Line 90:
* Any being with the disadvantage "No Sense Of Humor" in ''[[GURPS]]''.
* In ''[[Ravenloft]]'', there is Doerdon, the Darklord of Risibilos. Before becoming a Darklord, he was [[The Caligula|a cruel dictator]] who absolutely ''hated'' laughter, executing any of his subjects who dared do so. Now damned for his atrocities, he is [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|compelled to entertain anyone who enters Risibilos]] (a small Realm that consists of the inside of a tavern) a job he is woefully unprepared for. But the Dark Powers have given him an assistant to help, [[Demonic Dummy|a living ventriloquist dummy]] that looks like a comical version of [[Big Bad|Strahd von Zarovich]] (the Darklord of Barovia and most notorious villain in the setting). This eerie creature thinks it is the real Strahd, and constantly rants how it will crush its enemies and conquer all of reality, in the [[Large Ham|hammiest and most absurd ways possible]]. Anyone who knows anything about the real Strahd will find this act hilariously funny, and the crowd’s laughter is an endless torment for Doerdon.
* In mainstream ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', the duergar (a degenerate Underdark-dwelling offshoot of dwarves) not only have no sense of humor, they view any form of revelry, frivoly, or merriment to be abhorrent, viewing this as the reason (in their opinion) that they are superior to other dwarves. Duergar society believes strict adherence to purpose and efficiency will lead to perfection. It tends to give them a well-deserved reputation of being dour and grouchy.
