This Indie RPG book is filled with black and white illustrations and news clips from the "Pemberton University". I did not try this game yet. What I did not like about it is how much it reminds me of improvisation groups and actor practice groups. Something about it in the end did not sit well with me and I did not find the theme inspiring enough. Games like this one by my experience, tend to balance mostly on the motivations and involvement of the participating players. I was also not very impressed with the quality of the cards provided with the book.

I want to play ...tabletop games.
the shab-al-hiri roach is a great game about playing a 1920 college faculty on a campus possessed by the rediscovered horror of ancient Sumerian psychic cockroaches who want to take over the world.
the game guide is pretty easy, MOSTLY clear, encourages snacks and a discussion of what kind of horror you enjoy talking about, and a lot of bugs. I bought it in something of a fugue state but it looks perfectly fun!
