The Truth About Jevallik is a short conversation game inspired by my youth as a Jehovah's Witness. It originally appeared in the 200 Word RPG contest, where it was a finalist in 2019. That version can always be found here for absolutely free.
This version has a nicer layout, a slightly expanded text and a couple pieces of public domain art (by Frederic Church and Thomas Cole).
Reviews
"Wonderful improv-theatre piece where a religious doorknocker for a bizarre religion encounters a non-believer determined to shake their faith [...] There is something about the game that is benevolent where a lesser designer could have been cruel, and with the right players this game could be both educational and absolutely hilarious."
- Ivan at AGTN
"The scenario provides ample framework with *so much* room for building. It’s really whatever you want it to be."
-Anonymous Judge from 200 Word RPG Contest
"The exploration of the relationship between a random citizen and the devout follower of a strange cult is interesting, and maybe uncomfortably real."
