Man, am I bored. And yet, amused at the same time...

So, I ask ye, those who have braved the worst horrors that the world has ever known, how willing are ye to experience the horror of the worst RPG ever?

There is a game. This game is called... F.A.T.A.L.

Now, I'm sure a few of you have already run. Good people. For the rest of you...

The Review of F.A.T.A.L.

It is perhaps telling that even the review of this RPG is badly written, horribly maniacal, and full of personal attacks. On the other hand, if even 1/10 of what they have written in that review is true, this is truly an abomination.

Now, I am not one to shy from horrible scenes. I have seen goatse.cx and lost no sanity, I have seen tubgirl and lemon party, and lived to tell the tale. I have even seen the Star Wars Holiday Special, and lived to tell the tale. Alas, I even have a copy of that special, to... persuade people that no, it's not worth seeing. I have scoured the internet, I have braved the worst that the internet has to offer, from furry art with... disproportionate appendages, to horribly, horribly written fan-fiction, to the greatest bigots of the internet, and I am here, hardened but sane.

But even I am unwilling to read even the sampler. On the plus side, the RPG.net thread on the game was perhaps one of the more amusing things I've read in the past week.

So maybe I exagerrate. But I'm still not reading that damn thing...

I think the game is one of things that HP Lovecraft had a nice little category for: "Things Man Was Not Meant To Know"

I salute you, sir, for your courage in the face of the worst the internet has disgorged. I hereby grant you the prestigious Broken Jpeg Award. Wear it with pride!

Hey Lee,
What's the big deal about lemon party?
Oh, and the Star Wars 'special' really wasn't that bad... Then again, I am a 'Bollywood veteran'. Some of the stuff I've had to see... truly frightening ;)

Ah, but did you just see the front page or did you browse the rest of the site too?

You know, I've actually read through bits of the game, and whilst in my mind it's juvinile crap, I don't think I've received the mental scars anywhere near as bad as those I received from furry porn.

It is sexist, and I believe the edition I read had had the more rascist elements removed, and quite perverted, but really...

When you have a bell-curve for vaginal-girth to penis-girth satisfaction ratio, and a magic botch table that involves rolling a D10 six times, you haven't written a game that truely and utterly offends. But you have written something that shows your lack of maturity.

(incidently, for a while F.A.T.A.L. used to be referred to on rpg.net as 'The game that shall not be named' on account of it's authors doing searches for the games title and starting flame wars on the forum)
