-understand mechanics and a strong focus on imagination over math. Fans of magic school stories: Anyone who loves the idea of magical education, enchanted halls, secret duels, and broomstick flights will feel right at home. Roleplay enthusiasts: It’s especially great for players who enjoy character-driven stories, emotions, and relationships over dungeon crawling or combat. Creative groups: Kids on Brooms encourages players to build the world together, from the school name to what kinds of magic exist—making it perfect for imaginative groups.

Whether you’re a longtime RPG player looking for something fresh or brand new to roleplaying, Kids on Brooms offers a unique, emotional, and magical experience with low prep and high payoff
