Lightning Wizards Publishing


Niche Games, Weird Systems
There are dozens of big names out there, but now it’s time for something new.
We’re making games with a focus on simple rules and deep systems.
We’re glad you’re here.

Rich homebrew

We love to play games, that’s why we’re in this business. And homebrew is a natural extension of that. Sometimes we’ll go deep on a game that’s captured our attention, other times it’ll be spread out, but all of it is from our passion for games.

New systems

Not only do we make homebrew of our favorite games, we also make brand new systems. Our flagship is the WEIRD system. Designed with modularity in mind, the WEIRD system supports a ton of different genres and playstyles all without needing to learn a whole new system.

Friends welcome

We wouldn’t exist without the support of the community! If you’re looking to playtest some new systems or even just find some games, follow our socials down below.

    A cold wind blows through a desolate field. What once was vibrant life that fed countless people is now overgrown and rotting. A small creature stalks through it, following orders that have long since been rendered meaningless in this dying world. A creature of straw, of cloth, of flesh.

    The truth is out there. It was a common enough phrase before the end of the world. In the final twilight of humanity, people begged for beings from beyond the stars to save them. Creatures the size of little girls started to appear, strange lights in the sky could be seen at night. Are we truly not alone in this universe?
