Amazing excerpt from this page about The World of Synnibarr, one of the more bizarre tabletop RPGs ever published:
My physical appearance is “Average”; the table ranges from “Extra Good Looking” to “Give It Up And Wear A Mask”. I am not making this up.
From what I've seen elsewhere, the game has the best/worst randomized character creation tables ever compiled. (Yes, of course it's both of those things at once.)
Another comment I've seen about Synnibarr is that an entry describing a shark-based monster starts with "Like all sharks, [this monster] is a shapeshifter..." (Emphasis mine.)
...Apparently this is getting a third edition, like, any minute now, which is notable because the previous edition came out over twenty years ago.
From what I can tell, the game is so complex it's hard to play, but people keep the book around because it's entertaining to flip through.
-Signing off.
