Summary: I laughed so hard, tears came to my eyes!
Comment: Despite how much role-playing games and wargames attempt to simulate reality, they are still game with rigid rules that can sometimes make the reality it portrays out to be rather silly. This book not only exposes these bugs, but does so with hilarious art and headlines. I can read the same rules goof over and over and still be doubled over in laughter.

Gamers will appreciate these the most, but even my non-gamer wife finds one or two of the rules funny.

Summary: murphy's rules 2nd ed.
Comment: I liked the book as it showed errors in many games and gave ideas on how to use them. Some were very funny and they also listed several of their own games and the mistakes in them. The pictures were funny too.

Summary: Geeks doing silly things....has to be funny!
Comment: To be honest, I bought this book because I was quoted on the back cover :) HOWEVER, I cannot deny that I opened the book...and found that there was no end to the excitment. I believe I finished the entire book in a matter of two days! Ok...its not really a BOOK, but a comic book.

Why is it funny? Because 9 times out of 10 I can relate to one of the comics in the book (being an avid D&D player). Those that are not into RPG games will probably find this book stupid and dull. Those of us that can relate to even 1 of the comic's on each page will laugh (...).

The book contains jokes made of flaws within the RPG systems. Some of them you may have seen (or questioned) while others have never grabbed your attention before. Take a silly flaw and exploit it with a hilarious depiction within the cells of a comic strip... a good time.

However if this is the most funny thing you've ever read or seen...then your definatly a geek that needs to get out more! Its worth its weight in silver, but its not The Lord Of The Rings.
