Mesopotamians
A downloadable game
Through some terrible black magic, the evil sorceress Azita has resurrected the rulers of ancient Mesopotamian empires. She hoped to have these undead warlords act as generals of her undead army, leading her conquest of the modern world. Instead, you started a rock band.
Now you’re driving across the United States (or wherever) trying to break into showbiz, one way or another. You wander from town to town, having adventures and hoping that they bring you closer to success. You may not understand this strange new world, with its technological wonders and modern customs. But you have a set of used musical instruments you learned to play, an Econoline van and a desire to rock your way to music stardom.
Mesopotamians is a tabletop roleplaying game for 2-6 players and one optional gamemaster. It's heavily inspired by this music video by They Might Be Giants.
You'll need some polyhedral dice to play.

😂 I played this before hearing the song by They Might Be Giants.
I just heard it now and got the joke 🤣
So ya a lot of fun even if you are out of the loop like me 🤪
I'm glad you finally got the joke.
When I have run the game at conventions I usually got some people familiar with the song and some with no idea, but everyone seemed to enjoy the game.
