We’re thrilled and honored that Ken Hite has named The Shab-al-Hiri Roach as best sui generis RPG of 2006!
Hite writes: “…the voices in my head will brook no other winner than the GM-less blend of improv theater, Hearts, and terminal-stage Call of Cthulhu that is Jason Morningstar’s triumphant The Shab-al-Hiri Roach. Fear the Roach! It has psychic powers, a twelve-sided die, and the Best Sui Generis RPG Outie for 2006!”
Jason’s back from Dreamation, where a pair of Grey Ranks playtests were conducted. The writeup is here, if you’d like to see his thoughts on them. Overall Dreamation was impressive and entertaining, and BPG will be back next year! Thanks to Bret, here’s a photo of the second Grey Ranks playtest! Here’s another! And here’s the IPR table, overflowing with great games.
Jason will be at Dreamation 2007 this weekend, running a pair of Grey Ranks sessions (the first public sessions ever!) and playing a mess of games. Stop by and say hello if you’re attending!
Paul Tevis, host of the Have Games, Will Travel podcast, has named The Shab-al-Hiri Roach as one of his top five games of 2006. Thanks, Paul Tevis!
We’re pleased as punch to announce that Jeff Bent will be illustrating Grey Ranks. Jeff’s a superb artist and he’s already produced the first of ten interior pieces. He’s also doing the cover.
