Who are we?

Hi, my name is Uri Lifshitz and I founded Crafted Crossroads publishing because I love creating collaborative wonders. I’ve been playing role playing games since I was six, running campaigns since I was ten, and creating content since I was twelve. 

I’ve been recording the On the Shoulders of Dwarves podcast with Eran Aviram for over twelve years, I’ve had the honor of winning Israel’s first Olympic GMing contest, have spent over a decade performing and teaching improv theater, and published a bunch of role playing games.

Let’s have fun.

Really easy to navigate and edit, I took it further and edited my team's pictures with Canva, the author is really responsive and helpful if you get stuck! I will use it again in the next campaign.

Include many different tools that can improve your rpg sessions- for any system. Pros: system agnostic advice, for GMs and players alike, fit many different playstyles, minimal book (~40 pages), easy reference, one column - great for pdf readers and small screens, interlinked table of contents. Cons: Not many art inside the book

Amazing guide for GM, started reading it even though I had no intention of becoming a GM, and now I'm actually seriously thinking about it! Uri's experience and expertise makes this guide a must-have for any GM, and can be effective even for a casual player like myself.

A very handy manual to boost up any GM's game. Quick and easy to go through and full of useful tips and tricks to level up even the most experienced game masters, let alone anyone trying to get a good running start into running their game. Highly recommended!

Played this as a gateway for a couple of friends who wanted to "Try role playing". This adventure and system was a great introduction with enough freedom for them to experiment and improvise and just enough structure to keep everything together. The players were glued to their respective zoom screens throughout, and I always knew where I was going and why I was doing it.

A fun, funny and diverse dungeon, easily dropped into any ongoing campaign or run as a one shot with all the mad scientist tropes you could ask for!

7/5 stars if I could. It took a group of 3 adventurer's about 9ish hours to get through this campaign. IT WAS AMAZING. Most of those 9 hours were us laughing. From a new GM perspective the adventure was really easy to follow, well written, and informative. Thank you! This really pulled me back into GMing!

This adventure is a must for anyone who wants to bring Comedy into their campaign. I feel like this can be a really good introduction into the game, so it's probably a good call to get this adventure if you're running a game for beginners and want something light and fun to lure them into our wonderful hobby.
