A horror OSR adventure inspired by Jewish Folklore & Mysticism
Beyond The Pale is a tabletop RPG adventure inspired by Jewish history, folk tales, and mysticism. This setting aims to highlight the unique folklore and beliefs cultivated by the Jewish people, presenting them in an old-school RPG format. It explores themes of oppression and persecution alongside hope and love, set against a backdrop of idyllic country life.
To ensure the authenticity and sensitivity of this portrayal, the core development team (including the writing, art, and layout) all identify as Jewish. Members of the religious community were consulted throughout the development of this book to ensure that the themes and images represented in the text were not perceived as offensive or derogatory.
The adventure was written with Cairn(link opens in new tab/window)(link opens in new tab/window) in mind, but is close to being system-neutral and easily adapted to other Old School roleplaying games.
