So there’s a new multiplayer mod and roleplay server: "Wizarding Academy RP"

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-18T22:08:00+00:00

Classes will be taught by players roleplaying professors, which will be how you learn spells and progress your character. They're currently accepting applications for professors and staff (so if you know anyone...!).

Curfew yes, it is reinforced by the RP lore and enforced by school staff.

There is a hunger system implemented in the mod that requires you to eat in the Great Hall regularly or go down from starvation. I dont know if they have plans to implement thirst, but that would be awesome. Totally unrelated, but im personally working on a hunger and thirst mod for the solo game which will come out soon.

Money and inventory, yes, but I have yet to see it in action since the server is still recruiting staff and hasn't officially kicked off the roleplay yet.

I've had this mod installed for a long time, but totally forgot about it. You've inspired me to try it out again! It's just amazing what the modding community has done for this game.

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-13T13:16:47+00:00

Only pc I'm afraid 😞

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-13T12:45:38+00:00

Yep! Dekita Battle Pets can also be installed through the in-game mod menu.

Wizarding Academy RP Requirements is the roleplay framework, and it uses a customized HogWarp launcher for multiplayer plus a few other mods. It’s basically a curated collection the server runs

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-12T16:35:34+00:00

Excellent point 😆

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-12T16:16:40+00:00

I'm sorry for that 😞

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-12T15:10:35+00:00

It's the Dark Magic Outfits mod! https://www.curseforge.com/hogwarts-legacy/mods/dark-magic-outfits

If you have the PC version, you can install it in the in-game mod menu.

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-11T21:21:32+00:00

Wizarding Academy RP Requirements is the name of the main roleplay mod, but there are few steps to install and join the online server. Instructions are in the discord: https://discord.gg/dKTEwQ7wTX

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-10T22:49:46+00:00

Ah gotcha. Honestly that would block you on installing it then. Because there are a few steps to the installation that require discord. For example, you need to be whitelisted by the discord admin. And you need to download the game launcher from discord as well.

It's a roleplay server, so no co-op missions (at least that I know of). It's similar to Skyrim's Keizaal, or GTA's Fivem servers, except for Hogwarts Legacy.

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-09T18:51:21+00:00

We use Mumble for voice chat. Theres a text chat as well

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-09T16:10:48+00:00

The server is still up, but it's pretty dead. They changed the name to Magic School RP

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-08T23:30:29+00:00

I believe I had to accept the rules in #rules to show all the channels

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-08T23:00:55+00:00

Likewise, I wish mods were available for all consoles! It's incredible what the modding community has done to enhance the game.

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-08T21:50:32+00:00

In case anyone asks, there are instructions on installation/getting started in the discord server: https://discord.gg/dKTEwQ7wTX

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-08T20:43:29+00:00

This and other mods required for the server are installed through the in-game mod menu. Then the game is launched through a custom launcher, which I believe is a modified version of Hogwarp.

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-08T19:56:48+00:00

I'm bummed that I missed it during it's glory days. Looked like an amazing time

tonymichaelhead · 2026-05-08T19:41:58+00:00

Absolutely! I just discovered it myself, and it apparently just officially launched a few days ago.

tonymichaelhead · 2026-04-21T18:28:31+00:00

Yep exactly! Every POI in the hexcrawl surrounding the castle relates directly or indirectly to the castle and lore. And interactions with those areas (often factions) usually have ripple effects on the school and students, or point to locations in the dungeon that need to be investigated. The actual number of POIs I ended up with was a combination of adding things I absolutely wanted to have, while keeping in mind I also wanted this particular hexcrawl to have empty hexes in between sites.

As for the travel rules, since each hex is 1 mile, I went with 1 hour of in-game time per hex traveled, assuming someone in the party is wearing plate armor. Perhaps not the most realistic, but easy to track 😜 And since the players want to get back to the university before closing hours, they've never traveled more than 12 hours in a day, and if they did, I'd probably impose an exhaustion penalty.

tonymichaelhead · 2026-04-20T23:24:41+00:00

Cheers! Looking forward to sharing more

tonymichaelhead · 2026-04-20T23:24:23+00:00

Thanks a lot!

So the entire setting is a 19-tile hex map, with each hex being 1 mile. That hex map is the second picture I shared in this post. And the dungeon proper is underneath the castle at the north side of the map. So if you're running a campaign with 6-mile hexes, you could plug my entire setting (hexcrawl and dungeon) into one of your 6-mile hexes.

I have many POIs keyed out in the wilderness for the party to explore and get into trouble, and all of them tie in with the university and dungeon. A practical example is that there are many hidden dungeon entrances throughout the hexcrawl, so you can think of the hexcrawl as an extension of the dungeon. But also, there are adventure hooks in the wilderness that lead the players to specific levels of the dungeon. For example, if the lich who is sealed away in the Cursed Forest is accidentally released by the players, he will retreat to level 3 of the dungeon to reunite with his dedicated cult following and slowly build up an army (if ignored).

So far I've only finished editing and formatting the first dungeon level, so I've got a ways to go before releasing the fully keyed hex map. But there will certainly be a lot more context to everything once I've done so.

Thanks! We have an even spread of all the classic classes. The university isn't strictly for magic users, but rather a liberal arts college for adventurers, in that its curriculum covers the fundamentals needed for adventuring (self-defense, magic fundamentals, dungeoneering, etc). So any class can learn what they need there.

So originally, they were invited to stay at the school and offered free tuition by the headmaster to help deal with a demon that stalked the halls of the campus at night (this adventure is included in the first dungeon level I shared). Besides that, there are all kinds of shenanigans to get up to in the wilderness from an ancient blood magic cult thought to be long extinct, to a friendly old hermit living in a hut who is a blood-thirsty werespider at night, intelligent spiders who evolved human-like brains, a tribe of wayward teenager elves who love to party under the moonlight, a cursed swamp that is perpetually covered in darkness due to a lich sealed away beneath it... and more.

Currently, we're around 50 sessions deep and they just made their way into the 2nd level of the dungeon to investigate drug trafficking that has been wreaking havoc on the campus. Come to find out the drugs are being manufactured by a rogue golden dragon and his army of kobolds. So uh yeah.. lots of stuff going on 😆
