I think we need to compile this list. I mean, after all, how will new players know what RPG's are the manliest around?
I think the list should start off with Dark Sun, then with Dark Heresy continuing on with Deadlands, Geist, Legends of Anglerre, Paranoia, Scion and The Dark Eye.
Any thoughts?

There's a difference between 'manly' and 'rips your head off and eats your eyes because it wants to'.
But otherwise I support this list.
-
I think All Flesh Must Be Eaten and Warhammer Fantasy Role Playing deserve an honourable mention in the Manly category.
-
Which Warhammer FRP? The new one? I agree with that one.
I think ripping heads off and eating eyes because it wants to is manly, well as long as you don't scream while it's being done to you.
-
Also, this is the single most terrifying RPG cover I have ever seen in my entire life.

Don't ask me what the RPG is about as I haven't been able to muster up the courage to read it.
Ignore the fact that I'm watching Animaniacs.
-
Both Warhammer and Warhammer 40k have the same basic GRIMDARK tropes so this list can't really have more than 1 GW-based RPG. And as tough as warhammer fantasy rpg is, I believe Deathwatch the space marine RPG would beat it in manliness.

learn 2 crop screenshots noob
-
Deathwatch was why I was saying Dark heresy, though I guess they're technically different lines. Rogue trader is a pretty manly one as well.
And NEVER! How else would I be able to make everyone jealous that I'm watching Animaniacs?
-
Is it manlier to take on the greatest enemies of mankind whilst clad in the finest armour and given the finest weapons? Or is it manlier to do the same thing while up to your knees in shit, crawling through a sewer, stinking to high heaven and armed only with the old pitchfork you stole from home?

Your mom crops a good screenshot if you know what I'm saying.
My vote is for AFMBE especially if you play with the fatigue rules and encourage active paranoia among your players to ensure they won't sleep.

On that note, add Iron Heroes to the list.
-
Oh yeah, I forgot about Iron Heroes. It is pretty damn manly.

Should have thought of this last night, but, anyway. Any of the nWoD or oWoD games played as a bystander.
-
Now, if only there was a game that combined the manly aspects of space marines, with the manly aspects of Iron heroes and Dark Sun...

Rifts? It even has pseudo-Nazis to exterminate as an underdog resistance movement.

I think we're to focused on GrimDark manly. There are many ways you can be manly and idealistic.
-
Yeah, but there's no Chuck Norris RPG.

Do you honestly think any combination of words or numbers can conceptualize Chuck Norris?

There is a Chuck Norris RPG, but no one is manly enough to play it.

Wushu. No predefined manliness! You get more bonuses for being more manly! You can be as grimdark or idealistic as you want!
Oh right, and we shouldn't forget the WoD supplement: How to Be Fucking Awesome (http://forums.white-wolf.com/cs/forums/p/25369/516806.aspx)

Come on, let's remain serious here and not use April fool's jokes.

You mean like FF7?
In all seriousness, I have tried to stay away from GrimDark themes and focus on "you've got to be kidding" hard.

Then I shall put forth Call of Cthulhu and Cthulhutech.
Even ignoring the fatalistic aspects of the setting of CoC, you still have average joes who do their best to punch-out Cthulhu.
And in Cthulhutech, they do it from inside bio-engineered demonic siege engines.
-
But in Call of Cthulhu, you may have average joe's who try to punch him out, but they fail. And fail miserably.

If I were a troll, I would pretend not to notice the text on the bottom right of that picture and proceed to ask what website that webcomic comes from. Looks pretty cool, man.
-
Joe, that is a great comic. Thanks for introducing it.
Now, back to the task at hand.
Are there any more RPG's people thing should be added or removed?

Are we talking strictly pen and paper here. Because this is a classic manly roguelike: http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/

We did not forget it, we ignored it. Come on now, there's a difference.
