Mud: A Golem Memoir

Mud is a zine and solo roleplaying game about a golem.

Imagine a place you could go, all alone. You can stay there as long as you need. When you emerge, you will be someone new.

Play out the story of a golem from the moment of its creation to its final days. Mud draws on the mythology of the golem, an animated construct from Jewish folklore, to tell a story about queer and Jewish identity and the experience of feeling out of place in your own body.

Mud includes guided choices and activity prompts designed for a solo reader (or to be read with a close friend). These activities have very light roleplaying elements. We invite you to give it a try and treat the book as either a story or a game, as you see fit.
