Would be hell to play, though, there’s definitely better horny RPGs to try

My issue with horny RPGs is that if you can find people to play with that are into whatever kink the book is catering to, why would you bother to play at all? Just have sex.

And on the flipside, if you dont want to have sex with the people you’re playing with, why play the sexy game? Just play a regular RPG

Yeah the issue with F.A.T.A.L. isn’t just that it’s text and mechanics are horrifically racist and misogynistic, it’s also a terrible game. It’s clunky and clumsy and it’s difficult to play because it’s poorly written. The author spent more time thinking about his rape fantasies than figuring out how to roll them out in any coherent way.

Also, very minor in comparison, but the food section is batshit wild. It’s like written by someone who never ate before, the ideas of what makes cuisines in F.A.T.A.L. is hilariously bad.

I played a horny rpg at a kink convention that went fairly well. I suppose the nuance to the situation was “I probably want to have sex with you, but I’m not sure, why don’t we engage in some nerdy sexually charged situations and find out?”

Tagging this as NSFW would have been appreciated. I filter those things out for a reason

Yup, sorry about that, I wasn’t sure if it qualified, but I’ll keep that in mind for future reference, apologies.

Yeah, the dildo in the middle of the table pushes this one over the top

“If you want to make a racist and misogynistic game, at least make it fun” - Gygax, probably

Shit. Forgot about that. <br> I need to pay a lot more attention to what I post

I’ve really got to go to conventions more, I hear of so many novel things going on.

Sexually charged, though otherwise usual situations are also just a lot of fun.

I would argue that just flirting around with friends is like, a top 10 experience ever.

the issue … isn’t just that it’s … horrifically racist and misogynistic, it’s also a terrible game

It’s funny, but it seems like I read this phrase a lot, and not just about games (book series, movies, shows, etc). I can’t think of any other good examples off the top of my head, but it seems that every time an artist takes a really cool or interesting concept and fills it with bigotry, they also fill it with poorly written mechanics, potholes, clunky dialogue…

Sure, there’s media with language that doesn’t age well, but it seems like 9/10, when something is made with blatant hate, there isn’t even an incentive to try to push past or ignore it; the content is garbage with or without the drivel. The initial concept is just good enough to get people to want to give it a shot.

A lot of old stuff is super racist and well made. The Birth of A Nation was revolutionary in film and influenced many future movies despite literally being a movie about how awesome the KKK are. Lovecraft was famously racist as fuck and a lot of his “Eldritch horror” was sort of a metaphor for his fears of “primitive” religions and miscegenation. Even Lord of the Rings has racist elements - JRR Tolkein said in multiple occasions that he based the dwarves on Jews, which is pretty rough to modern readers given that the dwarves are more obsessed with gold and treasure than anything else.

Actually, there aren’t any attacking mechanics because Racial Holy War is actually a very pro-peace and pacifist peace of work, didn’tcha know?

There’s another all-time-worst game called Racial Holy War, which is exactly what you’d assume from the title. And yes, it’s incompetently made to the point where they didn’t include mechanics for ATTACKING.
