Role Playing products that failed

Bounce the Rubble: The Game of Nuclear Third Strike: This game failed as the combatants had only a few missiles left. And there were no winners, only losers. In retrospect, it does make the grimmest WoD game seem light-hearted.

Bureaucracy: The game of red tape and delays. No one was sure what made for a successful adventure as few people had the stamina to read all the rules, and no one was sure of how to play the game.

Indigestion: The Consumption : Although some of the food supplements were outstanding, the side effects were most unpleasant.

Flush Gordon: The Role Playing Game: The misadventures of an interplanetary plumber and his sometimes heroic antics.

Moss, Mold and Mildew: The Infestation : Few players wanted to play any of the title character races, especially as they had little chance against a rampaging werewolf or a vampire with a cleanliness fetish.
 



AOL the Disconnection Players are repeatedly berated by the GM until one of them agrees to either allow the disconnection of service or to pay for service for infinity.

The Politically Correct Bland Dwarves & Elves, d20 supplement: Traditional neo-dungeon-punk illustrations all the way. All new spells and prestige classes are underpowered to not aggravate balance-inclined customers. He/She and His/Her are used throughout the whole book to describe characters and their actions. Demons and Devils are not featured, and deities/religions are replaced with "personnal convictions". All corridors and tunnels on the maps are 10 feet wide.

It's been done already.
 


Sir, I remember that Spawn of Fashan review in Dragon...as well as the link you just posted. I knew of its hilarity.

While you are no Jack Kennedy, I have to praise you for reminding me of that game!
