Best RPG Ever!

This is a great game for anyone who has ever wanted to be a chartoon character. Or just for anyone who loves cartoons. Like the best board games (Balderdash, Malarky), the important thing is having fun and making the other players laugh. ...

The best way to let your mind go!

This is the only rpg Ive seen that anyone can master in one or two tries. Your dreams to be bugs bunny or Daffy come true in this classic rpg. A must buy!

uninhibited wackiness in an RPG

First off, let me warn you that I have a scenario in this book. Let me tell you why. The rules to this game are so EASY that this has become a timeless classic. In this day, I think paper RPGs are outdated and useless. TOON will never be. You can teach this game to people who have never roleplayed before within minutes and they will love it as long as they have a sense of humor and love cartons. One of the things I love about playing TOON is the amount of complaints you get from the neighbors. Played right, this is one noisy game. With the possible exception of scenarios, you never really need to get the book expansions. They're nice but TOON is one of the most self-contained roleplaying games ever written. I get no royalties or benefits from you buying this book, I just love it to death and know you will be happy if you get it. have a blast. I like to use it to warm up a group before we do the "serious" roleplaying for the evening or when it's just too noisy an environment for anything else. Heck, I once winged it off the top of my head at a party with 15 people once. If you're still reading this and wondering about my contribution, it's the scenario "Jerks on a Beanstalk". Thanks for wondering.

Excellent RPG newbie breaker!!

If you are tired of playing or running the same old RPG over and over. Break the cycle, Toon is the way to go. It gives you the chance to go nuts in the very serious RPG world.

Classic toons recreated as a classic roleplaying game

This roleplaying game is a classic: the one absolutely perfect fit between rules system and subject matter. The rules are simple enough to be learned in an hour. The milieu they simulate is animated cartoons, in the classic violent and silly Warner Brothers idiom. There are storylines and characters for those who want them, but both take a back seat to lunacy--boggling other characters or making them Fall Down (you can't hurt a toon!). Wile E. Coyote, Sooper Genius, couldn't have done a better job!
