I just had to share this. Did anyone else know about this?
It's called Bleak World. It's... It might actually be the worst RPG I've ever seen that wasn't personally offensive to me on some level. Think of it as FATAL but with less cocks. This is just a beautiful abortion of a game. It's so bad on so many levels it circles back to amazing. I don't have the faculties to even begin analyzing all the facets of this thing's horribleness, but it's fascinating somehow. It's the proverbial car crush. Dude who made it set up a Patreon, surprisingly earned 0 dollars.
It's a long and sometimes boring read, but damn if it isn't worth it. Just felt like you guys would be able to truly appreciate the depths of the horror.

I mean it seems pretty bad but nowhere near as much as you're making it out to be
this causes me to wonder if this is not some sort of attempt at a reverse psychology shill thread

I just want to be able to laugh at it with other people and most of my group's RPG education begins and ends with D&D.

This cannot be a published game. The formatting is so amazingly terrible.
>>

The FORMATTING is what concerns you? Have you seen the CONTENT?
And the guy put it up on fucking PATREON. He expected people to give him a salary so he could dedicate himself to working on this. This is the Sonichu of roleplaying games.

That's what FATAL & Friends is for.

>>51457005
people can play games about whatever the hell they want
the two things you can judge a game on are; how well written is the rulebook, and how well designed are the mechanics
the mechanics are bloated but not atrocious
the formatting is awful
therefore the main thing to complain about here is the formatting

It looks really derivative, in a very childish way, but that's not, like, FATAL bad. Or even Beast.

Yeah, it's basically just World of Darkness as done by a nine years old. It's actually endearing in way.

Who cares? I'll play a D&D rip-off if it's well designed and fun.

It's not that bad. The weapons list and status effects give it a Final Fantasy feeling.
>>
Then the real question is would you play it?
>>
>>51459113
No? But if I played every RPG I read I wouldn't be done in ten thousand years.
>>
>>51459023
The sad thing is, you're right. Most RPGs are so fucking horridly designed that this game is actually considered okay.
>>
>>51459580
The mechanics are kinda shitty, though. And I can't for the life of me say whether this is intended as a parody of some sort and is just unfunny or if this is somehow supposed to be serious.
>>
>>51456640
This is pretty much just World of Darkness with Princess: The Hopeful thrown in for good measure. What a fucking waste of time.

Thanks, all I needed to know.

>>51461587
Yeah, the book... isn't very well written. There's like a page and half of the rules, setting, basically everything in it than the rest of the thousand pages are just tables and lists of special abilities. And they aren't even interesting, most of them are just variations on "you roll [larger sized die] for [ability]".
