Do YOU like Cards Against Humanity? by

(I'll just, uh, wait for those of you who haven't heard of it to educate yourselves.)
Got that taken care of? Thinks it sounds great? Well, I'm here to plug and take requests for:
The PPC version!
You can test-play it presumably through the CardCast website, but I also know for a fact that you can conveniently plug the deck into Pretend You're Xyzzy, which is the most popular online version of Cards Against Humanity. It has literally every card deck ever conceived, and now you can add a PPC deck to it.
Anyone up for a game sometime? Got any card suggestions? Please leave either type of response as a response to this post. Or contact me if you know where to find me. -

BTW, I noticed that you changed the one about typos. I don't think the phrasing "What did the typo cause the Word World to do?" really works, because all the answers are basically phrased as nouns, not verbs, so none of them will make grammatical sense. Same problem with "What did I do with the Sue remains?" and, to a lesser extent, "What do agents spend their little bit of free time doing?" I'd rephrase like so:
Oh no! A typo has manifested __ in the Word World!
How did I dispose of the Sue remains?
What do agents spend their little bit of free time on?
We need to organize an actual game soon. ^_^

Yeah, I couldn't think up a good rewording of those. by

Glad you found some more playable rewordings, though! And yes, we do need to set up a game sometime. We could make another post about it and ask people for their availabilities/time zones, and then decide on a time where the optimal amount of people can join in. It's how I've organised these games in the Shakespeare fandom.

Related: Have you guys heard of Slash, the card game? by

Slash: Romance Without Boundaries. It works pretty much like Cards Against Humanity, except that the goal is to get the "Matchmaker" to select your card for the funniest 'ship. I got to play a little this weekend, and it's pretty fun. *g*
I fully support a PPC version of Cards Against Humanity, too. If I come up with any good ideas, I'll definitely let you know. ^_^

Sounds kind of like a game my brother and I play. by

Except it's really more of a 'play while waiting in line for popcorn' game than something you sit down to play with other people. On the count of three, you name one person and your friend names another. That's the pairing you get to imagine!
I think our weirdest was Doctor Doofenshmirtz/Dobby. -
Canon... sense... tingling. by

It sounds pretty fun/ny, particularly the 'harder' variant where you have to make a story to go with your ship. The inclusion of a rule that you can discard anyone you've never actually heard of is nice, too.
But... argh. I can accept Aragorn's description as '1/32 Elvish on his father's side' as a joke (much like the entirely accurate description of Treebeard as 'doesn't remember what girl trees look like'). But... Galadriel is listed as 'Queen of Lothlorien'. So, y'know, :(.
(Also, I initially thought the name implied it was all male characters, which would have been rather less fun; versatility is always better!)

My friends got me into this. by

I don't like all the dirty cards, and I try to avoid playing them at all (which leads to a difficult end game, where I may have no clean cards left). This has gotten to the point where my friends refer to a non-dirty answer as a [doctorlit's real name] answer when anyone else does it.
Anyway, I'd totally love to play the PPC version once in a while. I made some card ideas at work today; I'm sure some of them are funny to no one but me, so feel free to ignore ones that aren't amusing. Some of them are more general fandom/fic stuff, so you may not want to include them.
Calls:
Miss MacKinnon no longer allows ___ in the Daycare.
Don't feed the trolls, especially not with __.
Last week, __ got mixed into the ___ at the Cafeteria.
I just read a fic that took ___ and turned that into a Digimon.
We've discovered a new species of __! It's characterized by _.
My partner accidentally noticed __ under Luxury's bed. Now, ze needs .
Going against the OFUM tradition, the new fanfiction university utilized mini-.
I finally managed to fix ___ using lots and lots of red ink.
Trivialized .

Then the Sue said, "This isn't even my final __."
The Ironic Overpower loves _.
There are __ spambots at the RC door! They just tried to sell me __!
All Wiki edits that mentioned __ were quickly reverted.
___ are a sure sign of a high rating on the Reality Dysfunction Index.
Agent Sambar cited __, but the Sunflower's Witness countered that with _.
The mystery behind RC 4095 turned out to be _.
During the Poison Joke fiasco, my partner found zirself _.
While the HQ Pool is myth, __ turned out to be horribly real.

Love playing this game, played it a lot with some non-PPC friends last (academic) year, just haven't found the time to this year (yet). IIRC didn't we have a room/thing on Pretend You're Xyzzy for a small bit last year?
