What is this?
Last year I finally jumped into making tabletop roleplaying games after years of running them with friends. Swamp Troll Witch(es) is my first game, which I put together for the Motif SRD jam. The digital version has already done better than I ever hoped, but now I'd love to also see it in print, and I hope some other folks do too.

How do I help?
Making games is just a hobby for me, and I can't afford to do a print run for this out of pocket. So, I need help from everyone who'd like a copy of the game to cover the costs of printing. Even better, if this brings in enough, I'll look at commissioning some more art and expanding a bit on the current version of the game.
Since I'm new to printing and shipping zines, I'm limiting this to 200 copies between the Print and Print+PDF options and I'm only offering US shipping at this time to avoid getting overwhelmed by this project.

What's the game about?
Be a troll witch! Live in a swamp! Solve problems! Brew potions! Relax with a hot bath! Live your best troll witch life!
Swamp Troll Witch(es) is a gamemaster-less tabletop roleplaying game for solo journaling, epistolary play, or small group play based on the Motif framework.
The game focuses on the daily lives of the troll witches, searching the swamp for potion ingredients, solving problems to collect those ingredients, brewing potions, and relaxing at the end of the day to recover from the work. At the end of the week, visit the strange night market to sell all of the potions from the week.
The game features simple, flexible, narrative-driven mechanics with non-binary success and a simple oracle for answering questions.
