I'll have to add my voice to the chorus of "Rolemaster". My experience with that game lasted literally about five minutes. It was a very long time ago, but I seem to recall the exchange going something like this:
DM (kicking off the first session): You’re standing outside a great pyramid. A dark entrance looms before you.
Player (me): I go in.
DM: As soon as you cross the threshold a trap goes off!
Player: Umm. OK.
DM: Roll for damage and possible crit.
Player: <Rolls>
DM: <Frowns as he looks at crit table.> It looks like your arm just got blown off.
Player: My character immediately decides that adventuring isn’t for him after all.
Thus began and ended my Rolemastery career.
