timppu: Yeah I had to google it too, but apparently it is a pen&paper RPG so no wonder I haven't heard about it. First I was sure it is some kind of Japanese hentai game for PSXXX.
Oh, and apparently it is a Finnish p&p RPG? Sweet, small world. I couldn't even find an English Wikipedia article of it, only a Finnish one. The creator of the game is apparently an American living in Finland (James Edward Raggi IV).

It is like they are too lazy to come up with a new name for a child, so they just give their own name and slap a new number after it, like "third" or "fourth". I presume that "IV" in the name referest to "the fourth", and not "iv".
Bah, parents of these days, so lazy. It was different when I was a kid, parents were so much better and came up with funny names for their kids.
Yeah, it seems to be absolute madness :D
But at the core it's a dark fantasy rpg with a very basic ruleset.
The 17th century european setting, and the sheer insanity behind it's facade
makes a very intriguing game world.
Personally, I haven't tried the Pen and paper original yet (I just don't have to time to play anythin pen and paper anymore), but I've read some of the published books.
