I would never try playing HOL, but it's hysterical to read. Especially if you've also read the (legendary) Spawn of Fashan rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) Tales of the Floating Vagabond. It also had a ranged defined as "See That Speck?" I wrote a magazine adventure for that game called "So many Chickens, So Little Time" which is one of the strangest things I've ever written. "In this adventure, your player-characters will be faced with massive schemes, grand deception, elemental evil and kamikaze poultry." Six-foot chickens in seeksucker suits with Berserker Rage that is triggered by any phrase or action that refers to the consumption of chickens or eggs.
