FATAL

That's the "Chastity Belt of Cursed Impregnation." And worse yet, the character will have girl babies!

Fuck FATAL raw with a drill. Seriously.

(screams in horror)

I'm having a flashback to having read the rulebook!

(rocks back and forth in corner, in fetal position)

I remember reading this like it was yesterday. Sigh...

Dear God. I just read the entire thread. You all deserve Purple Hearts. *bows in reverence*

"Congratulations! You have acquired a random mental illness"

A lovely line from the FATAL character generator.

So, hi. I've been reading this thread and returned to it today. And I acquired the character generator...

I decided to roll a human male character, otherwise really random. Then, I decided to roll the lowest "sub-ability", namely Language, it went 59->137.

• You have acquired egomania
• Your character is a young adult
• most attractive feature: Chest
• most repulsive feature: Hair (which is brunette and medium thickness, wavy)
• random facial Feature: Protruding upper lip -Perceived as egocentric, showing greater concern for self
• sexual features: manhood length, 8.10", circumference 6.41", tongue 2.00", areola diameter 1.50", heterosexual
• debauchery score 84
• But I'm ethical (99) and moral (96)
• I'm also sanguine melancholic
• My name is Baldric Sankey
• Age 27

here

So... Egomaniac

Over a period of (5 + 1d100) months, the character experiences an inflated opinion concerning their abilities, as well as exhibiting extreme self-interest. This causes significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

Whenever a character is afflicted with egomania, they must behave as though they believe that each of their sub-ability scores is 2d20 points higher than what it is. An egomaniac is disinterested in others.

I'm also confused by that bodily attractiveness; it's at -10 but the most attractive feature is still my chest.

I noticed (on PDF page 198) you can roll d1000 for peasant occupations, I got 863 => messenger. Oh no! I can't be a messenger because my physical fitness is only 109 (required 110). New try: 392 => bah, boring farmer.

But! I have no money to start with and can't read, but my vocabulary is on the "Contumacious" level due to high language score.

I admit this selection doesn't sound really bad but I've browsed through the whole of the PDF...

...AND I rolled another character right after the first and got an infant (2 years old) who has two silver pieces, is unhappily married and whose dirty blond hair is thin, balding & frizzy. At least he's a legitimate child and can do addition in his head.

FATAL: TV Tropes's 'Nam.

Ecept, for some reason, we stay here. Willingly.

And instead of arms and legs we lose pieces of our mind.

More like TV Tropes' Narm.

Take this. You've earned it.◊

I think we're all still just trying to make sense of what the hell we were doing here.

So...hypothetically speaking, if one were to be insane enough to want to make a character for the game, where would one find this character generator?

Here you go.

I'd hate to double post... but have to preserve this. This Thread will show it's mortality soon...
