Laughing out loud reading every page? Awesome. Planning a totally depraved, 90's nostalgia-porn one-shot? Hella Awesome. Never using the ruleset afterwards? meh. Leaving the 69th rating AND buying the pdf on sale for 30% off of the $0.99 price, (you do the math)? Absolutely, Fittingly, Mother-Lick'n Awesome.

Dudes of Legend is an over-the-top, crass, and silly homage to the 80's and 90's action genre. It is an offensive joke well worth a read, especially at a buck (or less) price tag. Be Awesome.

This book was okay and had a decent set of rules of how to make and be a bad-ass character. Not very detailed in anything else but for 0.99 it wasn't so bad it wasn't even a $1.00 so money well spent.

This is either the single greatest piece of work White Wolf has ever written, or the single worst.

It may even be both.

I loved it. I hated it. But I loved it some more.

Dudes of Legend is silly. Dudes of Legend is awesome. It is both silly and awesome. As humorous as this product is I found it particularly useful for the right type of game.

There is another reason I enjoy gaming...the books/pdfs! Occasionally.....No!.. every year you get something out of the ordinary and the Dudes of Legend is an exception to the exception! What was originally the April fools day edition is actually highly instructive....and a good laugh...."Put the other books away boys and girls, this is all you really need! Discover what it REALLY means to be a right and proper bloodsucker!"

If you haven't got it, Dudes of legend (full adult version) is worth so much more than 99 cents...

This is rules for the world of Darkness that you would never admit to wanting to play but secretly always wished to play...turned up to eleven. It's ridiculous, offensive, juvenile and it's totally awesome. Give you all the rules you need to be epic in one small efficient package. So if you want to wear a trench-coat and duel wield mystic katanas or if you are more of the pterodactyl riding desert eagle shooting (literally) type, this has all the rules you need.

Be Epic.

Semi-serious, but very much tongue-in-cheek, this started out as an joke that people really loved. Is it irony to use it seriously in a game or self-referential humor? Sometime to break through the cliche is to embrace it.

It is the source book on how we wish the guys at White Wolf really were.

Every White Wolf player cliche of the 90s and on is here, and not just presented, but embraced and loving brought to us as if it were the only True Way to play. What is so funny here is that the stats for everything seem rock solid. They really put some care and attention to this.

White Wolf's April Fools jokes are usually pretty good and this one is no exception.

Grab your katana, trenchcoat and this book and be the Epic Awesome Legend you are.

Hey all- Kurt Wiegel of Game Geeks here. Normally I try to keep these things PG to PG-13, family friendly and open for everyone. This review, however, will be quite different. Harsh language, adult themes and downright vulgarity- its TV-MA here folks. You’ve been warned. I played a lot of the old world of darkness. I remember all the good stuff- the near explosion of good ideas, the odd juxtaposition of ancient occulted mysteries and weird modern tech. And the bad stuff: awkward metaplot, some very precious authors notes, and some just weird stuff. Love it or hate it, the oWoD started the modern Urban Fantasy genre for a lot of us. Dudes of Legend takes a lot of what people hated about the old world of darkness- gothic pretentiousness, leather and chrome and embrace it. Hell, it grabs it, throws it down and has its wicked way with it. Even the subtitle: How to be f*cking awesome spells it all out for you: Trenchcoats? Check. Cold Iron and Silver Katanas? Check. Twin Chrome Desert Eagles? Check. Double-headed Dildos? Check. Wait- what?! Seriosuly- combat stats for the double-headed dildo. You can’t make shit like this up. Yeah, it’s JUST like that. Folks, this book takes a loving look at almost every negative stereotype that the oWoD was notorious for, and runs with it, enhances it and gives really good nWoD stats for it. Each one of these is presented as “system hacks” for the game. Examples include Fearful Priapism (look it up if you don’t know what it means- it’s worth it), Mad Ninja Skillz and Fuck Falling. Should you use this product? Well, I can’t take it too seriously and its certainly not presented as such (the tongue has burrowed out of the cheek with its barbed venomous tip- hey, it’s not a system hack but it should be) but for those of us who remember the joys and faults of the oWoD, or who want to emulate some of the more recent action horror films that utilize occult themes, this could be just what you’re looking for. I had a player a few years ago who always wanted to play female assassins- we called it his desire for the porn star ninja recon team. And remember, homoeroticism is awesome. So are lesbian stripper vampires. At least in a game. What?

This book is a love letter to a certain stereotype of White Wolf gameplay back in the mid Nineties. Trenchcoats, katanas, and sawed-off shotguns abounded (and this was even before The Matrix). While it exists as an April Fool’s Day parody it is indeed full of awesome, offensive ideas which I might actually use at the table. The Beast-Rider Cometh optional rule for instance would be great in a Changeling : the Lost campaign. These rules hacks are short and sweet, if you do use them in jest or not it won’t cause any serious arguments at the table, perhaps because you’re all drunk off a case of Four Loko to best utilize this material. This book is seriously amazing. Chuck Wendig delivers the sarcasm lathered on thick and hot. I really could have used it back when I was running a game that included a werecoytote who knew martial arts and a guy who could transform into a dragon-like creature armed with a handgun that also grew to the size of a Howitzer. It could have actually been enjoyable and ridiculous. Don’t be haughty, you know at some time in your extended adolescence you got silly like this. If not, take off that Burning Wheel hoodie and get DIRTY!

Yes, it is largely an April Fool's Day joke and yes, in a practical sense, there probably isn't a lot of legitimate game play here - but the PDF is extremely funny and definitely worth a look on that level alone. The rules (or system hacks, if you prefer) are mostly wildly over the top, but if you wanted to take a respite from the (relatively) serious tone of the World of Darkness line, you could do worse than cut loose with a few deady lesbian, katana wielding stripper schoolgirls.

Life is much too short to forsake the chance for sublime lunacy, at least once in a while.

Advice for those who haven't yet gotten around to reading the (OMFG SO underpriced) $.69 White Wolf "joke" for this year ("Dudes of Legend"): DO NOT CONSUME LIQUIDS WHILE READING THIS! You sinuses will hate you if you do. As will your monitor, keyboard, cellphone, and anything else that you have in the splashzone. No drinky while making with the ha ha's. Then again, I have a seriously twisted sense of humour.

Fun stuff. I can't say anything any of these fine gentlemen before me haven't said yet. I assume this is a taste of that WoD: Mirrors will have to offer, obviously with a bawdy bent. Well done, Chuck Wendig!

My only issue is not related to the book at all, so I won't tarnish its rating because of it. If the product is offered at 0.69, why the heck do I have to pay for a surcharge? But well, I guess putting its price tag at 1.04 wouldn't have been as fun as 69 cents.

It is, in truth, at least as full of genius as of absurdity; and he who does not find a great deal in it to admire and to give delight, cannot in his heart see much beauty in the two exquisite dramas to which we have already alluded, or find any great pleasure in some of the finest creations of Milton and Shakespeare. There are very many such persons, we verily believe, even among the reading and judicious part of the community - correct scholars we have no doubt many of them, and, it may be, very classical composers in prose and in verse - but utterly ignorant of the true genius of DUDES OF LEGEND, and incapable of estimating its appropriate and most exquisite beauties. With that spirit we have no hesitation in saying that CHUCK WENDIG is deeply imbued--and of those beauties he has presented us with many striking examples. We are very much inclined indeed to add, that we do not know any book which we would sooner employ as a test to ascertain whether any one had in him a native relish for AWESOMENESS, and a genuine sensibility to its intrinsic charm. - WIlliam Gifford, 1818

Finally, White Wolf has released official rules so we can all stop arguing about how many dice a bare, hirsute chest lends to a Socialize (or Intimidate) roll and we can start arguing over who ate the last Cheeto. Finally, we can mount up and roll out our grizzly bear tanks in our quest to rid the night of emo vampires and neon trenchcoats. Finally, there is a shit-in-your-pants-stab-you-in-the-teeth fantastic supplement to cover all of those houseruled situations we were mortally ashamed to admit we homebrewed up -- yes, you in your mom's basement with your Mountain Dew and your bag of D10s. You know you statted up war unicorns for your werewolves and slapped hard numbers on the holding capacity of a trenchcoat. Now you can feel less shamed and loserish, because everyone else is going to be rolling out the pterodactyl-riding schoolgirls and stashing Ducatis in their pockets. And it's not weird or nerdy if everyone's doing it.

Also, the supplement's a buck. How much better could it get?
