    Has anyone heard more about this game system? I have one PDF about it, but there are hints that there are more. The most recent date in the file is 2013.

    Never mind, I just checked his website. More rules than I had, but a lot of it is a little confusing.

    So
    what is it about?

    The rules are based on the author's memories of his earlier role playing days.The setting is in a variant fantasy medieval Europe. The rules are scattered among several files, like OD&D but a little worse. Two of the monsters in the game that cought my
    eye are 1) a cucumber (based on the sea cucumber, not the tasty vegetable) and 2) a barking spider. I'd like to play it sometime, if I could talk my persnickety players into it.

    2) a barking spider.

    I presume it actually barks like a dog, rather than the hissing sound
    real life barking spiders make?

    that sounds... interesting. how would a cucumber monster even work?

    Yes, it barks like a dog. I'm surprised I haven't seen someone write one up already.

    It squirted its stomach out when it attacks, then tries to suck it back in once it hits an opponent.

    I don't know, the last few years SP has become way more settled. All the

    All the really edgy stuff was in the first decade or so.

    It's true, though he still has moments that a priggish office would
    find objectionable, and there's links to the archive.

    The strip in question, however, is unambiguously NSFW, with Special
    Attacks like "Improve Anal Plundering" and "Money Shot."

    Now Oglaf on the other hand...

    I've only ever seen one comic more thoroughly NSFW, and that was a
    full blown hentai comic.
