I once read a Polish collection of stories from RPG sessions. In one of them a goblin merchant NPS was trying to sell a bunch of junk to one of the PCs. The PC response to every offer was "Shove it up your ass". Eventually the DM decided to roll for "amount of space up the NPC's ass". "Goblins get +2, merchants +3, that's +5 in total"
The best thing you can hope for in a game of FATAL is for someone to accidentally (Or better yet intentionally) cast the spell that literally deletes the setting.
The fact that this isn't even a deliberate act, just an accidental consequence of spell casting is both hilarious and remarkably terrible. You'll spend several hours in character creation, enter an encounter, have a terrible role and whoops, there's the universe. Sucks bruh. Need to restart at character creation.
I've never played it either, or actually got my hands on a copy, but apparently my old story guide had and he swore, if we fucked with him, he was going to start incorporating it (into Ars Magica). So, any time we'd get slappy or game-breakingly out of character, it was 'do you want to roll for anal circumference?'
I have played this once with a party of 6 people, yet no one dared to pick Anakim as their character. My first and biggest mistake was to pick a female human. I died to a troll woman who tried to fist me with her foot.
@Smugglerscomedy Yes, "tried". DM rolled to determine the troll's foot size and it came out ridiculously high. My defeated character's ass couldn't take it and was ripped apart. The troll woman got bored and left my character to die from blood loss and sepsis.
This has to be a shitpost, but there's no way any human, sanity disregarded, would put this much effort into a shitpost. 977 pages of copyrighted shitpost.
I remember reading a review of this game back in the day, which contained the best description of it I have ever found: "Burning this book would be an insult to fire."
The fact that nobody can locate or find out anything about the author lends credence to the idea that it was a joke. I personally suspect it might have been more like a group effort. You know, a slap-happy probably drunk gaming group starts making this shit up, it becomes an in-joke, decides to write it up, and then decides they have to make it huge to help convince people it's for-real. I've never seen it firsthand, but I've heard the game mechanics are basically nonsensical, so a lot of it's size is likely padding.
Magic is fun (mostly because its extremly broken). - If I understood combat right, you can cast Seal Orifice three times per round (A round takes 3 seconds in-game, a level 1 spell takes 1 second to cast). Seal both nostrils and the mouth and your target pretty much suffocates. - Invisibility has two spells. The second turns yourself and all your equipment invisible. The first turns only your body invisible, but last indefinitely. That's right, you stay invisible as long as you want (unless something dispels your magic) as a second level spell. - There are spells that improve your stats. I won't go into detail about stats, but if you could live forever then theoretically you can get all stats to 300 (which is the cap). - You can live forever. Just cast Reverse Magic followed by Bestow Decade. Reverse Magic creates a sphere that invertes the effect of every spell cast in it. Bestow Decade biologically ages the target by a decade (meaning it kills you if you exceed your races life expectancy). - Magic is cast by spending Magic Points wich are based on the spells level. So evetually you run out and have to rest. Luckily we have Bestow Magic which increases you Magic Point total, basically allowing you cast an infinite amount of spells. - Every spell in the game has a set of components. These include ingredients (like herbs), gestures or even incantations needed for the spell to work. If you attempt to cast a spell with insufficient components, like misspronouncing an incantation (Yes, there is a chapter dedicated to correctly pronouncing a spell), the GM can rule a Spell Failure. - Should a Spell fail, you have to determine a random spell effect. For that you roll a d1000 and d10 to see which of the 2000 possible effects accures. Among these effects is every spell in the game. So there is a 1/2000 chance you actually cast the spell you failed. Or you get the FATAL spell which erases all life in the universe and ends the campaign. - I said every spell has special ingredients necessary for its casting. For a fast amount of the spells you actually have you roll for them (there is a lot of rolling in this game). You might have to sacrifice a virgin to a dragon on an altar to cause your breasts to grow a cup size (I wish I was making this up). And mind you, all of the above can be caused by a level 5 caster class (Out of 20).

I read this book with one of my buddies in voicechat in our discord server last year. It was the best and worst of times, with much "What the fucK!?" and "Why is this a thing?". You didn't even mention the Cursed Jar of Masturbation or the Cursed Stone Dildo of Impregnation. Fuck, I wish my mind did not hold this information.
"Each player of a female character may, at their option, determine the Hymen Resistance of the character by rolling 5d20. A 100 means she was born without a hymen. Every time a male inserts his Manhood into a female with an intact hymen, he must roll 1d100 to see if it breaks, and it may only break once. He must divide Manhood Circumference by Vaginal Circumference Potential and multiply the quotient by 100. Apply this modifier to the roll. If the result exceeds her Hymen Resistance, then it was broken. If it breaks, then blood seeps from her vagina." I mean... I don't even know if that's a joke or not at this point...
@@valivali8104 Well, seeing as you commented three months ago, you may have already seen it, but in case you haven't: ua-cam.com/video/gwj7Uq_4OKA/v-deo.html Have fun with this one.
**Eye twitch** But why though? Why would anyone make this? It's like Slaanesh and Nurgle had a baby, and then gave it to khorne to beat as a child, and it had a Tzeentch as a therapist. This system is just VILE.
I recommend looking up a particularly infamous review from RPG.net as well as Byron Hall and Burnout's rebuttal. Apparently most of the content was intended to be historically accurate (even though it has Elves and functional magic). However, the author decided to mix a load of elements from Ancient Rome into the mix (such as the criminal justice system) and included a lot of things (such as armour which turns the wearer into racist stereotypes and a spell called Force Fart) for the sake of having "controversial humour". Pretty much everything about your character apart from their sex is handled with dice rolls too.
@@tempestfennac9687 yeah and the historical accuracy is so obviously a thinly veiled excuse when the largest proportion of spells are only effective for the express purpose of the rape of women by men. Going by folklore, the spells should serve the european view of a practicer of the occult (a woman, probably unmarried and knowledgable of herbal medicine and midwifery, either too old to have kids, or viewed as sexually promiscuous) but no, it's all love potions that only work on women. for all his realism, and his hundreds of pages of weird magic items (mostly similarly creepy) he missed that he factors breast size into the calculation for sexuality so only women with small breasts stand a chance of being bi or gay (a human woman with cup size equal to or greater than C is literally 100% likely to be heterosexual). Also the description of what the lowest possible speech score sounds like is 'gay' which obvs means an effeminate accent i guess, but do ineloquent women also sound like gay men? that doesn't sound realistic. Also, 'retard strength' is realistic enough for him, but actually creating a world than anyone but a rapey incel on a power fantasy would want to like in would shatter realism. He quotes eugenics books as sources.
@@dot620 I mean... from what I see, this has everything a total creep of a weeb/nerd would want in a game. Unnecessary german, medieval europe fantasy, overexplained sex (mostly non-consensual, often done by hideous, dumb brutes), causal racism veiled by the thinnest amount of realism to give an excuse to shitpost people who disagree, etc, etc. Like... most of that stuff is either what you find creeps liking, or what you find adult (as in the writer is an adult, not adult fiction) fiction writers make fun of as their teenage idiocy.
Seriously, why not just make them cambion? Like Merlin, the guy who was actually from Celtic myth instead of literally the Torah that Byron specifically stated he would exclude from the game world's real life inspirations?
>child-eater translated to German for no reason to make them sound scarier Yep, sounds like an American thing. Was holding out hope before seeing that copyrtight notice, a small part of me was afraid my country had produced this.
Well the "Kinderfresser" is an actuall Germanic Mythological creature, its was kind of the Boogie man, there to frighten children in to behaving. (The version here seems to be excactly opposide). Doesnt make the RPG any less repulsive thought.
@@ameier5570It's much worse than just encouraging children to misbehave. The kinderfresser's appetite and powers are specifically geared toward _virginal_ children...
The worst part of this game, aside from the racism, sexism, constant references to SA, etc., is that the system is simultaneously too detailed and not detailed enough, basically all the detail is in the wrong spots. Character creation takes 8 hours and 400+ rolls, but combat is like 3 pages long. There's very detailed rules about pregnancy and juggling for some reason but most of the jobs are incredibly menial that only have 1 associated skill when they should have several (for example fisherman only has fishing as a class skill as opposed to fishing, sailing, swimming, barter, etc.). There's graphic rules for urinating and what happens when you try to put something too large into a hole but over half the races have like 4 job options. In all ways but literally it's unplayable
Anal circumference is the meme FATAL is known for, but let's be honest here. Despite what you heard of FATAL sex-related stuff is only a small fraction of the rulebook. There are so many details and descriptions that just a list of all weapons takes 3 pages and at least two dozen following the list are descriptions of each and every single weapon. This is why this book has almost 1000 pages. It lists and describes EVERYTHING, from physical features, through abilities, drugs, government types, professions to settlement types. One of the first lines in the rulebook is "The most difficult, detailed, realistic and historically/mythically accurate role-playing game available." The author wasn't joking.
this reminds me of an entire other review on F.A.T.A.L, the video's as far as i can find are gone now but it was quite funny, the person did the whole review a good 5 or so parts all to make an "The Aristocrats" joke at the end, shame the videos are gone now and as far as i can tell the channel too
I find FATAL to be very interesting in just how bad it is. In my opinion, there is a place for edgy games, but even in that regard, FATAL is a complete failure: -Randomized player background and professions, which make it unlikely the players will even be able to afford weapons. -Ridiculously long player creation, with rolling to randomize minute details about their character which kind of takes away the edgy fun (45 minute+ of rolling and averaging rolls is probably not something edgelords would like, especially when it makes their edgelord oc might be completely underwhelming in particular attributes) -Battles tend to be over quickly, and players can be easily killed. -Penalties to female characters' stats, discouraging players from trying to make edgelady PCs. -Waaaay too much edgy stuff. Possibly because it's nearly 1,000 pages of material. -And there's probably a lot of failures I don't even know about, since I've probably only read at most 1% of those pages. End result is that the Not Important edgelord-type might have to sit down for most of an hour and end up with a wimpy edgelord PC that knits baby clothes for a living. I also feel that there's a place for low-fantasy medieval simulation but FATAL fails in that way too, and not just because of how edgy it is.
@@TA-by9wv I didn't specifically choose those as the worst aspects, but merely ones that I remember that kind of ruin the potential for fun. I have no doubt there's far worse aspects in the nearly 1,000 pages of text.
@Eddie Donovan sure for women with less physical stats, but it must be made up for some other way to discourage people from playing as a female altogether
Sseth, you made another persona, didn't you? Wasn't Mandalore enough? jk aside, you're getting a sub from that style of yours alone, my fellow man of culture
I've skimmed the fatal rulebook a few times over the years for laughs, and the one thing I always remember is the spell 'Have her cadaver', which was a great pun. The spell does what you assume it does in a game like this.
Ah - you chickened out just after "Orifice Circumference"... Like how about all the spells. All the casting requirements... All the magical items, like the odd and unique magic armors... The Jar of .... well it puts "Chucky" into that world. And if lucky will get to the F.A.T.A.L. spell...
I was on rpg.net when they first tore into this 'masterpiece'. You are missing out by not reading some of the horror that is the magic spells in this game.
8:03 reminds me of the "Myth Adventures" books by Robert Lynn Asprin, where female Trolls behaved like... "Trollops"! also, i just remembered an old story i read where they were doing BDSM roleplay, and their "safeword" was "Gor Sucks"!
I always thought it would be fun to play FATAL as a sort of "be the only pure thing in the universe" game. Basically, be as much of a paladin as you can be in FATAL. Pick a god from DnD as a failstate, where if you would fail your god in DnD, you outright lose in FATAL, with whatever fun flavor text matches up the situation nicely. Alternatively, do a run where you try to redeem the world. You fail if you stoop too low.
I'm in an RPG design discord where designers and publishers get together and make new games. Whenever someone new asks for the best examples of what not to do, we point them to 2 examples: A) D&D B) FATAL
Nukestarmaster It mainly gets pointed to because D&D is the popular one and it tends to create a lot of assumptions in new creators that great contemporary games have shed, so it's always good to get people to return to the game and scrutinise it. It isn't the worst game by any means, but there's a lot to be learned from flaws like flat probabilities from the D20 and race bonuses creating de facto best classes for a given race. It's alright, but in an alternate universe where D&D didn't exist, it would not become popular were it created and released in 2019.

I'm sad that you didn't even mention that it's possible to accidentally struggle snuggle someone, and if you hit someone in their abdomen, you have to roll to see how many poo chunks fly out.
The best part of the game is the meme, particularly if you play any kind of strategy game: "ROLL FOR ANAL CIRCUMFRENCE!" Though, everytime I or someone else say it, my Nihilisim slowly but surely goes up each time.

From what I can tell, basically, it's a no holds barred RPG where "I roll to seduce the dragon" suddenly gets a HORRIFYING new meaning.
One of the magic items makes you sexually irresistible to all dragons within 100' of you, so rolling isn't even necessary
Roll to suduce the dragon? Congrats, youre the bottom/
_Seduce_ the dragon? As the author infamously commented in response to a review, "Where is dating included?"

it's actually very holds barred 😭

I read this book with one of my buddies in voicechat in our discord server last year. It was the best and worst of times, with much "What the fucK!?" and "Why is this a thing?".
You didn't even mention the Cursed Jar of Masturbation or the Cursed Stone Dildo of Impregnation.
Fuck, I wish my mind did not hold this information.
3:15 I paused at various intervals and found "hymen resistance"
...Aight cool
"Each player of a female character may, at their
option, determine the Hymen Resistance of the character by rolling 5d20. A 100 means she was
born without a hymen. Every time a male inserts
his Manhood into a female with an intact hymen,
he must roll 1d100 to see if it breaks, and it may
only break once. He must divide Manhood Circumference by Vaginal Circumference Potential and
multiply the quotient by 100. Apply this modifier
to the roll. If the result exceeds her Hymen Resistance, then it was broken. If it breaks, then blood
seeps from her vagina."
I mean... I don't even know if that's a joke or not at this point...
@@hey_imriver It is not and how dare you even _imply_ that it isn't 100% serious

making FATAL second edition, who wants join me
NO thanks I would rather play warhammer40k Slaanesh mode.
I'm in. Let's ruin the world a bit more!
Technically this is the 2nd ed. There was an earlier release with less art and the acronym was Fantasy Adventure To Adult Lechery
Do not stare into the dark abyss sir, such depths should not be plumbed for their dark knowledge
Im calling the FBI
**Eye twitch**
But why though? Why would anyone make this? It's like Slaanesh and Nurgle had a baby, and then gave it to khorne to beat as a child, and it had a Tzeentch as a therapist. This system is just VILE.
I recommend looking up a particularly infamous review from RPG.net as well as Byron Hall and Burnout's rebuttal. Apparently most of the content was intended to be historically accurate (even though it has Elves and functional magic). However, the author decided to mix a load of elements from Ancient Rome into the mix (such as the criminal justice system) and included a lot of things (such as armour which turns the wearer into racist stereotypes and a spell called Force Fart) for the sake of having "controversial humour". Pretty much everything about your character apart from their sex is handled with dice rolls too.
@@tempestfennac9687 yeah and the historical accuracy is so obviously a thinly veiled excuse when the largest proportion of spells are only effective for the express purpose of the rape of women by men. Going by folklore, the spells should serve the european view of a practicer of the occult (a woman, probably unmarried and knowledgable of herbal medicine and midwifery, either too old to have kids, or viewed as sexually promiscuous) but no, it's all love potions that only work on women. for all his realism, and his hundreds of pages of weird magic items (mostly similarly creepy) he missed that he factors breast size into the calculation for sexuality so only women with small breasts stand a chance of being bi or gay (a human woman with cup size equal to or greater than C is literally 100% likely to be heterosexual). Also the description of what the lowest possible speech score sounds like is 'gay' which obvs means an effeminate accent i guess, but do ineloquent women also sound like gay men? that doesn't sound realistic. Also, 'retard strength' is realistic enough for him, but actually creating a world than anyone but a rapey incel on a power fantasy would want to like in would shatter realism. He quotes eugenics books as sources.
@@dot620 I mean... from what I see, this has everything a total creep of a weeb/nerd would want in a game. Unnecessary german, medieval europe fantasy, overexplained sex (mostly non-consensual, often done by hideous, dumb brutes), causal racism veiled by the thinnest amount of realism to give an excuse to shitpost people who disagree, etc, etc.
Like... most of that stuff is either what you find creeps liking, or what you find adult (as in the writer is an adult, not adult fiction) fiction writers make fun of as their teenage idiocy.
@@tempestfennac9687 So basically you're saying that the shitlord that made this was also an edgelord supreme?
@@maximgun3833 I could say that, but "Edgelord supreme" incinuates he's actually good at being one and I'm not willing to give him credit for that. :P
The author claims, that the whole setting is european, but the names of the Anakim are all out of myths from the near east...
Seriously, why not just make them cambion? Like Merlin, the guy who was actually from Celtic myth instead of literally the Torah that Byron specifically stated he would exclude from the game world's real life inspirations?
>child-eater translated to German for no reason to make them sound scarier
Yep, sounds like an American thing.
Was holding out hope before seeing that copyrtight notice, a small part of me was afraid my country had produced this.
Well the "Kinderfresser" is an actuall Germanic Mythological creature, its was kind of the Boogie man, there to frighten children in to behaving. (The version here seems to be excactly opposide). Doesnt make the RPG any less repulsive thought.
Don't worry, Germany remains a moral paragon historically.
Germany has done nothing wrong.
@@ameier5570It's much worse than just encouraging children to misbehave. The kinderfresser's appetite and powers are specifically geared toward _virginal_ children...
Everyone remembers anal circumference potential.
No one remembers vaginal depth potential.
Shame.
The worst part of this game, aside from the racism, sexism, constant references to SA, etc., is that the system is simultaneously too detailed and not detailed enough, basically all the detail is in the wrong spots. Character creation takes 8 hours and 400+ rolls, but combat is like 3 pages long. There's very detailed rules about pregnancy and juggling for some reason but most of the jobs are incredibly menial that only have 1 associated skill when they should have several (for example fisherman only has fishing as a class skill as opposed to fishing, sailing, swimming, barter, etc.). There's graphic rules for urinating and what happens when you try to put something too large into a hole but over half the races have like 4 job options. In all ways but literally it's unplayable
It's because the game wasn't really made for combat. It was a sex pest's fetish put to paper.
Anal circumference is the meme FATAL is known for, but let's be honest here.
Despite what you heard of FATAL sex-related stuff is only a small fraction of the rulebook. There are so many details and descriptions that just a list of all weapons takes 3 pages and at least two dozen following the list are descriptions of each and every single weapon. This is why this book has almost 1000 pages. It lists and describes EVERYTHING, from physical features, through abilities, drugs, government types, professions to settlement types.
One of the first lines in the rulebook is "The most difficult, detailed, realistic and historically/mythically accurate role-playing game available."
The author wasn't joking.
this reminds me of an entire other review on F.A.T.A.L, the video's as far as i can find are gone now but it was quite funny, the person did the whole review a good 5 or so parts all to make an "The Aristocrats" joke at the end, shame the videos are gone now and as far as i can tell the channel too
This whole video is a roller coaster from start to finish
I find FATAL to be very interesting in just how bad it is. In my opinion, there is a place for edgy games, but even in that regard, FATAL is a complete failure:
-Randomized player background and professions, which make it unlikely the players will even be able to afford weapons.
-Ridiculously long player creation, with rolling to randomize minute details about their character which kind of takes away the edgy fun (45 minute+ of rolling and averaging rolls is probably not something edgelords would like, especially when it makes their edgelord oc might be completely underwhelming in particular attributes)
-Battles tend to be over quickly, and players can be easily killed.
-Penalties to female characters' stats, discouraging players from trying to make edgelady PCs.
-Waaaay too much edgy stuff. Possibly because it's nearly 1,000 pages of material.
-And there's probably a lot of failures I don't even know about, since I've probably only read at most 1% of those pages.
End result is that the Not Important edgelord-type might have to sit down for most of an hour and end up with a wimpy edgelord PC that knits baby clothes for a living.
I also feel that there's a place for low-fantasy medieval simulation but FATAL fails in that way too, and not just because of how edgy it is.
@@TA-by9wv I didn't specifically choose those as the worst aspects, but merely ones that I remember that kind of ruin the potential for fun. I have no doubt there's far worse aspects in the nearly 1,000 pages of text.
@Eddie Donovan sure for women with less physical stats, but it must be made up for some other way to discourage people from playing as a female altogether
@@viracocha6093 Great name.
I think one of the worst aspect a side of the luckfest that the game boiled down to, its the fact that the game wasn`t edgy enough.
@@TA-by9wv why would you want to simulate anything accurately if the goal is to be edgy?
0:54 *Vive check*
0:55 You failed the check so hard his hands got swapped
You know, I ask my players the same three questions at the start of my games.
9:40 Look, for all of FATAL's flaws, that is the most TTRPG method of killing someone I have *ever* heard.
It is pretty great, won't lie.
Sseth, you made another persona, didn't you? Wasn't Mandalore enough?
jk aside, you're getting a sub from that style of yours alone, my fellow man of culture
I'm surprised I haven't seen more comments like this
What I would give to see Sseth review RPGs :P
I've skimmed the fatal rulebook a few times over the years for laughs, and the one thing I always remember is the spell 'Have her cadaver', which was a great pun. The spell does what you assume it does in a game like this.
I do not wish to know that.
I have run two separate "lets build a character" threads about FATAL on /tg/.
I've seen a few of those. No one ever makes it all the way through.
We tried, but everyone gave up in frustration after 10 minutes.
EVERYTHING up to the circumference seemed like a gag... Now I'm scared
I broke my mouse by smashing the sub button too hard after I've already came twice from the pure rasp of your voice.
Oh no. I know this game from /tg/. you fool what have you unleashed
This is positively depraved. I genuinely have no words to describe this.
Ah - you chickened out just after "Orifice Circumference"...
Like how about all the spells. All the casting requirements...
All the magical items, like the odd and unique magic armors...
The Jar of .... well it puts "Chucky" into that world.
And if lucky will get to the F.A.T.A.L. spell...
I was on rpg.net when they first tore into this 'masterpiece'. You are missing out by not reading some of the horror that is the magic spells in this game.
Can't believe he didn't even mention the jar of jacking off, the most bizarre, pointless, and abnormally *specific* item I've ever seen.
Byron Hall was snapped up by slanesh.
I could believe it.
Who do you think have him inspiration for the system
The Dwarf thing actually sounds kinda legit about historical beliefs about dwarfs. Surprisingly
Though in those stories dwarves were elves aka about human-sized fairies who lived underground and/or crafted masterful, usually magical, items.
@@valivali8104 Elves in German Mythologie are Alfs and Dwarfs are Twergs!
They are not the same ;-)
The guy who made this should be thrown in solitary confinement, we don't want the other inmates to get uncomfortable.
We should feed him to the Booty Warrior.
I only found out this was real today, and can only pray - im not even religious - this was made as a joke that got far, far out of hand
8:03 reminds me of the "Myth Adventures" books by Robert Lynn Asprin, where female Trolls behaved like... "Trollops"!
also, i just remembered an old story i read where they were doing BDSM roleplay, and their "safeword" was "Gor Sucks"!
I always thought it would be fun to play FATAL as a sort of "be the only pure thing in the universe" game. Basically, be as much of a paladin as you can be in FATAL. Pick a god from DnD as a failstate, where if you would fail your god in DnD, you outright lose in FATAL, with whatever fun flavor text matches up the situation nicely. Alternatively, do a run where you try to redeem the world. You fail if you stoop too low.
@Lance Clemings Why not just cast the FATAL spell being as that would destroy the whole world? :P
@@tempestfennac9687 pretty sure that one is a randomized result of miscast. It is luck basex

Edit: "Roll for circumference" needs to be a meme. Now.
It already is, welcome to /tg/
Roll an equation to see if you stab someone in their ovaries. I read this entire book once and oh boy.
I'm in an RPG design discord where designers and publishers get together and make new games. Whenever someone new asks for the best examples of what not to do, we point them to 2 examples:
A) D&D
B) FATAL
What parts about D&D do you point to as not to do?
Nukestarmaster It mainly gets pointed to because D&D is the popular one and it tends to create a lot of assumptions in new creators that great contemporary games have shed, so it's always good to get people to return to the game and scrutinise it. It isn't the worst game by any means, but there's a lot to be learned from flaws like flat probabilities from the D20 and race bonuses creating de facto best classes for a given race.
It's alright, but in an alternate universe where D&D didn't exist, it would not become popular were it created and released in 2019.
@@teslobo Yeah, I can easily see that. I have a lot of gripes with D&D, particularly 5e since everybody is playing that nowadays.

Why the fuck do I keep coming back to this video?
I have actually read the F.A.T.A.L. corebook and I theorized that it is actually an edgy satire on the DnD Satanic Scare during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Hahaha ha.... no.
@@ZevolveZ It's just a theory that I thought of and we will probably never know because the company doesn't exist anymore and the creator's internet footprint is nonesxistant at this point. The game is also so complex that it is nearly impossible to play.
@@neoqwerty Wait there is a second edition of FATAL? I didn't know that and I thought this was all some dark edgy joke not a legit game.
@@chihuahuaman917 I'm old enough that I read all the stuff back when I was a tiny internet baby before things started vanishing and it was glorious but yeah. It was serious and the creator got legit offended and managed to get banned from RPGClassics AND Giant In The Playground by flying into skreeee-ing rages whenever someone told him FATAL sucks on his many many attempts to plug and sell his game and telling a head mod from GitP to eff off for scolding him. You might actually be able to pick up Byron Hall's GitP trail, now that I think of it...?
The first edition has "Fantasy Adventure To Adult Lechery", the second has "From Another Time, Another Land" as its subtitle. There's minor differences in content and the second edition was proofread and tried to repair originally broken mechanics. Some brave soul on I think Angelfire or Geocities actually made a full list of differences but that site's gone and I can't remember what the site was called to check the Wayback Machine for it.
@@chihuahuaman917The second edition is the one in this video. The "first edition" is the unfinished beta they made first, which featured magic armor that turned your character into racial and ethnic stereotypes
I just spent like, 3 hours going through the PDF laughing my ass off
Just so you know, originally F.A.T.A.L. stood for "Fantasy adventure to adult lechery".
Chaos worshipper I hope you are really proud over yourself witnessing what happens when you worship slaanesh but to be honest if Byron Hall was close to me I would not minde going "Blood for the Blood GOD!!!"" on hiss ass
