“Pretty tasty, but — crazy!”

Thanks to lumpley, I’ve heard about The Shab-al-Hiri Roach, a narrativist RPG set among the faculty of a small northeastern college in 1919, that asks the question Are you willing to swallow a soul-eating telepathic insect bent on destroying human civilization if it will get you tenure?

Not cool enough for you? How ’bout this: No gamemaster. Also, you can play a full campaign in a single session of three or four hours.

Still not enough? OK, check out this two-page ad in comic form: Page 1, page 2.

Or just go download the draft version in PDF format for free. (The final version should go on sale in a week or two from Bully Pulpit Games.)

FYI the Roach should be available around 10 March - it was slightly delayed at the printer. Glad you are looking forward to it!
