[QUOTE="alaric, post: 126697, member: 296"] I really think alot of you are confusing "games i don't like", with "bad game design". I would have to say that Champions, GURPS, Shadowrun, Rifts or Amber may not be your style, but that doesn't make them bad games. In fact i don't see how you could possibley consider them the worst RPG ever unless you simply have not seen some of the true horrors of the RPG industry. Go take a look at FATAL, Synibar (sp?), or Spawn of Fashan. These are the games that looked like the monkey's at typewriters approach to game design. They are so bad you have to wonder if it isn't a joke, and you can't tell which is worse, whether someone might actually be attempting to create a game like this, or that someone would spend that much energy on a joke. You may not like strict rules, loose rules, no die, tons of dice, whatever, but at least half the games mentioned so far make internal sense, and there are people that actually enjoy playing those games.
