MORIAH: Final Cut

MORIAH is a game of sacrifice and belief. Of a dangerous pilgrimage to the peak of a holy mountain, and of the what you will give in order to make this ascent. As players, you are cast in the role of ordinary folk seeking the ear of the gods in hope of preventing the ruin of your world. You will need to face down the Trials of the mountain while evening the odds by offering your bodies, your memories, and possibly even your lives to overcome what awaits you. 

The game includes:

**As a general content warning: MORIAH does contain themes of sacrifice, blood, and death. It is necessary that before you begin play, as a table you all go over your limits. What you are and aren’t willing to have mentioned in
the game. Whether you will scale back the level of violence, or speak of it in metaphor or in passing. At any point, you are allowed to interrupt play and express your discomfort, or to opt out of a given Challenge or
experience as necessary. 

It is a game of deep connection, of personal bonds, of love in all its strange and myriad forms and the things that we do for love. Safety tools are also referenced in the base text in order to create a safe roleplaying
environment for everyone present.

MORIAH: Final Cut is the physical release for the full version of MORIAH, with a hardbound cover illustrated by Jaen Nighly Butler. The book compiles the full text of the MORIAH zine as well as additional commentary from designer Kyle Tam, all in a new layout by Johnny Isorena. 

Further Stretch Goals will unlock up to three new Roads with new illustrations from Tony Tran, as well as short fiction about "The Ones Who Could Not Ascend" by five amazing contributors.
