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!”
