[QUOTE="Henry, post: 3165935, member: 158"] Thanee mentioned Tales from the Floating Vagabond, and it used to be a big favorite with me. Some of its skills included "Hurt People," (the brawl skill), "Hurt People Really badly," (the martial arts skill) and "Target Vomiting" (which is exactly what it sounds like). Size categories for items (which definitely predates 3rd edition D&D) include things like "really big gun, Oh my god that's huge, and Don't Point That at My Planet! And the Shticks each character had could range from the Arnold Effect (you don't feel wounds until you're dead), to the Rambo Effect (all weapons fired at you from close range have a HUGE chance of missing), to the Roy Rogers effect (you do trick shots effortlessly, but you can't kill someone by shooting them), and so on. The winner to me is still Fashan, though, which is crammed with stuff so insane you just have to laugh out loud, made worse by the idea that the author was serious.... the default setting is [I]"Boosboodle, a land just south of where Melvin is standing now."[/I] Truth, is indeed stranger than fiction.
