Delron Review Compilation
You're a magician, as the title might imply
Another one room game and quite a bit better than the previous one I played by the same author (Lab Rats) but still with more than a few rough edges.

You're a magician, as the title might imply, and you're entertaining kids at a party. Nice idea, and some interesting tricks you can perform (albeit none of them really qualify as 'magic', they're more the sort of things TV magicians tend to perform instead of genuine magic), but in the confines of a single room there's only so much that can be done. It might be worth fleshing this idea out a bit, including a few genuine magic tricks with spell components and the like, but then as the same idea has been used before in an ADRIFT game (The Magic Show), maybe it's best left as a single room game after all to avoid further comparisons.
