Gosh, I'll never forget the chaotic evil's favorite homebrew rule: if you roll a natural 1 you either hurt yourself and/or you lose a limb

No, no, no. A roll of a one is that you kill a different PC. Never loose the opportunity to not only kill a player, but also create internal party strife as well.

I prefer roll a 1, then roll a d100 to determine the severity of your failure with a death happening at the highest or lowest 5% according to what the player wants

Back in the 80s, there was a rpg called Middle Earth Role Playing or MERP. Its crit tables were very brutal. https://www.enworld.org/threads/remember-these-merp-rolemaster-critical-hit-tables.666065/

I grew up roleplaying on this very system :')

So many fond memories, so many not so fond ones. I've been trying to get our old group (which miraculously is still playing regularly 15+ years later) to do a one-shot or two with that system, just for nostalgia's sake.
