So I'm a book collector before a gamer these days and I realized I have a growing collection of offensive books. Kult, MYFAROG and The Mutant Epoch come to mind.  Who can name offensive titles that have seen print?  I wish to add them to my collection. I'm still trying to track down the legendary F.A.T.A.L.

The Mutant Epoch is offensive? I like the settlement maps in the Pitford and Crossroads Region books.

Well AD&D 1e is offensive because only human males can have 18/00 strength and there is a racial feelings table.

I'm sure anything published pre 2000 is considered offensive in some way.

And Kult?

The Mall of Doom adventure features rape as a theme. There's a band of mutant freaks that kidnap women to rape them.  If I recall correctly there's a rule somewhere where the more beautiful the characters the more likely they are to be abducted and turned into sex slaves.

It's also my favorite supplement in the line.

1) Get thee a gaming group. At bare minimum, play online via Skype (or Roll20 or whatever).

2) Why would Kult be offensive? I've run Kult. It's Hellraiser the RPG.

I've never seen FATAL in print. Racial Holy War (RaHoWa) was only PDF as far as I know. FATAL is more nutburger than offensive because its like "outsider art" (aka, art made by insane people) while RaHoWa is about killing people who don't look like you and leveling up your gun. Yes, your gun levels up. I've always wanted to port that mechanic over to an OSR fantasy RPG where your chosen weapon "gains levels".

If you want to increase your collection, consider Print on Demand for the PDFs...before the PDFs vanish.

As for print "offensive" books, I have (and run) the original Carcosa. I can't see why The Islands of the Purple Haunted Putrescence would be considered offensive, unless you didn't like flabby asscheeks on your RPG covers. I own the softcover via Amazon and its a truly awesome gonzo Swords & Sorcery RPG setting.

The Alpha Blue RPG game line from Venger Satanis is available on Amazon...until the upcoming wrongthink purge. VS posts here. Good dude. In Alpha Blue, you go on adventures across the galaxy to get your naughty bits wet and not blown up by plasma guns.

Another good dude who posts here is the mighty GRIM, aka James Desborough.  He wrote the Tales of GOR RPG which I'm sure is A grade offensive to Non-Gorean fans. There used to be a substantial Gorean community in Los Angeles in the 90s who used to attend the local cons with their...slaves. If they still exist, I imagine they're fans of the game.

Not the original versions but Divinity Lost has a description of Inferno that featured people being forced to eat their own shit and babies being tortured that offended me.  Also one of my favorite books.

I'm not saying they need to offend you.  I'm saying offensive in general.

I actually think 1e gets something of a bum wrap, because if anything, it was being generous to women when it comes to strength. Just look at the weightlifting records. They aren't even close. (And it was only for initial rolled strength, either sex could exceed it via magic. And it was lifted completely in Oriental Adventures)

There was an issue of White Dwarf that offended some people, because like that Carcossa supplement, it had rules for sacrificing people for magical purposes.

The Necromancer class in WD, reprinted in Best of White Dwarf Article 3 I recall. Included ritual stuff like "Must sacrifice woman pregnant with first child" to maintain powers - it was genuinely evil, as opposed to WoTC Warlocks & such. One of those "It's an NPC class - with a full XP table" classes that used to be common.

I think the only offensive games I have are Alpha Blue & Tales of Gor. Can't really imagine playing either; I used to have some smut in my Wilderlands game for that 1970s feel.

And Gary ditched the "18/50 max for females" rule at his table anyway.  Told me putting it in there in the first place was a huge regret of his.

Wraeththu made it into chain bookstore distribution.

I've seen many RPGs I disagree with in terms of settings or mechanics or overall taste, but I've never found one that actually "offended" me in the literal sense.

Listen up Antiquation! If you aren't perpetually offended when online, you're gonna lose your access to the internet!

Reasonableness will NOT be tolerated.

There's also Busty Barbarian Bimbos, which I know some people were pissed off about when it was made a few years ago. The system is pretty bad, but there's just something special about stopping at the Starbucks in the dungeon before heading deeper to rescue the princess from a tribe of Feral Bull-Dykes.

There's also CREEKS & CRAWDADS. It's offensive to crawdads. We played C&C at cons when it came out and here's the deal. You are a semi-intelligent crawdad which isn't that bright. Oddly, we always had some chucklenut at the table who felt bad for our depiction of their lack of shrimp genius.

Do you own Macho Women with Guns? It had Puppies from Tindalos!
