With titles by such creators as Geoffrey Hayes, Jay Lynch, Dean Haspiel, Eleanor Davis, and Mouly's collaborator and husband, Art Spiegelman, Toon Books promotes its line as "the first high-quality comics designed for children ages four and up."

Toon (role-playing Game)
''Toon'' is a comedy tabletop role-playing game in which the players take the roles of cartoon characters. It is subtitled ''The Cartoon Roleplaying Game''. ''Toon'' was designed by Greg Costikyan and developed by Warren Spector, and first published in 1984 by Steve Jackson Games. Development Jeff Dee came up with the idea of creating a role-playing game based on cartoons when he and Greg Costikyan were talking with several other designers about genres that no one had designed game systems for; although they agreed that such a game would be impossible to design, Costikyan designed ''Toon'' a few years later as a full game with the assistance of Warren Spector. Style Although ''Toon'' is a genuine role-playing game requiring the participation of players and a game master (called the "Animator"), it is designed with a tongue-in-cheek style that deliberately parodies many of the conventions of more standard, "serious" role-playing games. In ''Toon'' the player characters neve ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
