It's not even a fucking rpg since *everything* is a diceroll. It's like pen and paper progress quest.Roll for the pen. Also roll for the paper.

[There are people here who've probably never seen the greatest review of the worst RPG of all time.](https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/14/14567.phtml) >There is no God, and the proof of this can be found in a .pdf file from Fatal Games.>I swear to God even the Rimworld guy had more brains than this. Well now I am wondering wtf the Rimworld guy did that has them being mentioned alongside this utter trash of a tabletop system.

My issue isn't with the mechanics; yes, I'm sure that stuff can be modded. My issue is with the idea that I should give my money to someone who will actively defend the claim that I do not exist. Put it this way; if there were no non-white people in Rimworld, and the reason why was because the creator firmly believed that by the time humanity gets to space white people would have "won the race war and exterminated all the scum" would you still feel comfortable giving that person your money just because "I can mod that out"?I actually feel better about having pirated the game instead of paying for it. It also explains why the base game and all the DLC are around the same price and it never fucking goes on sale.

How about some RIFTS?
I absolutely love the world(books) from rights. The system itself is.... Painful. Though playing Palladium RPG did help me to understand how it was supposed to be functional, in some ways anyway. -

Harping on rimworld, One of the most moddable games ever made, for the creator not understanding the depths of human sexuality is a little obtuse to say the least. There are a lot of things that people won't understand and there are so many mods to resolve this it seems silly to expect the creator to "get it". I've been around gay and trans people my entire life but I still don't think that I fully understand human sexuality or our cultural relationships with gender norms. Undoubtedly if I were to architect something like Rimworld I would get it wrong but I hope I would have the foresight to leave an amendment process so that it could be modded into fitting with people's understanding in the future.

Roll for the pen. Also roll for the paper.Could you clarify your instructions? I'm smashing two small loafs of bread together but nothing's happening.

I was tragically born without any common fucking decency (or maybe this is from being an unsupervised child on the early internet) but I’ve also heard the game is just horribly bad and unfun from a game design perspective.

Though playing Palladium RPG did help me to understand how it was supposed to be functional, in some ways anyway.Palladium was foundational to everything in RIFTS and it was clear the overlap was just supposed to be implied knowledge, especially from the later rulebooks.

At this point I feel the rpg culture should be firmly separated again from the mainstream only to have the mainstream stand between itself and this kind of awfulness.

I didn't even get into how the underlying system is abysmally bad even when you try to strip away all the gross shit. Like, stats are generated by rolling 10d100/10-1. Yes, you read that correctly. Then there are five derived attributes generated as an average of four base stats, so if something modifies a base stat you have to recalculate the derived stat, but then those derived stats also set things like your carry weight, so you have to recalculate that and... It's exhausting. Combat is atrocious. There are criticals, but they have no relation to each other, so you can cleave through someone's appendix and their belly button but leave everything in between untouched. Magic requires you to roll to see if you say the words correctly. The whole thing is an ungodly nightmare.

>Magic requires you to roll to see if you say the words correctly. I hate this kind of realism for the sake of realismFATAL is, somehow, simultaneously a masterclass in realism for the sake of realism, and also the most unrealistic game ever made. There is a specific stat for how many words per minute you can speak, a stat for the longest word you know, and a stat for how far back your earliest memory is. But also, the system uses the concept of "humors" as something that actually has real-world effects, has the aforementioned critical system where you can crit individual organs but leave the surrounding organs unscathed, the ability to roll up a 4 year old with B-cups, and all kinds of other absolutely deranged nonsense that has no business whatsoever calling itself realistic. Oh, and if your character's intelligence is low enough, you get to roll to see if they have "R****d Strength". So that's great.
