| ==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 [[What|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, [[derp|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

| ==Byron Himself==
| |
| Some info that's been gathered about Byron:
| |
| *He apparently has a hot wife, who did some of the drawings in the first version of FATAL
| |
| *He's a grammar Nazi
| |
| *he's been playing RPGs since 1980
| |
| *He seems pretty adamant about not agreeing with the stuff in FATAL, like the rape and mental illnesses, and just put them there for accuracy sake
