It Came From the Late, Late, Late Show is a role-playing game published by Stellar Games in 1989.

Description

It Came From the Late, Late, Late Show is a humor/horror system in which the PCs are actors in bad horror movies come true.[1] There are many skills, a combat system, and many monsters.[1]

Publication history

It Came From the Late, Late, Late Show was designed by Bradley K. McDevitt and Walter H. Mytczynskyj, and published by Stellar Games in 1989 as a 56-page book.[1]

Reception

Lawrence Schick comments that "the rules are really secondary to such guideline sections as 'Acting Appropriately Stupid' (explaining why you shouldn't run away when you suspect there are blood-sucking monsters around) and 'Crummy Endings' (tricks for the GM to pull when a scenario goes wrong, e.g., 'Suddenly the sun rises and all the monsters shrivel up and die')."[1]
