[QUOTE="maddman75, post: 889409, member: 2673"] Not only is FATAL the Worst RPG Evar, it is the worst possible RPG. No matter what kind of crap gets put out in the future, we'll always be able to say 'at least it wasn't as bad as FATAL'. And no, the fact that its free in no way midigates its craptitude. The $20 or $30 I'd spend on a worthless system is much better than the loss of SAN and hope for humanity that I suffered while reading FATAL. Not only is it racist, mysogynistic, and sophomoric, but it has horrible, mind numbing mechanics to back it up. Such as 4d100/2 -1 to roll stats, and there's a 1d10,000,000 roll in there somewhere. To make it even worse, the author defends all these horrid features as 'realism'. People were racist and mysogynistic in history, so he makes his game as if all people are that way. He defends the mechanics as being needed for a 'realistic' game, though he cleary has no real understanding of game design or stastics. Not only am I angry that I wasted time reading it, I am angered that any member of my species took time to read it, much less write it. The author claims to have players, who will occasionally pop into online Fora to defend it, but many suspect these to be alts. [/QUOTE]
