Welcome to the table! 

This is a Jam about celebrating Passover as a community. Passover is an opportunity to remember hardship and at the same time envision new possibilities. It is about bitterness but also togetherness. We are looking for TTRPGs, story games, poems, essays — the door is wide open. This is a Jam for Jews, non-Jews, and the jew-“ish” to explore memory, ritual, and the role of shared food and stories in bringing us together.

This jam is also an opportunity to let people know about a Passover TTRPG we are developing called Ma Nishtana: Why is this Night Different?, a story game based on the Passover Seder. It is a project based on our family’s traditions. If you would like, we’re looking for play-testers and would deeply appreciate your input! Learn more: https://manishtana.itch.io/
