Fantasy Adventure to Adult Lechery is, in theory, an RPG that lets neckbeards live out their rape fantasies. The gaming community has more or less unanimously come to the conclusion that FATAL (aka "The Date Rape RPG...without the dating") is simply the worst RPG ever conceived. There is one documented occurrence of a game played. The rulebook (written by one Byron Hall and a few of his friends, who go by nicknames such as "Torturon", "Burnout", and "Satan") is as terribly mechanically written as it is obsessed with bizarre sexual perversions that make /d/ seem prudish by comparison. It is filled with enough pointless random charts and obtuse rules to deter even a veteran /d/M who has played Rolemaster for years. Quadratic equations are a requirement of most game mechanics. The Anal circumference table meme originates with FATAL. |

[Jason] Sartin: I'll cut in here to say that while being a brain-dead rapist is an important part of the FATAL experience, there are two further aspects that make it the visible-from-space pile of festering associty that it is. —Byron Hall and Burnout's rebuttal of the MacLennan/Sartin review.
|
[Jason] Sartin: So, basically, FATAL is the date rape RPG. —Byron Hall and Burnout's rebuttal of the MacLennan/Sartin review.

"It's not that [in FATAL] women are considered less than men - it's that they are not considered at all. It doesn't seem to occur to the author that women have a viewpoint, that they might have opinions on the world around them."
