comment |
World of Synnibarr is a tabletop role-playing game, the brainchild of one Raven c. s. McCracken. For most of the 90's, the game was considered by many gamers to be the worst role-playing game ever, but nowadays it has ceded that title to F.A.T.A.L., which is awful for altogether worse reasons (Synnibarr, for all its absurdity, at least doesn't pander to unrepentant misogynists).The setting is an intense fever dream of science fiction, dark fantasy, comic book superheroism, and other over-the-top elements, with wars lasting for tens of thousands of years and a huge assortment of acid trip monsters (only one example of which are 72-headed hydras), all of whom are living inside a hollowed-out planet Mars that has been converted into a colossal Worldship.Online reviews of it can be found here, here and here. |

Game-Breaker |
| | World of Synnibarr (Tabletop Game) / int_2536f695 |
comment |
Game-Breaker: This is presumably the entire point of the game. A typical Synnibarr campaign will feature any number of moves that would be gamebreakers in an average RPG, but since this game's power level is so high, here such power-gamer antics are just part of the fun. Pelleum, a metal 11.5 times as dense as steel, costs $1000 an ounce. A 2.7 lb, 1" ball of pelleum for use in a sling? $1. Cybernetics add their hit point total to your character's hit point total. In other words, you can drop $5,000 dollars for 50,000 life points at level 1, hitting the mortal cap. Ain't No Rule saying that you have to pay the extra cost for a Pelleum arm blade when you spend skill points. |

After the End |
| | World of Synnibarr (Tabletop Game) / int_334e48a1 |
comment |
After the End: Before Numenera, this game held the record for "greatest number of long-forgotten cataclysms in one place ever". Synnibarr even began with a cataclysm, as it is actually the planet Mars that was transformed into a Worldship to move humanity away from a doomed Earth. Then, over the next 50,000 years, Synnibarr's own civilization collapsed multiple times because of internal conflicts, alien invasions, and plagues. Today, few adventurers know much about Synnibarr's whole history... but there are all kinds of ruins for adventurers to explore (and loot). |

There Is No Kill like Overkill: Characters without armor can get splattered very easily in this game, given that mortal-level beings are limited to 50,000 life points and the worst attacks can do hundreds of thousands or even millions of damage. |

Authority Equals Asskicking: Post-mortal characters get higher up in the divine hierarchy as their levels climb. |

Elemental Crafting: A prominent feature of the game, and for the intrepid player, yet another source of what would be game-breaking power in an ordinary RPG. |

Rules Lawyer |

comment |
Rules Lawyer Rule Zero of every role-playing game is supposed to be either "The GM is always right" or "The rules shouldn't get in the way of the story", right? Not so in the World of Synnibarr! The GM is required to write his adventure notes down before the game begins, and then show them to the players after the adventure is over — and if the GM deviated from his written notes, the GM is required to award them bonus experience points. Worse still, the rulebook states that the GM "may not, however, deviate from the rules as they are written, for if he or she does and the players find out, then the adventure can be declared null, and the characters must be restored to their original condition, as they were before the game began." As such, rules-lawyering is openly encouraged in this game. Any GM can tell you that avoiding either of the above is flat-out impossible, unless you put the whole thing on rails. |

Unskilled, but Strong: Giants and strong monster races can fall under this, being able to dish out high amounts of melee damage even at low levels. |

Ain't No Rule saying that you have to pay the extra cost for a Pelleum arm blade when you spend skill points. |

Alien Invasion: Over Synnibarr's history, six attempts to conquer the Worldship have been made by malevolent forces. Two of them were alien races who were ultimately driven away. |
