Attack of the Humans

Attack of the Humans is a role-playing game published by Rapport Games in 1990.

Description

Attack of the Humans is a violent and humorous game, a "B monster-movie" system.[1] The simple rules include only three character attributes (Brains, Fitness, and Common Sense), each of which is the prime requisite for one of three character classes (Braniacs, Athletes, and Typical Persons).[1] Each class gets a certain number of skill points, which are used to buy skills, the base scores of which are linked to the three attributes.[1] There are brief skill descriptions and guidelines for running the game, but the core of the rules is its list of "Common Monsters," including alien brain men, animated apparel, blind telepathic albino city gators, evil stuffed toys, disembodied body parts, floating bottled brains, and possessed household pets.[1]

Publication history

Attack of the Humans was designed by David Durham, with concept and art by Phil Morrissey, and published by Rapport Games in 1990 as a 96-page book.[1]

Reviews
  • Voyages to the Worlds of SF Gaming (Issue 14 - Jan 1991)
gollark: It is claimed that (here, at least) most employers don't particularly care which degree course you do (outside of a few things like engineering or medicine).
gollark: Although I think you also get less flexibility in doing multiple things, which is less nice.
gollark: University here is mostly only 3 years, so those things don't really exist, which is nice.
gollark: Hmm, would you sell all future months separately or just 12 of them once for every year?
gollark: Oh yes, month NFTs, great idea, very decentralized.
