Magecrammer™ is a new and exciting roleplaying game from Druids of the Shore™ that fuses the genres of fantasy and science fiction into a new kind of play experience unlike anything else you've ever seen (since 1989). Players take on the role of Crammers™, traversing the dangerous space lanes in search of adventure, glory, and their primary source of fuel...wizards! Sound exciting? Then grab hold of the wheel (and a wizard) and set out on a wild adventure! Welcome to Magecrammer™! Magecrammer™ is a game for 3 to 5 players, and requires very little to play -- just some friends, paper, pencils, a tabletop, the Magecrammer™ boxed set, chairs (or very comfortable pillows, depending on preference), a source of light, a fifth grade reading level, free time, a calculator, at least one opposable thumb (for grabbing things), a rudimentary understanding of seafaring, a map of the Universe (sold separately), official Magecrammer™ miniatures, a grasp of thermodynamics, a belief in the theory of evolution, a sextant, a Certificate of Magecrammer™ Playability confirming you've completed our mandatory two-year Magecrammer™ Associates Training Program, and dice.
We also recommend food and beverages, but these are not necessary in order to be able to play.

| What People are Saying...
"The first and original Mage-Cramming™ supplement. I love it, and have been using it for years. Accept no substitutes!" Award-winning Legend of the 5 Rings & Dragonlance author.
"Magecrammer™ is a breath of fresh air for a long-stale campaign setting. I had a D&D-heroes-in-space game ages ago, and though it was a lot of fun, things could really grind to a halt if your mage went down in battle. Fortunately, Magecrammer™ creates a brilliant fix for that, and now even a TPK (total party kill) is just more fuel for the fire!"
Head of GMSarli Games, editor for Star Wars RPG Saga Editon
"I don't see how these guys can hope to compete with the originality and creativity of the World of Whygax. Dave D'Arneson must be rolling in his grave!"

The Raspberry Jam Recipe is NOT a registered trademark of The Secret DM™ or any of his associates, but it is a very delicious recipe, and very easy to make, too.
All views expressed on this website are the genuine opinions of the individuals named, including Jeff Grubb. Yes -- THAT Jeff Grubb. Many thanks to everyone who contributed a quote -- you're all liars now and I hope you can live with that.
The Druids of the Shore™ and Magecrammer™ web project could not have been possible without a great deal of help from a LOT of contributors. I will obviously not name any of them though, so I can take sole credit for everything.
Many, many thanks to Todd Shearer, who provided the artwork for the box cover and the idea of the meatgrinder for the logo, as well as the Druids of the Shore™ logo.
Also a big thank you to Kristina Herbst, who designed the Magecrammer™ logo and also provided the art for the Miniature Giant Space Hamster -- and thanks to her husband, Wes, for helping to facilitate that work. Visit their miniature company Secret Skeleton Miniatures on FB and BUY SOME MINIS!
I'd also like to thank Rob Antonishen and Ravells of www.cartographersguild.com, who provided the artwork for the Käenu and the TARDIS, respectively. Rob also provided the "Hot Desert Planet" logo art as well.
A thank you also to Tilt at www.cartographersguild.com, who made both the "REAL Magic: The Happening" and the "Gothicland" logos.
A tremendous thank you to 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming (and Robert Thomson) as well for providing a quote and the "Apocalypso Robots™" product name!
Thank you to Owen K.C. Stephens for allowing me the last minute, after-April-Fool's-Day inclusion of his quote.
Also a thank you to David Shepheard, aka Big Mac, aka Giant Space Hamster (Miniature) and the rest of the folks at The Piazza -- this website is dedicated to you guys...keep up the phenomenal work!
Special thanks to Jeff Easley and Jeff Grubb, for their work on the original Spelljammer game, on which Magecrammer is based. This whole website is my way of paying homage to such a fantastic product, and proof that your genius and creativity inspires the rest of us to dream of strange and far-off worlds.
A big thank you to Mike Weem, as well -- whose original spoof of a 4e version of Spelljammer inspired me to create "Magecrammer".
And a thank you to John Reyst, creator of the Pathfinder System Reference Document (http://www.d20pfsrd.com), without whom I never would've figured out HOW Google Sites worked. Don't judge me.
I'd also like to take a moment to share a thank you with The Secret DM™, without whom none of this would've been possible. Thank you, me.
And of course thank you to anyone and everyone who let me bounce ideas off them as I was putting this website together -- it was a lot of hard work, but it was definitely a lot of fun -- and I owe you all something...at the very least, a Raspberry Jam Recipe.
