The Vortsl Witch for Beyond the Pale (forthcoming from Yochai Gal)

“an excellent tunneler that hides underground near water. wiggles tiny fronds in the air as lures. above-ground, appears vaguely humanoid with the face of a rotted tree stump. will exchange rare minerals for a ‘fresh corpse’ of any kind. easily takes offense, especially if offered anything more than a few days dead.”

a character design from an upcoming Jewish TTRPG i’m very excited about! this is a unique creation by the game designer, but many of the other characters and creatures are based in Jewish folklore.

so thrilled to be able to announce this incredible box set of darkly funny Jewish TTRPG games - written & designed by Lucian Kahn (Visigoths vs. Mall Goths) and illustrated by yours truly! Jewish liches taking on antisemitic fantasy tropes, a chaotic “vampire bat” mitzvah, and the drinking songs of a bootlegging bubbe in 1930s New York - there’s something here for everyone. funded in under 2 hours, but there’s still plenty of time for you to get a copy!
