Fate chat and game room

You don't have to grind them through X levels before a demigod is a reasonable opponent.

@Problematic has made a thread for suggestions on what kind of mechanics we want to focus on learning more about.

So, Game Name: The Enchanted Forest.

Some days I miss Zork

And on an entirely unrelated note, @Problematic: Baby Movement

Discuss @Problematic's High Noon Western PvP mod on Discourse.

"Irrational Aversion to Bookkeeping" sounds like a great concept album.

"oh, well I have come pretty close to going the wrong way then."

RPG.SE Chat Fudge Dice 1.3 w/ color options. For developers: git repository mentioned in the description.

"You have to do significant quality control when writing something that self destructs" so true.

@Problematic I don't think the elves think that far ahead. But elf children are annoying, so they trade them in for nicer ones!

> You must figure out why your character is going to keep getting involved in these more dangerous things. If you don’t, the GM is under no obligation to go out of her way to make the game work for you—she’ll be too busy with other players who made characters that have a reason to participate.

In Fate, tactics is more likely to mean understanding the situation and making good choices to take advantage of the narrative context.

An excerpt from the captain's log following the same brainstorm we'd tested here.

Last night we had a bar fight. Bar fight +4. It provided passive obstacle to doing anything in it (of +4), and attacked everyone each round (at +4). Including itself. The party invoked placed aspects to make the bar fight defeat itself.

"He has a limp. Now he has a missing eye. Now he's got a hook. Now he's missing a..." Crippled by Surgeon Exposure.

@BESW GM: "You're fighting pirates." Cook: "Cool, I wonder what I should name my boost." Party: 8|

> Combat Chef. When you enter a conflict with a creature similar to something you've cooked before, immediately gain a boost based on your prior experience.

> Cynere has Tempted by shiny things and is touring an ancient museum. I'll give you a Fate point if that makes trouble.

Well, I'm just throwing it in the chat here that I'm interested in participating in a Fate game. It doesn't necessarily have to be GM'd by you.

Every time I try to go to other stacks I am disconcerted by the lack of upkeep. RPG.SE has spoiled me...

I think San Dimas Time is the most efficient solution.

PCs are entropy turbines.

the reason i'm abandoning the analogy is because analogies fall down at a certain point, and when I say "Fate is like lego" I don't know if that means the same thing to you as it does to me, so I might as well just say what Fate really is

So this is up now: unrelated-incidents.obsidianportal.com

@BESW Happy to help but uselessly ignorant :P

The other template is basically "There's a specific story detail you can declare once per session without spending a Fate point to do it."

BOW OF UKTARSH, THE STRONGEST, WHO DOES NOT CARE HOW PEOPLE USE BOWS.

(or I might have something else in +3 but be constantly self-compelled to use Careful)

Dramatic Hiding: You can use Stealth to hide any time you have something to crouch behind, whether or not it's actually blocking line of sight to the person you're hiding from. While in this position you automatically succeed on Stealth rolls to talk normally without being heard.

We Went Over Budget: Once per session you can compel the GM to prevent any monster from directly appearing in the scene.

@BESW good tag, especially for binding together questions from the various fate systems

Thou art summoned, @BESW. Thou art called, @Doppelgreener. Yea, bring forth the FATE gamers to the foot of the Dark Throne, and we shall converse, they and I.

It's not an invitation to a game; it's a general canvass to see if there's enough interest in a game to go further with the planning and organisation. Don't worry about specific invitations or anything.

BESW’s Dresden Files Accelerated Playtest Orientation.

I dun made a Fate blag post on Editing cards. Next comes the programming side: how it works.

Want to break into designing for Fate? Apparently Evil Hat is looking for applicants.

@JonathanHobbs Why you're making it, what inspired it, how you arrived at the design specs/goals, how you chose the systems you're using.

Entries on what you've learned about disability interfaces and role-playing.

(Ultimately, the definition of an "issue" is "something that several characters really care about".)

In this very room, myself and a few other people have run games of Fate Accelerated. The transcripts of those games are booked in this room's Conversations tab. We ran a campaign under the name of The Enchanted Forest - look for the "EF" transcripts near the bottom of the page. You might want to read those.
