ALTa personal commission - @anaisisreading’s character Elias as Death. thank you again!
[ID: a black and white, woodcut-style illustration of a Death tarot card featuring a moth man holding a scythe and a lantern. his legs are crossed in a mirror of the Hanged Man’s pose and the background shows a starry sky fading to clouds. visible text reads “XIII” and “Death”]
ALTThe 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.
[ID: a black and white drawing of a hunched creature (the Vortsl Witch) which seems to be made out of gnarled roots. it wears wrapped rags, a necklace of trinkets, and many little pouches.]
ALTso 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!
“If I Were a Lich, Man” on Kickstarter
