– Funniest Game you've played
The day's been long,
hot, unrelenting. No time for lunch today, the schedule was just too
full to make time. There'll be no dinner waiting either, there's no
one who cares enough to make it for you. Might as well stop for a
beer, maybe chat up a barfly, break the monotony, kill the
loneliness, if just for a few hours. Maybe someone will remember you
this time, probably not. You know them, you see them every day, know
each of their names, and what most of them do for a living. They've
told you time and time again, a skipping record of conversations, a
repetition of false bravado and candid failures. They don't know you
though, They don't remember your name, they don't remember what you
do, they don't remember having talked with you the night before. They
never do. You are nothing. What you do doesn't make any difference,
you don't matter.
You'll open up that
sad and sorrowful door, step through the threshold, and nothing,
nothing, will ever be the same again.
Your depressing
watering hole will be gone, replaced by the strange and unusual.
Standing out among bipedal dogs in overcoats, Elves, Dwarves, and
Disgustingly Cute Furry Things, is the ugliest C.H.U.D. you've ever
seen pass for human. Almost seven feet of scales, bumps, humps,
warts, and scars. It'll be behind the bar, it'll notice you, it'll
approach slowly and say, “The house specialty is the Singularity.
What'll ya have?”
Welcome to Tales
From The Floating Vagabond, a game of trans-dimensional hi-jinks,
where up is down, and left is yellow. It's hard to know exactly what
you'll get with a game this purposefully whacky.
The primary mechanic
is the 'Shtick'. This is basically a super charged, comedic version
of a trope, common to popular media.
Then there's The Trench Coat
Effect. It lets you conceal any number of absurdly large items within
your overcoat, and gives you a chance to have anything anyone happens
to ask for, randomly in your pockets.
Just two of the
many, mad effects available to characters in this over the top laugh
fest of a game.
Really it's fun.
Relax, have a smoke, a few beers, and go with it. You won't be
disappointed.
