As other see me

kent_allard_jr has posted a link to an amazing review of an almost unbelievably bad role-playing game. I'm used to my kith and kin in the tribe of role-playing game enthusiasts being, well, less than perfectly evolved supermen, but the game reviewed here is like taking every stereotype ever attributed to, pathology ever manifest by, or social miscue ever committed by any RPG geek ever in human history, sticking them in blender, and starting the blender with your hand still tangled in the blade.

It's the role-playing game that the Eltingville Comic-Book, Science-Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and Role-Playing Club would play if they completely lost all touch with reality and human decency.

This game alternately saddens and enrages me, and dear god I hope no one ever sees this game and thinks that it's typical of RPGs or the people who play them. But I'm sure that someone will.

With gazillions of RPGs out there, I suppose it was only a matter of time before one was designed by a sociopath.

I doubt it get much attention outside the RPG community, though. (There have been lots of deliberately sacrilegious RPG products, but as far as I know, the only ones that raised alarm bells were Vampire and D&D.)
