Any Good New Comedy Games?

[sinecure]

So are there any good new comedy games out? The last comedy game I played was Paranoia and it was written over twenty years ago. Here are a few others I can think of. Not just games where comedy happens because of how people play it.

-Toon
-Tales from the Floating Vagabond
-Bunnies & Burrows
-Paranoia
-Ghostbusters with some of the expansions
-Macho Women With Guns
-Beach Bunny Bimbos with Blasters
-Murphy's World
-Teenagers From Outer Space

Hackmaster and the Red Dwarf RPG are about all I can think of that are relatively new. Personally I think there should be a Superbad RPG. Can anyone make this please?

Well, the Star Munchkin RPG from SJG is basically a super light d20 satire game set in spaaaaaaaaaaaaace. It's fun, cheap, and pretty much self-contained.

Demon Hunters from MWP is a humor game, I think (it's based on a comedy short film). That said, I've seen no real reviews of it and next to no promotion, so I know very little about the actual game.

In general, though, truly comedic roleplaying games seem to be few and far between these days.

Not only is this not a "comedy" "game", but I'm telling the Computer all about this thread. I smell mutant traitor scum.

Thaumaturge.

Is Kobolds ate my baby a RPG?

Nope. Don't know.

As others have said, you can also include Munchkin (in traditional and Star varieties: the latter has very cool vehicle construction rules in it) and Kobolds Ate My Baby. (Now out in a little hardback)

I'd also put Diana: Warrior Princess in there, a game of playing in our world as people from the future will see it, in the same way Xena: Warrior Princess is a warped version of our own ancient past.

4e is pretty funny, but it really doesn't qualify as an RPG.....

Demon Hunters is awesome. I have no bias whatsoever.

We've been getting some good reviews, it's been plugged on various blogs, and generally it's doing well so far. It comes with a DVD, a first for an RPG as far as we know (not a CD, a DVD!) and that includes some bonus PDF content, a training video, and more stuff.

Demon Hunters is kind of horror-action-comedy, and you can dial any of those elements up or down, however you like. It's certainly very irreverent, and carries a mature warning on the back.

We like it.

You should buy it.

Cheers,
