What am I in for?

A well-beaten horse corpse

>this shit is not only published but has two addendums

Decent fantasy setting with unplayable mechanics that destroy the game. Basically you wasted your money.

Elaborate please

Wasn't there stuff like having to maintain a proper amount of vitamins because otherwise your character will get sick and die?

People bought it just because it's made by Varg, but Varg is apparently delusional enough to release more material for a game that no-one plays and functions more like novelty item.

In depth swimming rules

I admit I didn't read through the whole thing because the system was just stupid and overly-complicated. Reminded me of ancient autistic tablefest games like Rolemaster. It has been scanned and has been shared on Veeky Forums, but I don't sadly have the link now.

Thirty posts of Varganon bumping over and over with quips about "y-you must be a butthurt libtard if you don't like this game", followed by thread deletion.

23 times in self defense

WE WUZ VIKANGS AN SHEET

All kinds of fail and stupid.

>when someone bumps the thread with a reply to the OP but the poster count doesn't increase

You can't bump your own thread mate.

>You can't bump your own thread mate.
That's incorrect.

You have a five-minute cooldown between windows of being able to bump your own thread. If you make a thread, wait five minutes, and post in it, the thread will be bumped.

Can you faggots explain what so bad about it or you just gonna keep memeing?

/pol/tardery, coupled with an overcomplicated mess of rules. Also the creator steals oxygen from the rest of us.

>the creator steals oxygen from the rest of us
Your opinion is biased, I'll wait for someone else.

Basically, the creator (actual name: Kristian; made-up name: Wolf Vikingguy) only played a couple of RPGs in the 1980s-1990s, so he has no idea what makes a good game due to lack of experience and lack of breadth of knowledge. MYFARGO is basically a 3d6-based AD&D clone that uses a lot of pointless tables (swimming in a lake in a mild breeze vs. swimming in a lake in a light breeze) to add the appearance of crunch. Nobody on Veeky Forums actually gives a shit about the "evil not-Jews" or "evil not-Christians" in the fluff; the biggest insult is the fact that the game is so monumentally boring from a mechanical standpoint.

Of course, it doesn't help the game's image that Varg and a couple of trolls tend to repost the same thread every week with a "Now that the dust has settled, what does Veeky Forums think of MYFAROG , I was unaware that this exact thread was spammed every week, I swear."

And now let us all bask in 30-odd bumps of "you're just a butthurt libtard for not liking this game".

This is basically /thread, except it might as well be /threads.

>Nobody on Veeky Forums actually gives a shit about the "evil not-Jews" or "evil not-Christians" in the fluff

I give at least half a shit. It's pretty fucked up to make an "educational" game for your kids where the blood libel was totally true, and all those medieval pogroms were totally justified, to punish the wicked Jews for kidnapping and murdering Christian babies in their dark Satanic rites.
I mean, that's what he wants to teach his kids? That shit's messed up.

I also half a shit but for the other side of the coin. I don't see why I should let a fucking viking pagan wannabe diabolize my culture.

Add those together, and we give a whole shit! But don't bump the thread, user. Pagans love herbalism, so give 'im the sage.

your culture is a cancer that should be eradicated

>being so upset that your name is kristian that you need to make up a "true" viking name
When LARPing goes too far.

But user, he doesn't want to kill the Jews because they kill Christians. Why, he wants to kill Christians too because they introduced monotheism and so ruined the completely perfect society of Germanic paganism.

It's a completely different madness, user.

One down, 29 to go!

Not that user, but half the stuff about Meshugalahmen is basically just "things medieval Christians believed about Jews".

Remember, only faggots post in MYFARGO threads without saging.

It's a difference that makes no difference. I didn't say "Kristian wants to kill Jews because" I said he's repeating the old medieval hysteria thing about Jews murdering babies in secret rites, which was used as a reason for Christians back then to kill Jews.
What I said about Kristian is that he's put this in his "historically accurate" Viking simulator to teach his children his batshit crazy worldview.

What happened to all your sacred trees, Kristian ?
What happened to the trees ?
Tell me what happened to your trees, Kristian !

I have a question for the people who defend this system: Why should I play it? If we're supposed to ignore the creator and his worldview, what purpose does MYFAROG serve outside of that? What does it do better than the dozens of other OSR games on the market, or AD&D?

Addenda.

A shitty AD&D spinoff with over complicated rules.

Role master wasn't bad once you got to the table. But level up was excruciating just because of how many numbers had to be updated.

You are in for living as Varg.

some of the blood libel incidents probably actually happened

Riiight, because Jewish scripture tells them you have to slaughter a goyim baby before you're allowed in the club.

Go to bed and stop bumping your shitty game's thread, Kristian.

Pulled straight from Wolf Vikingguy's magical pagan butt.
