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*.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
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.

Much like somebody else we could mention and his home-brewed system.

The computer knows all. The computer is your friend. It is illegal to belong to a secret society. You must belong to one. Ah yes.

"What is your mutant power?"
"I don't have a mutant power, Friend Computer."
"All citizens must have a mutant power."
"Oh, in that case, my mutant power is to levitate small cubes of cheese to a height of no greater than four feet."
"MUTANT! YOU MUST BE DESTROYED!"
"*sigh*. Yes, Friend Computer."

I've got a warm fuzzy feeling now.
