Blasphemous Fun

bluegargantuaHi,
So the other day I ordered The Shab-al-Hiri Roach. It's a one-session RPG where players are all faculty members of a prestigious New England University in 1910. So it's a merry festival of schemeing and conniving and academic skullduggery.
Then the Roach shows up.
The Roach, actually a Sumerian Super-Roach recovered during a University-sponsored archeological expedition, has survived the test of time and now seeks human hosts in which to lay its precious, precious eggs and rebuild the lost Roach Empire.
So as play goes along, you get corrupted by the Roach (or one of its children) and its foul agenda. When you're enslaved to the Roach it's good because you get lots of mechanical bonuses, but it's also very bad because...dude, you've been claimed by the Roach.
Anyway, it looks like a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to trying it out. My edition also comes with a little plastic cockroach. Very cute. But it got me to wondering...
Does anyone make black licorice candy in the shape of a bug (or a roach). Because there would be nothing better than having a little pile of them in the center of the table and whenever someone "eats the Roach" they have to "eat a Roach".
heh
