What is your favorite rpg/supplement for humor?

Nogard -- it was about two or three pages long, and was the "ultimatest high-level adventure" - which put you on a featureless plain with nothing to do. Was that it?

Oh does anyone remember 'It Came From the Late, Late Show?'

With another "Late" in there... yeah :)

Very silly game ... your Fame score (1-100) determined the # of rounds in any gun you picked up! I loved it. :cool:
 

Paranoia XP: Flashbacks. The core rules are great, but these modules are wonderfully funny and rat-bastardly. Just reading some of this stuff (Invisible Commies! Submarines!) cracks me up.
 


My most hilarious, product-based, gaming experience was a friend running B1 in college. He still had a copy of the orginal blue-book basic set (which was kind of pre AD&D, but not directly compatible, I think). We were randomly assigned a character from the pregenerated list in the back and ploped to the front of the dungeon with no backstory. Maybe it was the fact that the party was mostly thieves who were always hiding in shadows for no reasone, maybe it was the fact that the only woman playing with us (who I had a crush on, but thats a whole different story) had been randomly assigned the one character out of 50 or so which had any indication of gender (i.e. Treblos, boy magician). In any case, none of us could stop laughing for days whenever we talked about that session.
 

I heartily recommend the GURPS Horror supplement for its humor.

Huh? I know what you're saying, but the actual material inside is written in a very funny style, and there's lots of smiles to be had with a quick perusal (though actual gameplay is, presumably, more, uh, horrifying. That's NOT a comment on game quality, mind you ;) ). Seriously, there's some great moments, including a section on weapons used by psycho killer (q'est que c'est) enemies (golf club damage, for instance, varies depending on whether the pscyho killer is using a putter or a driver; plus there's the ever popular post-hole digger and fondue fork weaponry), as well as what happens when a random character decides to wander through a graveyard at night. In the fog. Without a flashlight. Alone.

Anyway, I'm probably not explaining it very well, but it's funny stuff.

For board games, I heartily recommend The Awful Green Things from Outer Space!

One of the all-time great fun board games, and the artwork was terrific. The adventures of the crew of the interplanetary ship Znutar and their desperate battle against, well, the awful green things from outer space! :) You had to wander around the ship finding various things to use as weapons and try them out against the ever-multiplying green things. The effects of a weapon could be awesome, or terrible, depending on the draw of a chit. And it came with a comic strip built-into the rule book! Great stuff!

Bartender! Another cannister of Zgwartz! No ice!

To kick it old, old school I liked Fineous Fingers (I was a Bored-Flak fan myself--wand of automatic mssile fire!).

I also have to second HoL, some funny, funny stuff. I also liked the Chaosium Blood Brothers books.

WG7 Castle Greyhawk. It's like Undermountain on crack. :D

Indiana Gnome...
An elf, a skeleton named Bones, and a genie standing around a body. The skeleton says, "He's dead, djinn."
Were-gummy-bears...

Seriously, this place was like Airplane! the adventure.

One game I saw in a local game store is Fairy Meat. I took one look and thought the idea was incredibly stupid. Does anyone have that? Is it funny?

Quick! Pick it up. It's humungous hilarity and it's OOP! Grab all the sups, too, if you can. Moon fairies ROCK! And you've never played a fairy as it was meant to be unless it's a carnivorous fairy! :lol:
