About this title

Synopsis:

"Dying is easy; comedy is hard." The role-playing game market amply demonstrates the truth of this proverb. Of the various "humorous" games and game supplements published, they range from simply not-funny to absolutely dreadful and pathetic. The worst of these are the most common: games that are written as spoofs of other games. Into this desolate wasteland of mediocrity comes HoL (Human Occupied Landfill). I could say that it's the funniest game I've ever read, but this would be too small a compliment: it's the ONLY funny role-playing game I've ever read. However, like anything funny, it gets tired after a while, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who wondered if the joke would get stale too soon to make HoL anything more than an entertaining oddity among role-playing games. And then comes Buttery Wholesomeness. Like HoL, Buttery Wholesomeness is written entirely by hand. While this does make it somewhat daunting to read, it's far more legible than some other recently-published games that go crazy with bizarre typefaces and background graphics. So while I personally would prefer that Buttery Wholesomeness were conventionally typeset, it is by no means the worst layout I've seen, even among other White Wolf products. Still, I was put off by the layout, so instead of reading it from beginning to end (as I usually do with game books) I simply spent the first evening flipping through it and reading whatever jumped out at me. I laughed for two solid hours. Almost every time I stopped and skimmed a page in Buttery Wholesomeness, I laughed out loud. I simply can't exaggerate how funny this book is. Its sheer entertainment value is more than worth the ten dollar price. But Buttery Wholesomeness is more than simply a humorous book: it's a game supplement. Assuming one plays the game HoL but isn't interested in humor, would Buttery Wholesomeness be worth buying? Yes, I think it would. Most game supplements should have this much solid information, but few do.
