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

Obstacles
שש. Your parents (angry)
נש. Another heist crew
הש. Some shmuck
גש. Halacha
שנ. The Vatican’s many tourists (angry)
ננ. The Vatican’s labyrinthian layout
הנ. The Vatican’s most powerful relics
גנ. The Vatican’s security system
שה. The entire conclave (angry)
נה. The Papal Swiss Guard
הה. The Vatican secret police
גה. That guy from the Da Vinci Code
שג. The Pope’s hat (angry)
נג. The Popemobile
הג. The Young Pope
גג. The regular Pope

WHO ARE YOU?
You’re one of a crew of Jews determined to break into the archives and take the menorah back. You have four attributes, each of which will be associated with a letter from the dreidel, representing how effective (or ineffective) you are when applying the associated methods of problem-solving.

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

Assign ג to what you’re great at, ה to what you’re good at, נ to what you can’t really do, and ש to what you regularly screw up. If you really trust in the Blessed One, spin a dreidel to assign them randomly—no repeats.

AGENT DOSSIER: @fkth.bsky.social While sadly Fiona's stretch goal for a Look Up to the Stars audiobook might be out of reach, it was still an honor to have her involved, and have her livestream Galactic! The Going Rogue AP I did on @wairpodcast.bsky.social is SO special to me & Fiona's (🧵)

Fiona K.T. Howat (she/her, Audiobook Reader) is a TTRPG Actual Play Performer, Podcaster, Improviser and Voiceover Artist. You can find her on Bluesky as @fkth.bsky.social and all her work and upcoming projects on her website fkth.carrd.co.

AGENT DOSSIER: @outofmana.bsky.social Keeping up with the promotional work for Galactic & Going Rogue has been nigh-impossible for me (Jess) & Johanna coming on last min to make spreadsheets & schedules, format posts, create accounts, & MORE is the only way I've avoided going completely underwater.

Johanna (she/they, Social Media Assistant) is an artist, graphic designer, amateur voice actor, social media manager, and community manager, just some of the many titles she keeps in her bag of tricks. She's worked on a variety of projects, most notably as a community manager for Nightmare Kart by LWMedia. Contrary to popular belief she is in fact not a ghoul dwelling in the depths of the Appalachian Mountain wilderness; however, you can contact her by seeking a crow perched upon a rusty old streetlamp at the forest's edge and offering it a letter addressed to linktr.ee/outofmana21.

a subscription to Disney+ to watch Andor or any other Star Wars. As antizionist Jews, Riley & I (Jess) believe strongly this is of the utmost importance, and encourage you to cancel your Disney+ subscription if you have one. You can see our full BDS statement from the Kickstarter here.

BDS Statement
Jess & Riley are both Jewish creators with a deep commitment to solidarity with Palestinians, and as such ardent supporters of the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israeli genocide. We take inspiration from many Star Wars properties in our games, and while we do not use any actual Disney or Star Wars IP, we still feel it would be irresponsible not to note that the Disney+ platform upon which many Star Wars movies and television shows are hosted was recently placed the BDS priority boycott targets list. While we share excitement for many Star Wars shows, Jess & Riley do not support or condone subscribing to Disney+ to watch this season of Andor or any other Star Wars properties.

153

The BDS movement used a "targeted" approach, focusing on specific products or companies complicit in Israeli genocide, who they strategically evaluate that can meaningfully impact—& have historically succeeded. In particular, worth noting that Disney+ is on that priority target list (cont.)

list of BDS priority targets, see their website: https://bdsmovement.net/Guide-to-BDS-Boycott

I'm SO excited to say that we've reached 1312 backers! In honor of that milestone, we'll be donating $1,312 dollars (out of the Jumpgate Games cut) to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) Movement, a Palestinian-led targeted boycott movement fighting against Israeli genocide in Palestine 🧵

AGENT DOSSIER: @dungeonminister.bsky.social When Riley & I decided to put a BDS statement on the KS page & socials, we knew there could be vicious Zionist harassment & it felt important to try to shield our contributors from it. Given the Big Bad Boycott, Esther came to mind IMMEDIATELY (1/?) 🧵

Her published games include Front Porch and unto thy maw; in addition, Esther has also written for Paizo's Lost Omens line.
