FATAL is not only bad because of its thematic choices it is also just a legitimately terrible game. Its full of nonsensical, inconsistent rules and die rolls that would make actually playing it a serious chore.
I am 99% certain it was published as self parody and its creator is an Andy Kaufman tier troll.
>30+ players
How does that even work?
It's a toss-up between
>DM tries to force a romance with an NPC onto the party's face to the point where everyone at the table apart from the DM is uncomfortable
>DM spends a whole session trying to make the paladin fall through leaps of logic and pedantry to the point where all the other players tell him to fuck off
Same DM, by the way.
Typical PbP, everyone just does their own thing.
>Public session at a library
>Everyone is in middle school except the DM, whos 20's
>I decide to make a monk named John Cena who uses a ladder as a polearm
>DM loves it and gives me a chair weapon, d12 damage.
>While im gone this one ginger kills John Cena and steals the chair
I never fuckin forgave him, even to this day he literally killed the funniest character in that session just cause his bland power-gaming berzerker wasn't the strongest in the party. I wasn't even abusing the chair for every fight, only for special attacks.
>Batman420: Im in the Batcave and use the computer to look up the demon samle I got from Dante
>TheRealJC: I use my augmented vision to spot Cloud and sneak up on him and ask him "what the hell are you doing in New York?"
>DDDante: waits for batmans computer
>Kam_DuLo: Kam uses his force senses to warn Cloud that JC Denton is approaching him
TheRealJC: . o O (OOC: WTF i already snuck up on him??)
>AmnesiacCloud: turns around and swings at JC!
>AmnesiacCloud: connects
>AmnesiacCloud: seals
>Morlic_Gold_Scales: wakes from my torpor, smelling blood in the air and rousing my own bloodlust
Probably something like that.
Typing that actually made me miss that stuff too.
Wah wah someone killed your childish meme character.
No surprise that you can't get over it.
>party climbs up the mountain trying to discover the source of the strange lights occasionally spooking the villagers down in the settlement at the base of the mountain
>they find a blue dragon sleeping atop a pile of gold
>paladin announces his presence, wakes the dragon
>dragon is described as being fat and lazy, disinterested in the party, dismissive of them as a threat to it
>cleric starts making this long ass compelling speech about how the dragon has been startling the villagers and wants him to stop doing whatever it is he's doing
>fair enough, get ready to reply
>cleric continues talking, goes on into how the dragon should join the party and go help them do heroic things, the dragon would get a lot of wealth and he can sink his current gold pile into the village below as an investment to improve their lives while simultaneously having free ownership and reign over it, making them effectively into a business for him
>okay cool, thats actually not a bad idea, "Human, you-"
>cleric cuts me off, starts talking about how after all the adventures are over how the dragon and he can settle down and get to grow old together, learning eachothers scent and taste and relaxing somewhere in the desert, getting high and petting eachother, "and maybe more" he says with a wink
jesus fucking christ
Best party coming through!
>Laguna from Final Fantasy 8
>JC Denton from Deus Ex
>Dante from Devil May Cry (Not DMC fuck that cockgobbler)
>Kirby from Kirby Superstar Deluxe

SHIT proving myself wrong right now: add steven universe to that.
