The worst game I've ever PCed had a lot of potential to be cool. Essentially, our DM had us spend a few weeks making PCs for an Eberron game. Then all the NPCs sounded the same and the world was pretty much falling apart. We then woke up in a lab in like... 1860s(?) NY. It could've been really fun, but at that point he was like, "I'm sorry guys. I actually have nothing prepared and can't run this game."Worst game I've ever run (I've made 'really bad DM moves' back in the day, but I tell myself I don't do those so much anymore) was an intentionally satirical game. The villains were an order of bards known as the singers of sorrow. They would sing/scream songs that bemoaned life. Then people who heard these songs would bleed from the ears until they mindlessly followed the bards as undead. There was a hidden temple with a magical conch (that every PC pronounced as conCH) so then the PCs put a giant mask on the wall and called it Olmec. A PC also decided (after defeating the singers of sorrow) that he needed a zombie monkey... so that happened. The PCs also took over the town guard and started a guild of sorts whose secret base was the hidden temple. I think they also renamed one of the guildmembers Kirk Fogg. Basically, everything was a parody of something and if the PCs wanted to do anything, they just had to try... assuming the dice went in their favour - it happened.</blockquote>
