Gamegrene Likes the Roach as much as The Roach likes Gamegrene. Thanks!
“The Shab-al-Hiri Roach’s is rules-light, focusing more on the narrative, and resorts to dice only to solve the central conflict of each scene. It’s a great game for new or first-time gamers, as it doesn’t require a lot of rules knowledge, and I highly recommend it for both experienced and new gamers. It’s not something that’s generally suited for consistent week after week play, but it works fantastically as a fill-in game if one of your players cancels at the last minute. If you’re looking for a hilarious game that will satisfy your sadistic bent, The Shab-al-Hiri Roach is right up your antenna.”
A Nice Grey Ranks Quote
From Nemomeme:
” It was extremely cool, but I especially felt the “pang of the one-shot” with this game. By that I mean I’ve really begin to realize how much I prefer a game that goes for three or more sessions. There was so much more to explore in the amazing characters and situation the players and the game system afforded, but no time or opportunity to do it. The Polish child soldiers, Bear, Slaz, Mar, and the rest are lost portraits, frozen in time. This was my favorite session of the convention”
