Line 31:
* [[Insult to Rocks]]: The self-advertised "best line of the review":
''{{quote|'''Sartin:''' So, basically, saying that this game should be burned is an insult to fire.}}''
* [[Pet the Dog]]: As negative as the review is, it makes sure to point out the parts of the game system that aren't as illogical as the rest of the game, particularly the use of class-specific abilities to gain levels rather than generic XP and the sole table for crucial fumbles, which is open to player interpretation rather than exhaustively laid out across many tables as with every other mechanic.▼
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: When McLennan reaches the section on magical items that turn the wearer into various, extremely hateful ethnic stereotypes:
{{quote|'''McLennan:''' ''Just to pick up, I was feeling guilty about how hard I was being on them.''
Line 43 ⟶ 42:
''[description of Armor of Greasians]''<br/>
''Then I want'' those ''rats fed to some '''other''' rats.''}}

* [[Queer People Are Funny]]: [[Defied]]. McLennan is decidedly not amused when he discovers that the lowest possible rating for Vocal Charisma is "gay".
{{quote|'''McLennan:''' ''Good for them, because I was just thinking "Wow, this game is complete shit and its authors are complete shit, but I wanted a soupçon of homophobia to go along with it.''}}
