Description & Show Notes
In this conclusion of the three-part season on role-playing games in Western Asia, we get a glimpse into the TTRPG scene in Israel. We discuss translation issues, investigate urban legends about the Israeli army, and learn about a role-playing game theory that has only been partly translated into English.
