Byron Hall is the author of FATAL. He is known for being a smug cunt who seriously thinks the "M.E.A.N. System" is good
FATAL
Byron's most famous book is FATAL. To quickly reiterate, it's a weird, unplayable mess that mentions rape WAY more than it should, includes a sickening variety of descriptions and rules for almost every mental illness circa 2003, including, you guessed it, a rule where if your character has a certain mental illness, they have to make a Skill Check to not try and rape any pretty person they find. On top of that the system itself, the M.E.A.N. system, is an abortion of a ruleset, you can FREQUENTLY create an unplayable character, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that Chargen is almost ALL dice rolls, the ONLY choice the player gets to decide is their skills thankfully Byron was somewhat aware of this so he made a random character generation tool, that's been broken for years since the website went down, so yea, needless to say his first work sucked ass with the force of a thousand vacuum cleaners
Other Works
The only other things Byron has worked on were supplements for FATAL, so of course they suck, this includes a monster manual, a manual for deities, a setting book called Neveria, and apparently another setting book, but I couldn't be bothered to find it
