»A man must defend his territory¸ slay his enemies¸ and lay as many women as possible.«

Utterance attributed to Kuthroc¸ the legendary warlord
You are a real MAN. Your arms are thick like young trees¸ most others wouldn't even be able to lift your sword from the ground¸ and your dong is 10 inches long. No shit!
You swim rapid rivers¸ climb sheer mountain faces¸ and hunt tigers and bears in the deep forests of your homeland. You slaughter your foes like cattle¸ wading ankle-deep in their blood. You fear no one! After battle¸ you get smashed on mead and grab yourself a woman for some fun. In short¸ you are a BARBARIAN!
If you thought regular fantasy roleplaying games were sexist and full of glorified violence¸ get a load of this: BARBARIANS! - The ultimate Macho Roleplaying Game.
BARBARIANS! is a satirical roleplaying game far beyond the limits of good taste. If you like dirty jokes¸ trashy splatter porn fantasy movies¸ or Manowar you'll love this. Raargh!
Warning--this book contains some explicit language!
A satirical fantasy RPG that describes itself as going ""far beyond the limits of good taste"" - where the PCs are giant barbarian men filled with raging testosterone¸ and the rules focus on both fighting and seduction. Character creation is a mix of point-based and random-roll¸ and there is only one core attribute - Virility. All PCs have a Virility of 3. The players then split 25 points between the secondary stats Dangerous and Attractive¸ which are spent to take actions in fighting or seduction (respectively)¸ and are lost by being being wounded or refused. Players roll 1d6 each for their initial pools of Aggro and Horny points that can be spent for bonus dice. They select 7 tricks - one-shot abilities such as ""double strike"" or ""electrifying touch"". Players also define 3 free-form Strengths (or 4 Strengths and 1 Weakness) along with 2 Character Traits¸ a Goal in Life¸ and 2-3 Bonds to NPCs (including desire¸ rivalry¸ and/or oath). Resolution is by rolling d6s equal to Virility¸ plus 1 die for describing the scene well¸ plus 1 die for using a tactical advantage¸ plus dice supplied by character aiding you¸ and modifying dice for Strengths¸ Weaknesses¸ or Bonds. Aggro points can be spent for bonus dice in fighting¸ and are gained through sex. Horny points can be spent for bonus dice in seduction¸ and are gained by fighting. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H. Kim"
