Witch Pleas Publishing

Witch Pleas Publishing educates through shared stories. From tabletop roleplaying games over Discord, to storytimes and seminars in libraries or tales traded around the Campfire, we believe the best stories are the ones that give us all a voice. 

Collective creation is our passion and our purpose. We’re a team of dice rolling, online chatting, virtual reality designing storytellers who’ve brought our talents together so that others can develop their talents for tales. 

We realize this mission by publishing experiential gaming products that teach through doing, not just viewing. Our tabletop roleplaying games are inspired by authentic folklore and classic fiction, shaped through scrupulous scholarly research, and designed by award-winning creators. Our introductory games offer learning through gaming to beginners of all ages, fostering empathy, critical thinking, and social problem solving. Our journals and zines give marginalized voices a forum to be heard, collecting articles, essays, and fiction from scholars focused on alternative experiences and communities.

Witch Pleas Publishing was dreamed up on a veranda in Kailua-Kona Hawaii by Gina Funk, a survivor and mother to neurodivergent children, in order to amplify unheard stories. Her life story gave her a relentless desire to empower others whose experiences might be lost or isolated. Coupled with her husband’s knowledge of literature, history, and game design, that dream became a reality and a movement that’s been embraced by a world that needs diversity in a time of division.
