The contents of the video are safe for work and contain no violence, although I do display some of the calculated more infamous stats.

This is a demonstration of the character generation system, which creates two characters. Characters are able to choose a profession, which is restricted according to the requirements listed in the ruleset. Character creation is effectively completely simulated under the hood and the amount of input demonstrated in the video matches the totality of player input in character creation beyond rolling the dice and crunching the numbers.

I am currently alternating between working on the magic and combat system. Magic is a nightmare, and requires a complicated corpse looting system which my inventory management is struggling to handle. Fighting I am concerned about how to nullify certain rules while maintaining the purist nature of the project.

The plan is to implement the campaign described in the book, and possible some more creative explorations of the job system and society described in FATAL, while again minimizing more distasteful elements.

If you elevate FATAL from awful to mediocre, is it still worth paying attention to?

I guess of the infamously awful RPGs, it has the most fascinating mechanical mess.

Something like RaHoWa would be pointless and just gross, Wraeththu is just homoerotic world building, HYBRID could be interesting but the mental illness angle is a little intimidating.
