[QUOTE="Walter_J, post: 893321, member: 2938"] Worst game I ever played (actually GM'd) was the edition of gama world that used the color coded success/failure/action table (I don't remember what it was actually called.) We played GW quite a bit. We even started developing in-house rules for character advancement, etc... Then I spotted the new (at the time) edition that had rules for characters going up in levels, skills, etc... Couldn't wait to get a game together. Everybody rolled up first level characters, hit their first encounter, and nobody, including the opposition, could do anything. "I do this" roll, fail. "The bad guy does this" roll, fail. "I'll try this" roll, fail. I think we went at it for an hour before giving up. KABAL, got it, read it, and it is still sitting in a box somewhere in my attic. Gets my vote for poorest written RPG ever. Powers and Perils. Loved the character generation system (provided you had a weekend or three to make a character), but, outside of combat and spellcaster, what do you do? I mean, you have all those skills, with skill levels, but how do they work? I know there was a chart in the back of Book I, but after staring at it for years, I'm still not sure how the heck things work. I know Rolemaster static maneuvers were bad (and I played RM for years) but, geeze, at least the GM could figure something out. Lords of Creation. I've no idea what to say about that game. It exits and we tried to play it once or twice. 'nuff said. [/QUOTE]
