still figuring out if insurance will cover it, but in the meantime it'd mean the world if you'd consider:

1. picking up my latest game "The Vatican Stole the Menorah and We're Going to Steal Back": jumpgategames.itch.io/tvstmawgtsib

Hey, my friend and an amazing game designer, Jess Levine, just had her car wrecked overnight. If any of you can help her out then please do so, and get some of her excellent games whilst you're doing so!

Buy Jess' games and help her deal with some nightmarish car problems. You get to enjoy some cool times with your friends AND Jess gets to fix her car with less headache. Win-win.

A perfect party game for your Jewish Christmas and/or goyish New Year party. No prep needed—we've got full tables of bits.

We've also got four dreidel-based attributes:

GREAT - Bravery, skill, prowess
MIRACLE - Luck, divine favor
HAPPENED - Forethought, planning
THERE! - Kludging, improvisation

if you’re a fan of I Have the High Ground, satah’s design consulting was absolutely critical to making that game what it is

if you’re looking for another 2-player TTRPG to try, go check out a new game from that very same designer!!!

satah is one of my fav designers out there and blackout is SUCH a cool game, i am SO glad it’s out and you should absolutely go get it immediately.

as always, satah’s ability to squeeze incredibly thematic TTRPG mechanics out of other mediums is unparalleled. blackout is SO clever & cool.
blackout is an (almost entirely) asynchronous journalling game for two players about redacting, interpreting, & straining against the confines of language. it's played by creating & communicating through blackout poetry. playtest version with community copies out now satah.itch.io/blackout

in blackout, your characters can communicate with each other thru letters, voicemails, dead drops... but you, as a player, can only communicate thru fragments of found poetry. interpret the poems you send & receive in logs & see how your stories diverge from their shared start satah.itch.io/blackout

your attributes are "GREAT", "MIRACLE", "HAPPENED", and "THERE!", your progress clock is candles on a menorah, and these are the kind of tables i put in there.

me, @blujayh.itch.io and @sixvalentine.bsky.social had the pleasure of playtesting this game. we listened to a shitty MIDI of Hava Nagila while listening, which caused the game to feel like a beautiful Judaism-powered manic episode. Our heist included a horrid young pope and 'Jew-bending'. Silly fun
