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.

What would you use? 1st Ed. Ghostbusters with a modified talents list and equipment list?

Human Occupied Landfill. But thats to do with the setting, which was basically if someone took 40k and turned the Grimdark comedy up to 11.

The system itself is, well, very amusing.

You'd need a special skill for pruning the bushes of many small villages.
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

The rules can\'t cure stupid, and the rules can\'t cure asshole.

It's fucking hilarious, but a chore to read because the whole thing is hand written.

I love the Three Amigos, but I am now WAY more interested in HOL, which I had never heard of before. Looks like the cheapest copy on Amazon is around 60 bucks. Dang.
Like everyone else, I have a blog

Fun movie.

Still not as odd a choice for a licensed tabletop RPG  as Dallas, Ghost Dog, The Keep, or Species... all of which were actually published.

I got the reprints several years ago. They were a lot cheaper, and they're still available for very little. Look here:

The game is hilarious but definitely isn't for those who are easily offended. And as stated previously the fact it's all hand-written can make it hard to read, but the humor makes it worth the effort. To this day my favorite skill in any rpg is still 'Making Sharp Things Go Through Soft Things That Scream and Bleed.'

I like how the unarmed combat skills were divided into "That Psycho Bruce Lee Shit" and "Make Someone Stop Living With Your Fist."

Dallas is awesome. There should be more like that.

Aces & Eights is way too convoluted and complicated for a fun game as Three Amigos ought to be.

No idea what a Risus is or why it would be suitable. 'Splain, please.

There is an alternate reality out there somewhere where D&D is just an obscure oddity and housewives and gay hairdressers playing Dallas became the core of the RPG hobby.
