Barbarians Of The Ruined Earth RPG

From the game:

"Barbarians of the Ruined Earth is a weird post-apocalyptic fantasy setting inspired by Thundarr the Barbarian. Throw in a healthy heap of Mad Max: Fury Road and a little Pirates of Dark Water and you’ve got yourself a Saturday Morning Cartoon Stew fueled by heavy metal!

The players take on the role of heroes (or maybe some feisty brigands or profiteers), wandering the Ruined Earth defeating evil Sorcerers, beating the crap out of mutated frog-men, bashing some raider skulls, or wandering through the stinking ruins of an Ancient Earth space shuttle hanger looking for bits of Stupendous Science!"

The setting is filled with puns, the game structured loosely like a television series, and is largely player-driven within an over-arcing campaign setting involving saving a settlement by recovering a lost artifact.

There are pop culture references, terrible puns taken at face value, and tropes taken from the classic cartoons that inspire the game. It gets no darker in tone or style than Thundarr The Barbarian, Pirates of Darkwater, Blackstarr, and similar cartoons did. Cartoon conventions are observed, and the game structured loosely like a television series.
