He's up to Book Four.
Torg Potter and Giblets of Fire, I believe.
Also, Sean and Thomash (how we miss ye, Thomash) turned me on to Order of the Stick a while back. Have you read? Awesome gaming humor comic.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

SUCKTASTIC.
With an endorsement like that I think we've found our next game. Maybe we can play it on Kloogewerks.
High school was the last time I played aftermath, it's doesn't surprise me that it actually sucks.

This is digging into the dark recesses of my backbrain, but I seem to recall that Morrow Project was surpassed in useless technical detail in the name of "realism" only by Cyberpunk 2020: Friday Night Firefight.
Which, I will tell you, was NO GODDAMN FUN WHATSOFUCKIN'EVER.

I've seen it linked.
Any fans of the Metal Gear Solid series should check out The Last Days of FOXHOUND. Really hilarious.

I played both Aftermath and Morrow Project in high school. I don't remember the rules at all, but I do rememberhaving fun. I'm sure the fun was *despite* the rules, not *because of*.

I remember having fun playing a number of game systems in high school that were pretty sucktastic.

Well, yeah. I mean, if you're playing with decent folk...
I recall Morrow Project was played with Rollee Hibbard and it...sucked.
CP2020 was played with Comic Book Jack. And it was...SO MUCH NO FUN.
Almost as bad as Comic Book Jack's attempt at Vampire: The Masquerade.
Granted, the V:TM badness was largely because Jack could not conceive of the concept of a vampire who wasn't an effete elitist "creature ov ze nnniiiiiiggggghhhhttt" and wasn't remotely interested in his place in the Prince's esteem. But he resorted to the Standard Shitty GM Tactic #1: "You can't do that."
And then I walked away.

I remember playing a really good Champions campaign in high school, and those first edition rules weren't the best. I also had a fondness for first edition Paranoia. That was a frelled up gaming premise, and gaming system.

Yeah, I remember that V:TM game, Joe.
Or rather, I remember Jack talking a lot about the story, and I remember no actual playing ever. Jack didn't really seem to need players for his story.

Paranoia could almost not help being fun.
