    Brennan is on like 20 levels of New York lore with this campaign. Golems are obviously Jewish, and he's wrestling with Jewish ghosts by a Jewish bagel place. They think they need Wally to learn about biblical stuff because he's obviously entwined with religious lore, but instead he points out Emma Lazarus, who was a Jewish activist! I don't know if he did all this on purpose, but that's genius.

    I’m genuinely relieved to see a Jewish character that wasn’t the butt of a joke or a massive stereotype. I’m ethnically Jewish, and the only other time I’ve seen any Jewish characters anywhere was...a magic mouth with a horrible Yiddish accent. My ex-DM made him that way as “haha different person funny,” and you made this character as *part of the culture of NYC.* I appreciate that.

      Willy might seriously be the most "correct" and best media depiction of a golem I have ever seen outside of Jewish folklore itself. The vast majority of fantasy just uses 'golem' as a synonym for 'mindless earth construct', and even in series like Discworld where they're given more depth, the aspect of "embodied protector of the Jewish people" is missing. "Chill Tanakh-educated golem who patrols to keep the neighborhood safe and wants to make sure you're eating enough" just feels *right* in a way I never knew I was missing until now.

    Random fun fact! Vampire lore about them not showing up in mirrors or photographs is because old fashioned mirrors were backed with silver, and some early types of photographs were developed using silver in the chemical solution, and silver is considered purifying against evil. So old mirrors and old photograph methods would prevent vampires from being seen because they were considered evil. Modern mirrors and photos are made differently tho so a vampire could show up in them (due to the lack of silver). Loving the show! It's so good! :D
