What is your favorite rpg/supplement for humor?

DMH

First Post
I recently bought the paths of power files from Distant Horizon and they have me in stitches. The only other books or files I can think of that really lay on the humor are the comics in the 1st ed DMG, Monsternomicon (the humor is weak to me, but there) and the Blasphemous Secrets and Forbidden Lore (all 3 of them) from Plain Brown Wrapper.

So what do you find as your favorites?

Toon and Paranoia top my list for game humor. I've never laughed and been amused more consistently then with those two games.

There was a suppliment 2 or 3 years ago for d20 that was how to run a humor game, it was very good. Snarfquest I beleive it was called,m I ghave it to a friend who is a big fan of the comic and I just don't recall what it is exactly.

Toon still makes me giggle. I do need to pick up Snarfquest one day, along with the collected issues.

If only Wormy could get the same treatment. :(
i miss Wormy too. :(
 

The Toon books (I have 4 of them, not sure how many there was) are probably the only RPG books I ever bought, never used in games, and still didn't regret buying.
 

Parnoia.

I've been kicking around the idea of extracting the PDF pages from the Dragon 1-250 archives, printing off the Wormy pages and giving that to my firends as an Xmas gift. Not 100% sure how legal that is though.
 


Tough choice, but either GURPS Discworld or GURPS Goblins. I never laughed so hard as when I played those two. Character creation alone is hilarious for Goblins. :D

Kobolds Ate My Baby is pretty darned hilarious, too.
 

No matter how burned I feel by GURPS Discworld (about the false advertising, claiming you could run & play the game with only the Discworld book... and then discovering that the book includes -no- rules for magic, so you can actually only play Discworld without magic using the rulebook... GRRRR.... and then the response from SJGames over my complaint became the reason that I boycott their products now), the adventure in the back of Discworld Also about the druids and supercomputers had me in stitches because it felt SO much like an untold discworld story.

Sigh... no one's even mentioned Bride of Portable Hole, which is AWARD-WINNING funny.
