The Spawn of Fashan: Difference between revisions

'''''The Spawn of Fashan''''' was a tabletop role-playing game created by [[Kirby Lee Davis]] in the early 1980s1981. Only about a dozen copies sold, and the game would've vanished into obscurity had not an April Fool's edition of [[Dragon (magazine)|''Dragon'' magazine]] decided to publish a review of it in their April Fool's issue for 1982. The reviewer [[Poe's Law|''could not tell'' if the game was supposed to be serious or not]], and decided it was a parody because a serious, real game could not ''possibly'' be that bad.<ref>He was wrong. [[The Comically Serious|Davis]] made it clear years later that it was the real thing.</ref>
