Obscure RPGs

I saw a copy of Synnibarr once. I was tempted to buy it. I didn't.

I should have.

Synnibarr is just one of those games you buy purely on how bad it sounds. Could it really be that bad? Oh...Yeah and it is.

I've got a boxed set of Torg that I got for free with an ebay purchase of a lot of old WW books. It sits on my shelf because, while the idea is awesome, I can't understand the rules at all.

Torg was way, way cool. I wish I could find my copy.

Torg is pretty cool, but I wouldn't count it as Obscure.

I think a new edition is coming out soon.

The most obscure RPG I ever had was Super Squad, the Australian superhero game.

That reminds me- I have Hunter Planet, where the PCs are incompetant aliens who hunt humans. The most powerful weapons tend to explode and healing pills give defective mutations.

I was going through my collection of RPGs I have amassed over the past 20 years and came across an obscure rpg I don't think I have ever seen anyone mention on these boards. It's entitled ALBEDO and is a para-military rpg where all of the main characters are highly evolved animals such as cats, foxes, rabbits, bears, and the like. The boxed set comes with the players manual and GM's guide. It also came with a field tech manual with technical illustrations of all the vehicles and weapons. The illustrations of the vehicles was pretty good actually. i'll upload a pic of the boxed set in a bit.

This got me to thinking. What other really obscure RPGs are out there? Does anyone want to share a blacksheep in their collection as it were? Anything out there that you purchased that a majority of us may not of heard of before??

That sounds cool. I'll have to tell my friend Sune about it. It sounds like just the thing they've been looking for.

In my collection:

Macho Women With Guns (the original release)

Got that one... and the Bat Winged Bimbos from Hell supplement.

I have a not horrible but not great SFRPG called High Colonies.
I have a horrible D&D knock off called Monsters & Slayers

Well, without leaving my chair, I'd say Tank Girl and Reich Star are fairly obscure games. I could go through the rest of my collection but that might take a while...

Seriously? Linky-link? Same publisher, or someone new?
