60	!! Roleplaying Games
61
62	[[AC:Rulebooks and accessories]]
63
64	* The otherwise forgettable game ''Living Steel'' (half the rulebook was pictures of guns with massive lists of modifiers for things related to shooting) had sidebar comments such as: "I did not order, did not receive, and will not pay for Item 27, 'Tax', on your invoice." attributed to 'Ronald Unreasonable', and the eternally useful "Hm. That looks like a serious injury. I think you're going to have to go back to the Character Generation section."
65	** ''PhoenixCommand'' also has some winners, particularly in the characters of [[http://web.archive.org/web/20030123070756/home.earthlink.net/~phxcmd/quotes/axly.html Axly Suregrip]], [[http://web.archive.org/web/20030128034745/home.earthlink.net/~phxcmd/quotes/gil.html Gil the Treacherous]], and others. Hell, Leading Edge Games in general is a veritable [[http://web.archive.org/web/20021215041556/home.earthlink.net/~phxcmd/quotesmenu.html goldmine of such quotes]].
66	* The opening fiction of ''TabletopGame/{{Scion}}: Demigod'' shows Eric Donner, Scion of Thor, and his discovery of the horrific vision that is... basic cable.
67	-->'''Eric''': So basically, our culture sucks and everyone under 35 is part of the problem. ''(later, when asked if he learned anything)'' Donnie didn't show up at any of the usual hotspots. And I'm cancelling our cable.
68	** Later, in order to access where their missing companion has gone, the Band must give an offering of honey to a spirit. Yukiko then reaches into her coat and reveals she carries two packets of it everywhere - in case where they go doesn't carry her favorite brand (she puts it in her tea).
69	--> [[DeadpanSnarker Dr. Tigrillo]]: Words fail me.
70	* ''TabletopGame/{{Munchkin}}''. As a HurricaneOfPuns, there's going to be at least one that makes you laugh.
71	%% Example needs to say which RPG and more information so it can be understood* Possibly more of a ShoutOut but the Series/RedDwarf reference in the new Series/DoctorWho RPG.
72	* Flying Mice's ''Aces and Angels'', a game about UsefulNotes/WorldWarII fighter pilots, provides the following example of how ''not'' to use the game's Luck mechanic: "Luckily, I jump out of the cockpit, do one and a half somersaults in the air, and land on the enemy's fuselage, [[{{Kiai}} screaming]] like a [[HighlyVisibleNinja ninja]]!"
73	* In the ''TabletopGame/FadingSuns'' rulebook, there is a chart on how to do miracles. Like, ''miracles''. You pray to God and if the GM lets you, you may roll if and how it worked. The lowest success (still very hard to achieve) gives you InMysteriousWays-style events. And what are the best possible results? Completely unexplainable and impossible events -- like a sun moving all over the sky, witnessed by millions of people... or [[HangingJudge the court of]] [[TheFundamentalist Temple Avesti]] [[OutOfCharacterMoment showing mercy]].
74	* ''TabletopGame/{{Mekton}} Zeta Plus'': The section on nukes mentions that (barring GM intervention) anything in the blast radius of a nulear weapon is subject to the ChunkySalsaRule. After explaining what happens to things ''outside'' the blast radius, it goes onto describe the effects of Electromagnetic Pulse, and mentions that, aside from nukes, EMP can be gererated by supernovas...
75	-> Determine which multiple of the nuke's blast radius your unit is within. If the source is a supernova, act as if the source is in the same hex as you are and quit worrying - the impending destruction of the entire star system is going to make anything else seem meaningless by comparison. [[{{Understatement}} Luckily, supernovae are not a common game hazard]] - but you never know.
76	* The ''TabletopGame/{{Monsterhearts}}'' book has flowery and melodramatic descriptions for the lore of each [[{{Splat}} skin]] - except for the Ghost Skin, which simply says "Ghosty ghost. [[CaptainObvious You are dead]]."
77	* ''TabletopGame/NovaPraxis'' has some sidebars rendered as chatlogs. One of them contains this, discussing how the sample {{Player Character}}s are not the most stable bunch:
78	-->'''Reagan:''' We need a place to stay in Minos.\
79	'''Anders:''' You, crazy, and scary?\
80	'''Reagan:''' Wait...which is which?\
81	'''Anders:''' You need a better class of friends.

83	!! Reviews
84
85	* Not the game itself, but [[http://web.archive.org/web/20080208091645/http://atrocities.primaryerror.net/fatal.html this]] review of TabletopGame/{{FATAL}} has the part when he attempts to describe putting the Fatal combat mechanics into play:
86	-->Jack's sword cleaved through the cultist's chest, cleaving through the nipple, the xiphoid process - the lowest part of the sternum - and the shoulder blade. The cultist's blade only caused damage to Jack's appendix and his adrenal gland, somehow missing everything else in front of and in back of Jack's adrenal gland and appendix.
87	** As mentioned over in [[Funny/WebOriginal the Web Original section]], the "rebuttal" could be pretty hilarious too.
88	* A certain review of ''[[http://www.rpg.net/news+reviews/reviews/rev_3161.html SenZar]]'' can also be pretty funny.
