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.

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?

yeah how about that huge chunk of white space

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!

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?
