''It's hard to be a fan of gaming over the past several years and not know about Penny Arcade, the comic strip that not only skewers every aspect of gaming three times a week but also launched the careers of Jerry "Tycho" Holkins and Mike "Gabriel" Krahulik. After years of taking pretty much every one even remotely involved in gaming to task they've teamed up with Hothead Games to create an episodic RPG-adventure mash-up that combines the vulgar humor that the site is known for with a steampunk aesthetic. The result is a fun, albeit short romp through the PA world of yore with plenty of satisfying battles, hilarious writing and offensive felines.
On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One takes place in the city of New Arcadia, circa 1922, an American 'every town' that just happens to be beset by small fornicating robots, killer mimes, foul hobos and devious clowns. You know, one of those kinds of towns. After creating your character through the slick, but somewhat limited character creation screen, you're given the unenviable task of raking your front yard.''
