TBRPG of the Month

Kingdom of Loathing



Sometimes, it's cool to have a little game you check in with every day. I just started this one today, but it's already got me addicted. BTW, "TBRPG" stands for Turn Based Role Playing Game. In this instance, you can either ascend to grand mastery as a Seal Clubber, an Accordion Theif, a Pastamancer, or another equally silly characters. Each one is represented by a quality rendition in neo-renaissance stick figure art. Travel through the kingdom, fish in the sewer with some gum on a string, battle undead elbow macaroni in a sleazy back alley, get a tattoo at the Dirt-Walled Hovel of The Pretentious Artist, or see what the Crackpot Mystic has in store for you. Beware of the Ninja snowmen! Collect currency in the form of meat, and work on your muscle, mysticality, moxie, and maybe, if you get ahold of some of that Mad Train Wine, your Inebriety. Gather cool shit via adventuring, such as a sweet ninja sword, studded leather boxer shorts, or some tomatoes. Characters within the game will give you missions, such as using meat paste to reassemble a favorite action figure. It's laughably silly and very fun. There's quite a bit of complexity and, of course, limited turns. There's something about HP and MP, but since that makes me think of the PV/BV in Amway, and therefore gives me the heebie jeebies, I don't worry about it too much and just make sure they are maxed out by resting in my Newbiesport Tent at the campgrounds. You should definately give this one a whirl, and if you find Degrassi Knoll, let me know where it is!
