Our games almost always have a lots of humor.  Then again, when you have a
MS with Big Britches, an airship and Rocket Boots, another MS who also has
Big Britches and is a Werewolf (and fears silverware, thanks to his
dementias), and a third MS who is made largely of metal (and has the 6 or so
reliability rolls to prove it), it is hard to *NOT* have lots of humor.

Add to the mix a Blessed who is also an Epitaph reporter with the
unfortunate last name of Parker (Why yes, J. Jonah Jameson suddenly does
exist in our DL universe, with d12's in Mien and an overawe roll that can
break darn near anyone), the fact that we are based in Gloom (complete with
"Spiderman"), encounters with the Blues Brothers, and a group of players
that can't help but crack wise nearly constantly (thus earning some of us
the nicknames Meri and Pippen).

Believe me, the horror elements are still there - undead and well, thank you
very much, but there is a lot of laughter to go around as well.
