Its multiplayer, I don't know how massive so its just a MORPG, but The Kingdom of Loathing looks like a fun, humorous RPG to try. Its aim, really is comedy, with your avatar being a stick figure, but with such classes as 'Seal Clubber' and 'Accordian Thief'. Another unique aspect is that each player gets a certain number of turns each day to do things in. With these turns you can visit the Bugbear Bakery, fight Ninja Snowmen and loot their melting corpses for phat loot like Meatloaf Helmet.
I'm going to try and create a character called 'Biggus Stickus'. Look for me online...

I guess it's not a "massive" one, can only 5 people play at time?

I have to admit that my character looks seriously "Hoopy" in my knob goblin pants and viking helmet (why do I have an urge to go eat some spam right now?) along with the disco ball I have vainly tried to use...beware of the disco bandit known as JP KILLER...(unable to stop fits of laughter)

Pete,
Why don't you read the summary first before you crack a joke, you stupid moron!

Wait for tomorrow, or get food/drink that add adventures.

2 things. First, I'm really, really excited to say that APE Games is working on a license agreement with Asymmetric Publications to create a card game version of KoL. How cool is that? And you heard it first here, on SFSignal!
Also, if you haven't checked it out, go to KoL and listen to the new KoL radio station whilst you play your favorite meat-based MMORPG.
