[QUOTE="The_Gut, post: 3652992, member: 53010"] [b]Indie games[/b] the Shab al-Hiri Roach [url]http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/12/12312.phtml[/url] Basically, its a roleplaying session, not campaign. This is kind of a party game rpg setup. I haven't played it yet, or read the rules even. I'm registered for a game of this at Dragoncon this year. The above review, by the way, is quite good.
