Let's Sperg Randall Reads a Terrible RPG: Wraeththu - aka Bishonen: The Mary Sueing

[Randall Fragg]

Well gamers, I manged to snag a PDF of an obscure and terrible RPG by the name of Wraeththu, which I've heard is one of the most terrible, mind numbingly bad RPGs ever produced. As this is a forum dedicated to terrible, mind numbingly bad things, as soon as I saw this in a /tg/ repository and realized just what the fuck it was, I knew I needed to read it for your viewing "pleasure". After all, we already have a thread on FATAL, so why not another obscure, terrible game.
So, without further ado, I give you
Randall Reads a Terrible RPG
Part 1 (What the fuck is a wraethulhu?)

Spoiler: It begins

So, our cover is a deviantart picture of a knife, a flower, an unpronounceable name, and the phrase "from enchantment to fulfillment". This is also part of a "Wraethulu Mythos" or something. This certainly bodes well.

Spoiler: Page Three

Right off the bat we get a few things

• This is based of a series of books with titles that sound like Linkin Park lyrics, written by a Storm Constantine. Who is credited with authorship of this book, which makes it a TRUE AND HONEST official product.
• The knife on cover image is from United Cutlery, as is "for ornamental purposed only", and is not recommended for use as a game prop. Something about the mental image of a bunch of Wraethulhu larpers running around with knives, inadvertently stabbing each other, and then crying that "the rulebook didn't tell us knives were for ornamental purposes only" is hilarious to me.
• They needed to include a disclaimer that everything in this book is fictional and that Wraethuthu don't exist in the real world and you cannot "incept" anyone into becoming a Wreaththu. Given that they thought their target audience needed to be reminded of this, I have high hopes for the rest of the book.

We then get to the prologue, which seems to be some sort of SM fantasy, and an accurate depiction of the target
audience of this book:

Spoiler: The first actual content in the game

So, the first part of the damn book is about a fat high school incel who's bullied by those mean old Chad Thundercocks. So, basically the self insert of the writers of this book. There's a text wall of self pity and loathing about how gosh darn unfair high school is, darn sadistic bullies, being too smart, blah blah blah. Also life sucks and a bunch of people are randomly going missing but the police don't care because dystopia or something.
Anyway, Whiny Fag gets jumped by mean old Chad Thundercock and his goons, who are all popular jocks doing the booze and tobaky so you know they're bad guys. They decide to abduct Whiny Fag for one-dimensional villain antics.

Spoiler: dang dirty chad thundercocks

Spoiler: make your own Deliverance jokes

So, Chad Tundercock and the Cockettes take Whiny Fag to the Rape Basement across town, where they try to sell him to an 80s Glam Rocker. Glam Rocker says that Chad Thundercock and the Cockettes will "most assuredly get what he deserves". Oblivious to the fact that Glam Rocker is blatantly telling him that he's going to backstab him, Chad does some generic villain gloating before getting backstabbed.

Spoiler: rest in pepperonis chad thundercock

Spoiler: Glam Rocker

Anyway, Whiny Fag gets turned into an 80s Glam Rocker via Glam Rocker blood transfusion, and goes from a fat incel to a lithe androgynous feg. There's a monologue about how "humanities time is done" and how the Glam Rockers are the next stage of evolution or some dumb shit like that. Whiny Fag is has been assimilated into the Glam Rocker horde, and can only talk in edgy soliloquies. Also, his name is now "Boline, the blade that will usher in a new world".

Spoiler: crawling in my crawls tier writing

So, that was the first chapter of this thing. Already we have learned

• This is a blatant wish fulfillment for the authors.
• The authors think the target audience are fat incels who want to be androgynous glam rockers
• Chad Thundercock sells people to Glam Rockers caus humans are evil
• High school for autistics is basically the holocaust, and the autistics are the jews

NEXT TIME
We actually get some sort of explanation for what the fuck this is, and have the concept of "roleplaying" explained to us like children. yaaay.

 

[Miss Hortensia]

May I provide a tl;dr? I suggest "escapism up to eleven without the actually entertaining parts of roleplaying".

What a nice find.

 

[Lackadaisy]

This is one of my favorite bad RPGs. I even found one of the novels, and it's painfully terrible.

That I abuse Linux shirt is fucking cyberpunk.

Part 2 (Roleplayin? What's That?)
So, after our brief introduction to the exiting world of Wraethulhulu, we get the standard "you're an idiot who doesn't know what a roleplaying game is, here let us explain" introduction.

Spoiler: Introduction

The introduction has a few things I want to note.

• We finally learn what a waethulu is. Apparently they're called hara, and this game contains HONEST CONTENT of an explicit nature.
• Hara are "male and female in one body". So, they're trannies. But this isn't gay because...sex is important in the Wraethulu social structure? Or something? And it's essential to survival? And called 'aruna' cause it's special snowflake sex that's better than normie sex?
• Apparently Wraethulhu are like bonobos.
• for sexual encounters, "a blow-by-blow account is not essential, unless the players are comfortable with describing sexual acts in a literary manner". Something tells me that anyone reading this unironically is probably comfortable with "describing sexual acts in a literary manner", and is probably going to describe them in uncomfortable levels of detail.
• Apparently the writers planned to produce a series of supplemental books for this. Of course, since only about 5 people actually bought the core rulebook, this never happened.
• READ THE WRAETHUTLU MYTHOS BOOKS YOU FUCKING SHEEP! GIVE STORM CONSTANTINE MORE MONEY, SHE HAS GAMBLING DEBTS SHE NEEDS TO PAY!

We go into a bunch of standard, boring information about how to roleplay, what you need to roleplay, blah blah blah. I will give the game credit for one thing though, and that's the flick die. At the corner of most pages there's a pictograph of the various die types, so if you ever get stuck without dice you can just flip through the pages and land on a random die pictograph. That's actually kind of handy.
Now, onto how to improve the atmosphere for your games. BURN THINGS!

Spoiler: BURNANATE!

• Setting fires during your LARPing sessions is fun, but usually ends with the police being called. And they're not going to be satisfied if you claim that the molotov cocktails you've been throwing around are actually just props representing your Fireball spells.
• Anyone seriously playing Wraethulhu should not be allowed near fire. Or weapons. Or household chemicals. In fact, it's probably better if you go around toddler-proofing your house before hosting any Wraethulhu games.
• Apparently not wanting to be assimilated by the Tranny Agenda makes you a bigot.
• Don't use real weapons when acting out your homoerotic fantasy game.
• It's just a game, not real life (the fact that this gets repeated so often has me worried about the mental state of the target audience)
• You need to be a level 15 LARPer before you can use plastic swords and BB guns as props.
• The authors are not responsible when if you shoot your eye out doing something stupid.

After that standard shit is out of the way, we actually get some information on what the fuck this setting is.

Spoiler: advanced wraethulhu lore

TL;DR

• Da evil humans were evil meanies and parasites upon Mother Gaia. So, the earth decided to kill them off with natural disasters and shit. The crops have failed in polluted areas. Diseases killed everyone. The humans tampered in God's domain, and were struck down by the Earth Mother. Blah blah blah standard hippie bullshit.
• Of course, because humans are Chaotic Evil meanies (unlike our SPECIAL UNIQUE WRAETHULHU SNOWFLAKES), all this shit caused them to bomb each other and war over pointless shit. The Wraethuhlu then rose up to overthrow the evil humans.
• 50% of the human population is dead, with no hope of reversing. All those evil humans are being exterminated by the Glam Rocker Ubermensch, but like cockroaches, rats, and jews humans still cling to survival. They're the evil bad guys who deserve their fate, and must be wiped out by the Glam Rockers.
• The wraethulhu are "tall and ambiguous of gender, like the angles and demons of legend", for maximum Mary Sueness. They go around Khmer Rogueing the remains of human civilization, because they are the future or something. They're "both male and female in one body", and spread by transfusing their blood into humans to give them Glam Rocker AIDS.
• Wraethulu sound pretty fucking evil. Destroyers of worlds running around the post-apocalyptic wasteland, wiping out the terrified remains of humanity or converting them into becoming one of The Swarm?
• The Wraeththu started out as some kind of Clockwork Orange youth gang, comprised of people who "felt like they had scores to settle with society, and used their newfound abilities to devastating effect against those they thought had wronged them". So, basically Wraethulhu are a race of Elliot Rogers.
• The Ubermen view humans as worthless vermin to be exterminated, and await the day of their extinction. Such heros. What a lovable player character race.
• Of course, those evil humans use the Master Race as scapegoats. Just because they're immune to the diseases unleashed upon humanity, possess supernatural powers, are genocidal towards humanity, regard themselves as the next step of evolution, and assimilate any humans they capture into becoming one of them makes them the bad guys. So unfair!
• Many humans have fallen back into the superstitions of an earlier time and view the Bishonen Borg as demons. Gee, what could have given them that idea.
• "Wraethulhu have spread across the globe like a virus. It is only a matter of time before all the great cities of the world fall into their hands." Gee, almost like they're the bad guys.
• Humans have a few places where they still have control. Of course, the Wraethuthlu can't allow the untermensch to survive, and have infiltrated all remaining human settlements.
• Wraethulu believe their time is coming, and they are the rightful inheritors of the planet. They "have spread like a plague, raping cities and towns for resources and souls to join the cause. They are the Wraethulhu. Lower your shields and surrender your settlements. They will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to their own. Your culture will adapt to service them. Resistance is futile.

NEXT TIME ON RANDALL READS A TERRIBLE RPG:
Wraethulhu are the pinnical of evolution. They are better at everything. They are spesul and unique. Hail the Master Race.

 

[AngeloTheWizard]

Randall, you're giving me an idea to use some sort of system to represent a group of heroes fighting these "Wraethulu" beings, because from that description, they sound like awesome bad guys.

Fuck, they sound like Genestealers with all the cool bits cut out.

EDIT: Also, you make me want to do a Let's Read of Bellum Maga, aka "Tumblr Wiccans: The RPG" but with some actual cool bits (like Nazi super-soldiers and Snakemen from Mars in a modern fantasy setting).

I kind of want to try and run a one-shot of Wraethulhu just to riff on the setting and shitty mechanics. Have the plot be something like "you need to kill the Bishonen Borg Hive Mind to prevent them from overrunning the world" or something.

The style of the book seems so close to World of Darkness, how close is it to WoD? If it's close enough, good ol' Dr. Angelo might show them how useful a medical degree is on the field of battle. "It's just your arm being chopped off, you pussy, you'll be fine."

 

[Syaoran Li]

If I remember correctly, this RPG was so bad that even RPG.Net hates it, despite having proto-SJW overtones.

I'd like to someone riffing on some other crappy RPG material like Black Tokyo or the material that came out of Black Dog Game Factory (White Wolf's label for 18+ material).

If I can find my old copy, I'd love to do a "Let's Read Montreal by Night" or something like that.

 

[Techpriest]

Black Dog Games released some actually good supplements though, like Charnel Houses of Europe.

Ah yes, Bellum Maga. That's the one where your character can have a flaw which causes her (always a 'her') to have to roll to not murder men, right?

 

[AngeloTheWizard]

Ah yes, Bellum Maga. That's the one where your character can have a flaw which causes her (always a 'her') to have to roll to not murder men, right?

You can take a perk that makes you transgender but instead of making a troon, it lets you shift between male and female, and is the one exception to your "always her" thing. But yes, that is a flaw if I remember right. Which I don't, but fuck it.

That's not even the worst part of it, though. I still remember the "Character class that refers to the WRONG FUCKING POINTS" thing I railed on in my original review. Everything in the game refers to mana, except for one of the classes (either Furie or Harpy) which suddenly talks about power points and requires you to have more power points then any character can start with in terms of mana to use your class powers. Not to mention endless typos and fuck ups in the spell lists.

EDIT: If there's enough interest, I'd happily do a Let's Read of it. By enough, I mean one person wanting to read me absolutely savage the fucking thing.

Go for it. God speed, noble sperg.

 

[Syaoran Li]

Black Dog Games released some actually good supplements though, like Charnel Houses of Europe.

This. Aside from the extremely tasteless artwork (with one infamous image in particular standing out), Montreal by Night actually wasn't that bad. It actually gave a good look at how the Sabbat run their own territories (much like how Chicago by Night did for the Camarilla and Los Angeles by Night did for the Anarchs) , it's just the artwork and some of the NPC's were just dripping with Coldsteel The Hedgehog-levels of edge and grimderp.

Charnel Houses of Europe was legitimately good, and I'll admit I did enjoy Destiny's Price unironically. It helps that I'm a sucker for things like street gangs and mafia/organized crime, which was what half the book was about. Plus, Destiny's Price also had stats for ninjas in addition to gangbangers and junkies, so it's helpful for crime-centric WoD games, whether it be serious like Mafia, silly like Saints Row, or somewhere in between like Grand Theft Auto.

Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand, for all the hate it gets, is actually good if you're wanting to run a deliberately gonzo Vampire game, and both Dirty Secrets and Freak Legion are enjoyable in a "So Bad It's Good" sort of way.

The rest of Black Dog's output was utter crap, though. Unless you count the original Clanbook Tzimisce, which was decent. And that wasn't even originally a Black Dog book, but was re-released with the label after complaints about the artwork. The Revised Clanbook Tzimisce was not a Black Dog book.

Anyway, back to Wraethulhu or whatever.

Randall Reads a Terrible RPG: Part Three
"Literally better at every single thing because fuck you"
Well, not that we have the origins of our Bishonen Mary Sues out of the way, we actually get to learn about their physiology. Yaaaaay.

So, Wraethulhu (or Hara as the book keeps calling them, apparently it's plural for Wraeththlu or something), are a bunch of androgynous, monogendered men with two sexual organs. The book attempts to justify this by bringing up other hermaphroditic species, conveniently ignoring the fact that said hermaphroditic creatures are incredibly simple when compared to the human organism. Also, Wraeththu are the "pinnacle of evolution", because as long as they find another mate they can always reproduce. Two things I want to point out

• I think if anything has right to claim to be the pinnacle of evolution, it's the Tardigrade. Just because you can fuck anyone doesn't mean that you're able to adapt to a changing, hostile environment.
• It flat out states that Wraethuthu are sterile. So much for the "pinnacle of evolution".

Wraethulhu also are immune to every disease, have super healing powers, can regulate the food intake so they never get fat, are far smarter than humans and more psychologically stable, have no gender conflict, and have magic powers. Also, they need to fuck constantly or they get sick. Jesus fucking christ, I bet their shit also smells like rainbows and giggles.

Spoiler: Pronoun Sperging

So, we have a rant about gender neutral pronouns and shit. This is only notable because this book was published in 2005, meaning that this kind of tumblr bullshit was around before Tumblr.

We also get some notes on Inception, which is basically "starve the captive for three days and then shove Glam Rock AIDS in them so they become mutants". This also fixes any physical deformities or malformations, because snowflake magic. This section is boring as fuck, and is ommited for your reading pleasure.

Spoiler: more spshulness

Wraethulu are also much more agile and stronger than humans. They also heal faster, have better senses, live longer, have 6 base pairs (literally nothing on Earth has 6 base pairs, except for some E.coli bacteria in a lab in San Diego), somehow have less genetic information, have better ribosomes, and are basically better in every fucking way.

Spoiler: More of how they're better than humans

As we learn here, Wraeththu don't hate humans, they just see them as ignorant animals that deserve to go extinct for being big meanies. Humans are psychologically flawed and in conflict, unlike the Uberhar who have no short comings at all, except when they don't trust their inner Glam Rocker and have human thoughts. Also, Wraeththu have gal pals.

Spoiler: Cucking is the way of the future

Wraethuthu also have no need for such outdated concepts as sexual fidelity. They're basically bonobos at this point.
Human experimentation is A-OK, as long as it advances the interests of the Uberhar. Oh yeah, females can't become Wraethuthu, because they're literally MGTOW. I'm going to be disappointed if the Glam Rocker Fuhrer isn't Elliot Rogers, because this seems like something he would write. All the men evolve into hyperintelligant Alpha Males who don't need any whore feeeemales.

Spoiler: :neckbeard:

Humans are stupid, and none of them ever sought the Truth. Of course, the Uberhar, with their Magical Girl powers, are much wiser and capable of much better reasoning than the foolish, worldraping humans. They don't need to belive in something to explain the unknown, unlike those human sheeple The unknown does not frighten the Uberhar, because Storm Constantine and her Yaoi-loving Fangirls wouldn't let anything come out of the unknown to out do her Mary Sues. The Uberhar have nothing to fear.
Likewise, unlike the Unterhar, the Wrathuthu know their role in existence, because they are much more wiser and intelligent than lowly humans. Humans are self-important, unlike the God-like Uberhar who are far too intelligent, noble, and wise to be self-important.

Okay, and now we're onto the good stuff. And by that I mean the "what kind of fucked up shit is Storm Constantine into" stuff. That's write, it's Glam Rocker Sex Ed!

Spoiler: Abandon all hope ye who enter here

• The character depicted here is apparently Leatherface playing in his death metal band.
• Uberhar need to fuck each other to recharge their mana.
• Storm Constantine has some sort of incredibly fucked up Yaoi fetish. Like, this is something you'd find in the deviant art horrors thread. (is that old bitch even alive anymore?)
• Wraethuthu have flower penises. Which possess an "inner tendril" which only emerges when simulated by the feminine organs of another Glam Rocker. And "the secretions from the ouana-lim (flower-dick) at this time possess healing and euphoric properties". So, literal magical pre-ejaculate.
• Uberhar have balls, but they retreat into the body when the Wraeththu is the bottom (just like Sonichu!)
• Behind the flowerdick is a "self-lubricating passageway into the body".
• Mixing magic pre-ejaculate with flowerpussy lube makes LSD jizz. I'm not making this up.
• Most Uberhar deny the existence of rape (FUCKING WHITE MALES!), because obviously such primitive practices could only be done the barbaric lesser races.
• Speaking of humans, sex between a Wraeththu and a human is always fatal for the human because Wraeththu have literal fucking acid cum that melts the person from within.

Next time on Randall Reads a Terrible RPG, we learn all about Magic and Shit.

 

[AngeloTheWizard]

Fucking wow. Okay, over in Bellum Maga, the Maga can be pretty damn powerful but Mary Sues they are not, while they can start with one maybe two attributes at the peak of human abilities, they can't break that limit until later on. Going in White Wolf terms I'd be amazed if every Wraethulu didn't start with 5 in fucking everything.

At least in Maga you can make an interesting concept. I came up with a Tech Witch (Aranae class I think) that imbued her spells into tennis balls and duped people into being unwitting bombers. Our games are literal polar opposites and you are a braver man then I, because Maga at least pretends to be about something besides revenge fantasy.

 

[Jaimas]

This is amazing. Ya done good, Randall.

 

[AnOminous]

There's an OC race that is even shittier Mary Sues than chakats.

 

[Techpriest]

These guys are like a hybrid between David Bowie and a Xenomorph.

EDIT: I told you I wasn't joking about the acid cum Randall.

Part 2 (Roleplayin? What's That?)
So, after our brief introduction to the exiting world of Wraethulhulu, we get the standard "you're an idiot who doesn't know what a roleplaying game is, here let us explain" introduction.
