Funny? Hell yeah. But oh so much more. It is rather quite clever; in fact, the humor is pretty high brow with a low brow facade (if THAT makes any sense!). Highly recommended if you are a person who enjoys having fun.
Indeed, there is a wonderful range of humor in the book. Its one of a select few RPG purchases that I have never had the slightest regret about buying, or disappointment about playing.
