Worst RPG System You Ever Palyed?

[mcrow]

Palladium is not all that bad. Another one that is reallly bad is Rolemaster, it's nickname "chartmaster" says it all.

Aftermath.

A ruleset so bizarre and poorly put together that it pretty much quashed my interest in what I considered my favortie genre (Post APocalypse) for years.

A different rulesystem for everything, an entire book of gun stats without the names or descritions of the guns included, Mutations so miniscule and weak as to be pointless.

Just a huge, idiotic mess from beginning to end.

I'm gonna say Palladium as well, though I've only played Palladium, d20, and 2e. I love a lot of Palladium's worlds. Heck, the Robotech RPG was my first. But the rules system is just horrible. Too bad Mr. Siembieda is too proud to let anyone convert his games to d20. I think that's because he knows his rules system would find a lot less play.

The FATAL LARP. <shudder> Was a lot harder on my girlfriend, though.

We have a winner!!

Aftermath.

I *loved* Aftermath. I reveled in its quirkiness. We always played 'realistic' post-apocalypse, though. No mutants for us.

Out of the games I've actually played the worst would ahve to be Rifts or WEG D6. Rifts is too clunky, too unbalanced, too everything. The idea of the setting is cool and the setting itself is very good in places, but in others it's just boring. D6 system or "Buckets o' Dice" wasn't too terrible at lower power levels, but when you have to start rolling 6-10 d6's minimum, it just gets out of hand fast.

Rolemaster ranks right up there as well.

I've seen Synnibar and FATAL as well as a few others, but I never played them. Those looked FAR worse that anything else.

Aftermath.

Seconded. How many hit locations on the human body does one need exactly?

Aftermath here too.

I was going to mention an obscure home-grown RPG I played once at a con, but if mr. Rodrigo has actually played a FATAL LARP, I'll retire from the competition since I don't think that can be beaten.
