What would you say was the worst game you ever played?
For me it was Vampire. I loved the book, and the whole concept,
but in all actual games I played in I was bored to tears. I just
can't seem to get into it.

character generation, and a lot of the superpowers were, so far as
any of us could figure, about as useful as a dead turnip. (It was
partly the gamemaster's fault, as he had no idea what to run. And
made us all run characters based on ourselves. We were so bored one
character walked next door to the 7-11 and robbed it, just to roll
some dice. IIRC, we all died in a shootout with the police.
Thankfully.)

The "play yourself" was explicitly part of the rules; your
first
character was to be based on you.
OTOH, we had a blast playing V&V; some of my best superhero
characters
were generated in that game.
Worst game I ever played in... a sorta homebrew game in
which the GM
would let you do pretty much anything... but you had to be
changed to this amazing super-race of his invention
eventually... and no matter how badass you were, the NPCs were
infinitely more awesome, so your awesome characters mostly stood
around and watched the GM's NPCs do everything.

Then we'll blame that on Mr. Dee, instead of the gamemaster.

Later editions were, from what I understand, better.
That's really not a problem with the game system, but yeah, bad,

bad game, of the sort that you only bother with once. Then you find
something more entertaining to do, like stab yourself with a fork.

I thought it was a great idea and I've done it in at least
six or seven
campaigns over the years. Most players liked it too.

I played only first edition AFAIK; I didn't GET new
editions until I
supported the kickstarter.

Well, when the GM's assumptions are literally baked into
the mechanics,
I'll blame the game too. :)

Although it shouldn't be considered an actual "role playing game," the worst game I ever played was the World Wrestling Federation role playing game. Basically, whomever gets initiative the most wins. (I suppose playing Colonel Ninotchka didn't help,
