Actually, having gleaned what I can from the tiny, tiny preview screen, I still think FATAL is worse. I mean, Black Tokyo is all kinds of wrong, and has some pretty screwy mods ("Phallic spear" with 350 ft reach? WTF?), but FATAL was just badly conceived to begin with. At least Black Tokyo doesn't seem to take itself seriously. The guys at FATAL do.
Kit and I found the roleplaying game "FATAL" and have spent the past couple of days laughing hysterically at it. From TV Tropes' So Bad It's Horrible list. The Robe of Redundancy causes the wearer to talk constantly about whatever topic they find most interesting and repeat every sentence 1d10 times. I could only think "Hey, I do that anyway, and I don't need a magical item to do it!" I should probably have been offended, but that was about the only potentially-offensive item of which I'm pretty sure the writer didn't notice the potential offense, so all I could do was laugh. I think I have this Robe od Redudnancy... I didn't know what this thing was, but now I know. And I rolled a 10, lol. Review is here, very not-work-safe: http://web.archive.org/web/20080208091645/http://atrocities.primaryerror.net/fatal.html Ahh, FATAL.I think it actually outstrips Celebrian in terms of sheer horror. I've actually read some of the manual, and it's a nightmare, in every imaginable respect. It's a legendary ordeal on /tg/. But even worse is Black Tokyo, which is similar yet with about half as much again the potency. Are you sure? I have never heard of this Black Tokyo. http://www.yourgamesnow.com/index.php?mainpage=productinfo&products_id=2070 Actually, having gleaned what I can from the tiny, tiny preview screen, I still think FATAL is worse.

Review his http://atrocities.primaryerror.net/fatal.html">here, and very not work-safe. Game PDF is
I'm very curious about it. I'll take a look.
You didn't notice me talking about tall ships again and again? :D
Game PDF file is here, even less work-safe (be warned, it's 977 pages long, it'll take a while to load): http://www.donatebytes.com/fatal.pdf
Apart from the misogyny and unnecessary gore in the contents, I leave you with this quote about it from TVTropes.org: "In order to figure out the results of sex, one must solve quadratic equations."
That's the purchase screen. And if you want to see some examples, the heroic fa/tg/uys on 4chan's /tg/ did an assessment of the thing a while back.

Be warned: this thing is most DEFINITELY NSFW. And also NSFB. The fa/tg/uy snarking helps, but it still hurts.
