Do you enjoy role-playing fantasy adventures like Dungeons And Dragons (D&D), but feel their settings are a bit too European-centric? Are you tired of classical Western characters and monsters, and want to experience something with a little more local flavour?

Then perhaps, Lorn Song Of The Bachelor is for you. Published by Hydra Cooperative, this is a role-playing game (RPG), inspired by the crocodile stories of South-East Asia, particularly Sarawak. The game's description promises "tragedy, a bloody curse and love gone sour", and contains creatures such as mind-controlling catfish, a Golem made of human teeth and a pregnant tiger spirit.
