''FATAL'': "From Another Time Another Land" ([[Author's Saving Throw|formerly known as]] "Fantasy Adventure To Adult Lechery") is a tabletop roleplaying game by Byron Hall, published by his company Fatal Games in 2004, and has since become infamous as the worst tabletop game ever written. This reputation is founded on its incredibly-complicated and mathematically-intensive mechanics, terrible writing, and the massive level of [[Unfortunate Implications|misogyny, rape-fantasy, and racism]] included. (For instance, it may very well be the only RPG ever produced in which [[O-Ring Orifice|orifice sizes]] need to be calculated.)
 
Most people who are familiar with FATAL became so through the review of it posted on RPGnet by Darren MacLennan and Jason Sartin. As the story goes, Hall and his "contributors" Torturon, Burnout and Psychotic [[Rouge Angles of Satin|Messanger]] of Doom, [[troll]]ed the forums at RPGNet, causing the community there to request a review as negative and abrasive as reviews can get. The review has its own page on this very wiki: [[McLennan and Sartin's Review of F.A.T.A.L.]]
 
If you really want to learn about the game, we strongly encourage that you do so through the aforementioned review, and '''''not''''' through original research.
