SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I'm just gonna say it.. I'll probably buy this.
Not sure if I'll ever play it, but it looks like it would be a fun thing to just read through.

Also, considering how several of the Pythons have spoken out against wokeness and the attack on comedy, I think it's safe to assume this book will be safe from fuckery.

Except if whoever holds the rights is woke as fuck and the Pythons have no say on it. Which is very likely.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

There's a book titled Monty Python: The Case Against that summarizes the various legal battles the group went through over the years. Long story short, they own almost everything they've ever done, including buying back their entire library from the BBC. If someone wants to produce ANYTHING with the Python name, they need to deal with them directly.

Probably worth noting that buying the rights is not the same thing as owning the copyright. Trafalgar recently acquired the distribution rights to Holy Grail, but that doesn't allow them to turn around and sell those rights to someone else (this is what's known as a non-transferrable license).

That sounds somewhat promising, though.

Will the weapons list include pointy sticks for the advanced in martial arts and bananas for the beginners?

;D Hopefully!
And a soft pillow to poke in peoples' faces. And of course the obligatory Holy Hand Grenade.

Honestly, I'm a little angry I didn't think of this idea first.

With familiars including a dead parrot and cats that you slam against walls?

Clever idea for a game but I think I'm going to pass on this one.

I for one am looking forward to sending the party on a side quest to chop down the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring.
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends
Be merry

Double XP if they respond with "Ni!" and refuse to do it.
