The cavern wall glitters, covered with gems: rich teardrop shapes.
As uncounted as the sweat beading your skin. Rubies?
The thought makes you shiver.
You step forward. Your lantern shakes.
The rubies scatter.
They are roaches. They flee your light.
All have disappeared all except one.
This one is paler.
Prouder. Antennae twitching in rhythm, as if counting time to silent music.
Twitching in time with your heartbeat.
About the book:
In a world beneath the world, a god of vermin grows. The more he grows, the more he wants to grow. He will not be satisfied. He will not stay away. Already his feelers have brushed the surface. Already his children sleep in your bed. Who will stand against his coming? How can he be stopped?
Reach of the Roach God is a system-neutral setting supplement, part of A Thousand Thousand Islands.
The Team:

Text by Zedeck Siew (link opens in new tab/window) (link opens in new tab/window)
Layout by hrftype.
298 pages, casebound hardcover, 9.5 x 6.5 inches, debossed bookcloth cover, black ink on cream paper interior, PDF included
It's evocative and effortlessly weird, while also feeling incredibly lived-in and usable. Zedeck's prose is as amazing as ever as well, this reads like a book of poetry that just happens to take the form of a campaign setting. I really hope a Thousand Thousand Islands returns in one form or another in the future, but even if it doesn't this is one hell of a swan song.
