4''Macho Women with Guns'' is a TabletopRPG that lets you play a specific type of character. Guess which type. Go on, guess.

6The first edition appeared in 1988, a 12-page booklet with a minimum of rules and a maximum of tongue (in cheek, that is). Skills include Run in High Heels and Seduce Creature. Enemies include TV Evangelists, Drunken Frat Boys, Cthulhu, and Isaac Azathoth.

8The second edition appeared in 1994 (expanded to 70 pages). It consolidated and expanded upon all the supplements and background released since the first. In the Machoverse, civilization--indeed, reality itself--is collapsing. Characters can belong to the saintly Sisters of Our Lady of Harley-Davidson or go it alone. They fight against the evil Batwinged Bimbos from Hell or the last remnants of male chauvinist piggery.

10In 2003 Mongoose Publishing released a full-color MediaNotes/{{d20 System}} version.

12It is apparently not the same game as the non-existent ''Kung-Fu CB Mamas On Wheels vs. the Motorcycle Aztec Wrestling Nuns'', despite the obvious parallels.

15!!This tabletop-game provides examples of:

17* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: The Batwinged Bimbos, although extremely dangerous, are easily distracted.
18* ChurchMilitant: What would GEE-zus do? He'd swat you on your bee-hind for wearing such a skimpy outfit!
19* CoolButInefficient: The bigger the gun, the easier it is to dodge the bullet. Or something like that.
20* DCupDistress: [=PCs=] can take a disadvantage that causes balance problems.
21* GirlsWithGuns: Well, we tried to warn you.
22* HotAsHell: The Batwinged Bimbos from Hell
23* NaughtyNuns: The Renegade Nuns On Wheels, who have access to holy powers in addition to vehicles and guns.
24* RefugeInAudacity: ''Everything''.
25* RevengeAgainstMen: Really, we tried.
26* WorldOfActionGirls: Who'd have thought?
