''Violence: The Role-Playing Game of Egregious and Repulsive Bloodshed'' is a short, 32-page role-playing game written by Greg Costikyan under the pseudonym "Designer X" and published by Hogshead Publishing in 1999〔(''Role-Playing Game Encyclopedia'' states 1999 for the first release of ''Violence'' )〕 as part of its ''New Style'' line of games. ==Gameplay== ''Violence'' is a parody of conventional dungeon-bashing games, set in a contemporary metropolis where player characters dash from room to room killing the occupants and stealing their belongings. In a style reminiscent of ''Mad'', it is relentlessly user-hostile, taking time out to insult the reader wherever possible (it opens with the words, "Welcome to ''Violence'', you degraded turd") and uses a system where the user can buy experience points for cash from the designer or publisher. Despite innovative game design and exhaustive lists of equipment and weapons (including both belt and orbital sanders), monster types and possible scenarios, it is largely and deliberately unplayable because of an exhaustive rule-set. The rule-set provides information on a range of things related to killing. Weapons, combat styles, and the like are intricately detailed, considering the short length of the volume. ''Violence'' is a rant against the traditional styles of Dungeons & Dragons, ''MMORPGs'', and the ''Grand Theft Auto'' series, written to simultaneously annoy, enrage and challenge the reader. As a game, it is of little value, but is useful as an insight into the mindset of its author and an indictment of an endemic style of role-playing. The cover art was by Clint Langley. A Spanish language edition exists.
