Caution: Stop drinking now and read this......
#1I have found some truly funny gaming humor. Non gamers or casual gamers will find it admusing. Real Gamers will find this ROTFLMFAO. Really, the most common comment in this thread is "I spewed (insert liquid) when I saw that."
The thread?
So, on Something Awful's Comedy Goldmine section, they had a feature called Real College Textbooks, where people had photoshopped the covers of textbooks to be overly honest about the contents, so there are things like "Network Security (And Other Amusing Oxymorons)" and "An Introduction to MOTHERF***ING LASERS AND SHIT!!!"
So, what if the same kind of thing were done with RPG books? The only one I was able to think of was for Exalted: Sidereals there should be a caption on the cover that reads: "Don't even try to run a campaign chronicle." ^_^;
"This book contains all you need to play except for the bits we decided to spread over a dozen or so other books!" This could go on the cover of a number of core books.
"Another Tolkien knock-off."
And More....
Yes, this is a thread on a different forum. Normally, it is bad form to point a link from one forum to another. However, this thread is too long and has too much in the way of graphics to import. So just deal with it.

#4I was considering using "Unrated Version" and "Special Collector's Edition" on the cover of my books. Another idea was to note that Midian is "multiplayer" and has "internet support, and a "persistant game world."
Other cover related silliness:
"This is a book. Do not eat."
"Satisfaction guaranteed!"*
* Guarantee not guaranteed -
It is still going...
#537 pages later, they are still posting up photoshopped covers and cool lines. Sure there has been some flamish posts, but name a large thread that was any good that didn't.
So, if you have never seen this before... read it
If you have seen it before, you should do it again.
I mean it. Why are you reading this. Go do it. Do it now?
