  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

FATAL: "From Another Time Another Land" (formerly known as "Fantasy Adventure To Adult Lechery") is a Tabletop Game Role Playing Game by Byron Hall, published by his company Fatal Games in 2004. It's since become a major example of Snark Bait, due in no small part to its content and rules, which feature:

  • Extremely complicated and math-intensive mechanics and charts governing character stats, in-game actions, gaining experience and leveling, and combat. These can lead to questionable, if not outright self-contradictory, results.
  • Many game mechanics relating to body parts and orifices which are better left un-elaborated.
  • Themes of rape-fantasy, racism, GLBT hatred and misogyny; lots of Toilet Humor; and generalized perversity. Even the cover art for the rulebook is NSFW. The original name is another blatant hint at its content.
  • Gratuitous spelling and grammar errors.

The game is best known because of a savage MST-styled review of the rulebook by Darren MacLennan and Jason Sartin on RPGnet. This led to a rebuttal by the creator and one of his contributors.

Not to be outdone, some brave Tropers began a liveblog on the forums. The results are here. (Text not safe for work or sanity)

We're not linking the rulebook due to its content; it can readily be found if you really want to go looking. The game even has an official theme song.
