Not to be confused with the Tyranid bio-form the [[Ripper]].

'''Rippers''' is a [[Screampunk]] setting for the [[Savage Worlds]] system, pioneered by Pinnacle Entertainment. Players take the role of Rippers; Victorian monster hunters battling against all the collective forces of evil, most prominently in the form of the Cabal - a loose organization of assorted monsters and evil entities united behind the leadership of Jack the Ripper, a fallen monster hunter, and several other famous [[Gothic Horror]] villains. Making matters worse, the Rippers' prime weapon in their hunt is Rippertech - Victorian [[biopunk]] augmentation created by grafting portions of monster bodily tissues and fluids into a human host... a process that could very well damn its bearers to Hell...

There are three games in the Rippers setting; two roleplaying games in two different "eras" of the Rippers timeline, and a miniature wargame set in the first era.

==Two Eras of Horror==
Rippers is divided into two editions, representing different points in metachronology.

The first era is ''The Horror Wars''. This period is covered by the original Rippers RPG game and by the miniature game "Rippers: The Horror Wars". During this time period, the Cabal is in its full power and the Rippers are fighting a desperate, arguably losing battle to hold off the forces of darkness.

The second era is ''The New Dawn''. This period is covered by the "Rippers Resurrected" RPG game. This time period takes place towards the end of the Victorian era, after the sundering of the Cabal by the deaths of its primary leaders; Jack the Ripper and Count Dracula. This has shattered the once-united monster factions of the world, and the Rippers are slowly sliding into obsolescence and decline with few active threats to test their might against.

Multilaser

2601:600:A07F:8FC0:81DE:ADCF:4F1E:8403: /* Multilasers and C.S.Goto */ How is this funny?

[[Image:Multilaser.jpg|thumb|right|A multilaser, as it appears on a Sentinel.]]
“Brrrrrrr! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

-Heavy, [[Hats|''Team Fortress 2'']]

The Multilaser is a medium-sized, rapid-firing Imperial heavy weapon that occupies a middle ground between the [[lasgun]] and the more powerful [[lascannon]]. In contrast to the [[Heavy Bolter]], a weapon to which it is often compared, the Multilaser possesses a similar rate of fire and higher strength but lower armour penetration. As a result it's a pretty good weapon against just about anything that isn't heavily armoured (especially infantry with shitty armour, light vehicles, and skimmers), but it struggles against armoured foes like tanks and [[Space Marines]]. That being said, it's powerful enough to threaten squads and vehicles alike, which is why it's the weapon of choice for Imperial Guard vehicles like the [[Chimera]], the [[Sentinel]], and some variants of the [[Valkyrie]] assault craft, among others. To help you visualize what a multilaser is like, imagine something like a 30mm autocannon firing laser bolts instead of bullets, and you wouldn't be too far off the mark.

==Multilasers and C.S.Goto==
C.S.Goto is a small leper, who likes to masturbate while thinking about multilasers, multilasers and MULTILASERS.
The Multilaser is, by and large, unique to the Imperial Guard; sadly this has not stopped [[C.S.Goto|a certain Black Irish leper]] from completely disregarding everything remotely resembling [[canon]] and [[FAIL|cramming them onto absolutely everything]] due to his raging [[Gay|hard-on]] for the damned things. As of so far, [[AIDS|Goto]] has managed to [[FATAL|rape]] canon in more than a dozen ways using this weapon alone, including giving them to [[Indrick Boreale|Space Marines]] and mounting them on [[Land Raider]]s (and not out of desperation either, this was the chapter's normal crusade-ready loadout). His love for them reached memetic levels, to the point some people joked that a [[Carnifex]] picked one up in his books, and after a while people actually thought the joke was true (after all, nobody wanted to give the leper money just to check for themselves).

And now [[Forge World]] has jumped on the bandwagon by letting Marines in 30k take Rotor Cannons, which are Multilasers but somehow [[What|worse]].
