We’ve been getting a ton of email from people in Poland in the last few days, due to an article in the Polish press. Piotrek Czarnieki, a reporter for Gazeta Krakowska, interviewed Jason about Grey Ranks, and we’re guessing that the results were positive. Anyone care to offer an English translation? If so, please drop us a line!
Drowning and Falling, the classic game of watery graves and bone-crunching tumbles, is now back in print through Lulu.com. In addition, Grey Ranks is now available (in both print and PDF formats) through Lulu as well. You can find both games at our Lulu storefront.
Jason was interviewed by Rob Bohl for his designer-focused podcast, The Independent Insurgency. It’s an hour long and covers lots of topics, from production and design to history, playtesting, and actual play. Check it out!
Mike Sands, Gamester at Large, played a more genteel and restrained game of The Shab Al-Hiri Roach at Kapcon.
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.”
