Here’s a thing I made: an extra character for “Witch: the Road to Lindesfarne”.
If you ever get a chance to come to Dremation or Dexcon in New Jersey, you’ll probably find one or several games of Witch being run there. These have a bit of a reputation for being intense, deep, and sometimes dark games. As many consider that sort of thing to be just their kind of fun 🙂 for a while now some tables have used an nun character pieced together from hints on the Witch wiki in order to get another player at the table. This is my attempt at making a more formalized version of that character.
As the notes in the pdf say, adding another woman to the cast of Witch can really change the gender dynamics in interesting and not always predictable ways. While it subtracts from the purity of the metaphor (five men must decide whether or not to kill a woman), it opens up new avenues of exploration of the politics of oppression and intersectionality. And can be, you know, killer (ahem) fun.
As always, feedback is appreciated. I’ve released this under a CCBY license and cleared it all with the folks at Pompey (who were happy to see it.)
