The players play characters who&#8217;re trapped in a penal colony located on the Confederation of World&#8217;s trash dump planet. While it&#8217;s playable (and can be a lot of fun if you&#8217;re in the right mood), HoL is also a satire of other RPGs and often pokes deliberate fun at them.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pen-paper.net\/rpgdb.php?op=showbook&amp;bookid=1502\">It Came From the Late, Late, Late Show<\/a>:<\/strong> Another humorous RPG. In this one, players play actors acting in a Bad Movie. Not a B-rated one, a <em>bad<\/em> one. The group of Actors (players) and the Director (GM) work together to create movie. A great game to pull out if you&#8217;re missing the requisite number of players for your regular game session. My favorite part of the game is that the Director can give out experience to players acting Appropriately Stupid.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jorune\">Jorune<\/a>:<\/strong> Yes, I know, it&#8217;s official title is <cite>Skyrealms of Jorune<\/cite>, but I wanted to showcase a different game for &#8220;s&#8221; and it&#8217;s most commonly referred to as simply &#8220;Jorune&#8221;. If you ever want to game on a truly unique and alien world, try this game. It takes a while to really get into the swing of this game &#8212; the players have a lot of background information to learn &#8212; so plan on making a long-term campaign if you choose to play it.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kult\">Kult<\/a>:<\/strong> Like World of Darkness, Kult is set in a darker version of our own world. It&#8217;s based real-life magickal occultism and draws heavily on Kabbalism and Gnosticism.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tomorrow &#8212; Part 3: L &#8211; P<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s the second part of the A-to-Z list of games: Gangbusters: Another of TSR&#8217;s non-D&amp;D game systems.
