Editing Lamentations of the Flame Princess (section)

== So What's It About? ==
LotFP would probably be a shoo-in to fit all your horror-style metalhead retroclone needs, if not for the fact that the creator was such a smug, unlikeable cunt. Seriously, he's basically the result of a dangerous experiment to distill all the worst aspects of /tg/'s neckbeardy nature into a single individual, while filtering out all the likable charm and class and replacing it with the lingering bitterness of a douchebag who can't move on from a bad breakup, and his superior, insulting tone and free-floating resentment seeps into everything he writes. Without fail, the adventures he writes begin with like five pages ranting about how much he hates people who prefer other games and systems, people who prefer ''his'' game and system, people who treat tabletop RPGs as ways to have [[fun|"fun"]] and enjoy themselves instead of SRS BSNS, etc. On top of that, most of them are either deliberately designed to be cruel jokes for the DM to play on the players ("''Death Frost Doom''," "''The Monolith From Beyond Space and Time''"), or just plain unfun exercises in torturing them for daring to think ''they'' are the main characters rather than the DM ("''The God That Crawls''," "''Death Love Doom''").  Virtually none of them have "winning" scenarios attached to them, just to drive the point home. He also likes to make cheap meta jokes with the module titles, content, etc. - often while including elements that violently punish any '''players''' who have the temerity to make their own. 

Of course, there is a certain kind of player that finds this sort of unfair, trial-and-error, ''[[Tomb of Horrors]]'' bullshit to be [[Old School Roleplaying| part of the game's charm]].  If you can filter out the Raggi, it's not ''unplayable''.
