The Goon Roleplaying Game

From the Librarian: The Goon Roleplaying Game brings the wild and gritty world of Eric Powell’s award-winning comic to life, letting players join the Goon’s crew to fend off rival gangs, zombies, mad scientists, and more in a darkly humorous, action-packed setting. You’ll love The Goon RPG if you enjoy antiheroic adventures, over-the-top pulp action, and battling bizarre enemies in a grimy, tongue-in-cheek crime-ridden world.


 

From the Publisher: The Goon™ Roleplaying Game is based on the multiple Eisner Award-winning comic, The Goon™, by Eric Powell.

This game ain’t about heroes, per se. More like antiheroes. Join the Goon’s crime syndicate—or play as Goon, Franky, and the rest of their crew—and fight off the rival gangs what’s encroachin’ on your turf, while you collect on Goon’s debts and whatnot. You might also succeed at fighting off the tide of bleak suffering that’s set to consume yer soul. Then again you might not!

But while you’re contemplatin’ the psychology and so forth, make sure to watch out for Zombie Priest and his legions of groanin’, brain-chomping zombies; they’re a constant hassle. If that ain’t bad enough, there’s crazed-yet-brilliant Dr. Hieronymus Alloy and his robots goin’ on a rampage every other week. You also want to keep a lookout for swarms of chug-heads…what they call “changelings.” Yeah. They’re nasty little buggers.

Believe me, pal, we ain’t even got to the worst of it yet. You sure you wanna join up with Goon’s crew?

Please note a copy of the Savage Worlds core rules is necessary to play.
