The very last talk bubble, about the hole in the roof, made me laugh so hard that milk came out of my nose. But I wasn't even drinking milk!

So exactly how long can Naga hold her breath without braining her damage?

Maybe a good dose of dain bramage will even her out? I'm sure Fran and Darth Afro will be happy to experiment with what the "right" amount of brain damage might be.dark_lord_zagato wrote:So exactly how long can Naga hold her breath without braining her damage?
Stupidity got us into this, why can't it get us out?

That STD sounds like something out of FATAL to me.

Hol, I never played the game, but have both books. They were some of the funniest things I've ever read. While I don't remember that particular STD in the game, I'm not sure I'd put it past the authors. Their humor tended to run in that direction.BloodHenge wrote:That STD sounds like something out of FATAL to me.

Actually Poe says it was inspired from HôL, aka "Human Occupied Landfill", the most wonderfully twisted game you'll never be able to play. It is sick and wrong, but in a good way! Too bad it's almost impossible to make sense of in a rules sense, even with the hard-to-find expansion book that actually gives the character creation rules...
OTOH, FATAL is just sick and wrong in a bad way. Maybe even the worst way. I swear, I lost Sanity points reading the damn thing...

It was from the Buttery Wholesomeness splat book (since the actual HOL book lacked character creation rules, as it was just suppose to be a parody of rpg's and not actually ever played) it could come up during character creation, as part of the random background part that was intended to mock Travelers' own random background system. I think it was something like you catch a virus that makes an organ/bodypart swell up, then falls off, becomes somewhat intelligent, and joins you as a companion. You were given four choices of what body part to lose, which determined the follower's stats, one of choices was called "Timmy the Testicle" or something to that effect.davester65 wrote:Hol, I never played the game, but have both books.

Though it's entirely possible the name 'Timmy' was just something I came up with back when some friends and I ran the game.

The STD thing is fun, but my favourite aspect of that character creation chart is that it turns out to be extremely difficult to generate a character who has not attended clown college.
(This isn't at all obvious just from looking at it, either. It looks like a mess, but the author actually arranged it so that, statistically, the vast majority of characters generated with it will eventually have their lifepath land on "clown college".)

Yeah... I think three of the four players in my group ended up as assassin clowns. I think they were just really, really proud of the fluff text for that one.
