Description
Doikayt is an anthology of tabletop roleplaying games by Jewish game designers about the ways we see our Judaism.
Judaism is built on a community with a shared tradition of dialogue and storytelling, so the idea to create games in conversation with Jewish history, culture, faith, and identity fits right in.
Inside, you will find 12 works chronicling many different aspects of Jewish life: conversations and wrestling matches with God, dinners with dybbuks and dinners at Chinese restaurants on Christmas, tales of golems, Motl, the cantor's son, and the wise men of Chelm, delis, speakeasies, and synagogues.
Whether you are an RPG pro or you've never rolled a die before, and whether you're a rabbi or a gentile, you will find something in Doikayt to read, play, and maybe you'll even learn something along the way.
Doikayt is an anthology of short tabletop roleplaying games about Judaism or Jewish themes, written and illustrated by Jews. It was organized by JR Goldberg and Riley Rethal, featuring 10+ Jewish tabletop games by incredible Jewish designers.
In Yiddish, the word doikayt translates to “hereness”. While hereness can be interpreted in many ways, we take it to mean that a Jewish person’s ideology, practices and traditions are a product of their environment, and it is these differences in background and knowledge from sources around the world that make the Jewish people so stalwart.
