There's worse, you can ask the denizens of the gurochan. Also, Mai-chan's daily life, which we have a trope page on.
Honestly, I'm not shocked anymore because the *chans have already made it impossible to shock me.
The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!Honestly, maybe I'm just jaded, but Rapelay's horribleness seems a little overblown to me. Yes, it's about rape, but it's still just bumping and grinding until one or more units fills its bar, including the victim.
Mai-Chan's Everyday Life, on the other hand, can certainly scar the Hell out of your psyche. As bad as that is, there's still stuff worse than that.
Honestly, Naru Taru hit me about as hard as any guro might have.

Rapelay was far from the first. You'll find this one on any top X worst 8-bit game list.

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."Well, just reading the Something Awful stuff back when they actually did those things when I was much younger, they covered all sorts of rape porn.
Kinkajou: If Byron Hall is a Slaanesh cultist, he's not very good at it. Slaanesh's job is to make all kinds of vice and atrocity attractive. Did FATAL actually make you want to do anything other than brutally dismember Byron Hall? Didn't think so. It's an extremely inept Slaaneshi cultist who ends up sending more servants to Khorne than to anyone else.

"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaHey, I just noticed something: Can FATAL be just a pun on its authors name?
In Byron Hall's world, any "hero" is a Byronic Hero!
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."In the hope of resurrecting this discussion... ...today's fun little balance issue is the effects of added height. I rolled an ogre 10" higher than the ogre average - since the Ogre average is nine feet, that's about a 9% increase - and it added something like 200 points to his Strength. That's the same as the bonus for being an ogre.
And then the Abyronation tells us that a high weight usually means you're fat, then makes it give you a strength bonus anyway.
...Oh, and I started looking through the random magical effects and ingredients. It destroyed me. Repeatedly. Until there was nothing but the hatred. Focused into perfect clarity.

By the way, I noticed 1d4chan (the /tg/ wiki) has a few
kind words
on it
too...

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."Umm... I don't see anything that could be considered "kind" being said in those pages (in fact, "horrible" and "infamous" seem to be the most common descriptors), and I don't see anything in the current history that says it was changed from something that was. The -4 Str page only mentions FATAL in passing.

If you want to quote me, go ahead.
I don't think Rapelay would make a good liveblog, though, considering the reviews I read about it. As far as I know, it's basically waiting for bars to fill up to hit a climax, and checking off different things to get 100% Completion.
FATAL has 900 pages of crap to write about, but the reviews I read could cover Rapelay in a page or two.
