Come roach with me

Dear Local Gamers,

Would anyone be interested in a game of The Shab Al-Hiri Roach at my place on Sunday the 31st? Starting at, say, around 3PM? Currently need at least a couple more players.

It's a one-shot RPG, and I intend it to act as my own introduction to narrativist role-playing games. I don't expect any other to have played this game before, either. I have no idea how it's gonna work, but I'm putting Vegas odds on it being a blast.

Bitching about Lost

( Just finished Season 5. )

The Lost casual game: the player controls an armed character in the jungle. Every so often, the tall green plants rustle: oh no, danger! Use the mouse to aim your crosshairs! When you do, one of your character's friends pops out. Whew, what a scare!

If you accidentally click the mouse while aiming, there is a gunshot! Oh no! And then you realize that you're the one who's been shot, by an offscreen assailant. The game ends, after a brief epilogue where your character regrets their failed relationship with their father.
