I'd play it if we were in the same timezone. For cheap, sick, disgusting laughs.
An useless name, a forsaken connection....This game doesn't actually have a plot, though. Or much of a setting. Just dicerolls.

I will keep my soul in a place out of sight, Far off, where the pulse of it is not heard.Well to be fair, tabletop games don't come with a plot, do they?

I hope you get tiny bits of eggshell in all your omelettes for the rest of your life!To answer the question waaay back...
You know those egg things that take your dead skin off and collect the little powder in a compartment? Make some bread, using that powder as flour.
That is a skin loaf.

@Tzetze: just mosey on over to Metaplot.
Tbh, it has a plot..you just have to SQUINTREALLY HARD for it. Metaplot also, referenced by someone, works. Still, it's kind of difficult to call this even a 'game.'...I'd be hard pressed to call this anything other than an Eldritch Abomination.
Though, there is one thing that's good about it. And that's that you learn math from it!....
...Well ,you do learn a lot of math from it, since there is a lot of math involved..or do you..well..I'm not really sure anymore, frankly. It has dicerolls, math, quantum physics, and cloacas. Rape, too. Rape as Drama, or Rape as Comedy, whicheverway you choose to look at iiit..
If life gives you lemons, make grape juice, and sit back, while the world wonders how you made it.Solving quadratic equations governing orifice diameter is only math in the sense that throwing apples at somebody is physics.
I will keep my soul in a place out of sight, Far off, where the pulse of it is not heard.I'm with Nornagest - using FATAL to teach maths is like teaching chemistry by making GBH, or biology with the kind of really nasty porn that would make /b/ wince.
Just finished that and wow is that appallingly bad (more like the antithesis of anything possibly quantifiable as good but I digress).
I'd have to say teaching math with FATAL is like teaching people about the nervous system by exposing them to sarin and asking them what it shuts down as they die a gibbering death. For the first and only time, I'm going to thank slaanesh for immunizing me to squick from the written word.
The thing that got me though is the usage of phrases like "from your last sodomy victim". It isn't that the rules spend a prurient amount of time on the depraved sex that really bothers me, it's the implicit statement that the reader is that screwed up as well. Okay, they're playing FATAL, but goddamn.
Stuff like that immediately scuppers their defense of offering 'choice'. Add in the effects making your choices for you, and the game mechanics alone are offensive enough to make the game bad. It was moderately fun to read you guys mocking it for being a grade A atrocity against taste, fun, the vaguest conception of moral thought and all but the most depraved examples of humanity.

I say we find a way to transplant this monster into FATAL.
There's no space in the name.BAD REQUEST INVALID HOSTNAME
Sakamoto demands an explanation for this shit.Odd. It works fine for me.
There's no space in the name.I decided to make a song about the Random Magical Effects table. Here's the lyrics.
RME! RME! RME! RME! RME! RME! RME! RME!
Whenever you cast a spell, RME!
Randy gay ogres are RME!
Oh no, they saw us, RME!
When you don't have any life, RME!
Even in a cockfight, RME!
The Anakim is dead, RME!
There's no way!
RME has defeated the party!
Still raping, RME!
If you roll the wrong die, RME!
And now corpse-fucking, RME!
I forgot to breathe, RME!
RME! RME! RME! RME! RME! RME! RME! RME! RME! RME! RME! RME!
Suddenly, from behind, RME!
This curse hurts, RME!
If you pick up a cup, RME!
Every three days, it's RME!
Whore, move out! That's an RME!
Big brother and I, making cloacas!
But still, this ogre is in high spirits.
Saitama, Saitama, RME!
Byron, Byron, RME!
Burnout, Burnout, RME!
Douman Seiman RME!
RME! RME! RME! RME! RME! RME! RME! RME!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. We already put an ogre there in advance.
Definitively. RME.
There's no space in the name.Heh. Amusing.
An useless name, a forsaken connection.I think we should seriously try to make a better version of FATAL. I say we call it FATAL: Revised And Purified Edition.
There's no space in the name.But what parts would you keep, besides the name?

Really, any system (except possibly RaHoWa and Hybrid) can handle any setting better than FATAL.
