Description

An Old School adventure inspired by Jewish folklore and mysticism. The adventure takes places in tight-knit but divided religious community facing the perils of orthodoxy, magic, and fear.
The module will include themes like: Kabbalah, Jewish folktales, the pre-Shoah Eastern Europe, belonging, prejudice & xenophobia, survivor syndrome.
In terms of design, we focused on critical thinking, problem solving, and player agency. The adventure is location-based, revolving around a central mystery, a town, and two dungeons. One of the dungeons is modeled after the Sefirot, and we are quite proud of the design. We have also been very lucky to find some incredibly talented people (read: they draw good, real good) to help make the setting feel real and (hopefully) quite horrifying.
