''Hulks and Horrors'' is a TabletopRPG made by A.C. Danvers. It is a SpaceOpera setting made using the Open Gaming License 1.0a rules system. It is available for download as a free PDF at online game stores.

The game's premise is that when humanity finally reached the stars, they found that a plague had wiped out most other sentient races. Now it's up to the players to investigate ruins and [[TitleDrop abandoned ships, facing the horrors]] in them, in order to find great rewards.

You can play as four human character character classes: Pilot, Scientist, Soldier, Psyker (psionic) and three alien races (also treated as character classes): the Sl'ettexik (hovering squids), the Red-Red-Chartreuse-Blue (a race of giant one-cell organisms, with a color-based language, called Omega Reticulans by everybody else) and the Urr-A-Arfruf (Bearmen.)

The game allows for a wide array of WorldBuilding, from designing your own devices, spaceships and monsters to planets and star-systems. It includes dozens of ready-made monsters and artifacts as well.

[[JustForFun/IThoughtThatWas No, it has nothing to do with]] ''that'' [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]], Or with Space Hulk, another RPG.

!Tropes in Hulks and Horrors include:
* ApocalypseHow: Class 3. The Great Plague, a disease of unknown origin, completely wiped out the previous interstellar civilization; the survivors were mutated into monsters.
* BearsAreBadNews: Subverted with the Bearmen (though they do suffer from berserk furies.)
* BlobMonster: The Reticulans, and a few monsters.
* BodyHorror: The Great Plague. Also, many monsters have attacks that have similar effects on their victims.
* CharacterAlignment: Not for [=PCs=], but for monsters. It ranges from "docile" to "killer."[[invoked]]
* CharacterClassSystem: combined with racial character classes.
* DungeonCrawling: In spaceships, planet surfaces and abandoned cities.
* IndoEuropeanAlienLanguage: There are several languages a PC can speak, including "tradespeak."
* MoodWhiplash: Though mostly an action-adventure setting (with some horror elements) the setting is peppered with humorous bits as well, such as artifacts that sell used underwear, or the fact that Cajun gumbo is a universal dish.
* PsychicPowers: The Psyker uses them. An optional rule allows other classes to learn them as well.
* RecycledInSpace: ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' In space!
* ShoutOut:
** The Caerbannog is kind of a [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail familiar Killer Rabbit]].
** The Felix, a breed of wild cats, are explicitly named after [[WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat an ancient Earth cartoon character.]]
** The Hiverbugs may also be based on ''Film/StarshipTroopers''' "Bugs".
** The Living Weapon is one monstrous Franchise/{{Alien}}.
** Series/TheWalkingDead are, despite the name, actually Plague victims.
* StarfishLanguage: The Reticulans' color-based language. Humans can "speak" it with a wrist-mounted signal device.
