Join us for a special episode of OH!CAST featuring Yochai Gal, the creator of the popular Cairn TTRPG. We also discuss the groundbreaking work of our own Fanch Gallig, who completed the first-ever Gaelic translation of a tabletop role-playing game with Cairn.

In this episode, you’ll discover:


  • The creative vision behind the Cairn TTRPG, a game of exploration, dark fantasy, and high tension.
  • Insights into the game's core mechanics, including quick character generation and rewarding adventures.
  • The fascinating process of translating a complex TTRPG into Scottish Gaelic for the first time.
  • Why this translation is so important for the preservation of minority languages and the growth of the Gaelic geek community.


Whether you're a fan of Cairn, new to TTRPGs, or interested in the fusion of language and gaming, this conversation is a must-listen.
