[QUOTE="Mortaneus, post: 117947, member: 485"] I happen to be a big fan of GURPS and Champions, both of which I think are so far superior to D&D that they're in a completely different league. But that's neither here nor there. The REAL question is what games are so bad as to be UNPLAYABLE? I'd have to say the following: Dragon Ball Z - Fuzion system: For crying out loud, if you follow the rules, then the average person can punch a car and have it explode into pieces. In addition, if Goku did a Keyoken x3, he'd die. Also, there's no way many of the characters could throw their most powerful attacks, because 3d6+100 still isn't enough to hit the required rolls to toss them. Finally, you can instantly kill any character by spending the energy to act twice, fly up to them and punch them, thus dropping their energy deflection, and then hitting them with a huge energy blast, causing them to go *poof*. F.A.T.A.L. : See previous commentary. Dragonquest: Ahhh!!! AD&D with a lot more gratuitous rolling. GURPS Goblins: Inspired setting. Interesting to read. I don't think anyone would ever run it, though. It's just too odd. Spawn of Fashan: Ask Piratecat about this one. As for the palladium system (rifts) , while it might suck, at least it's playable.
