@MikeQ May I ask why you capitalize the game's name?
MikeQ
@BESW I've seen it written that way sometimes. Is that incorrect?
BESW
Or maybe that would be better to address in a side chat.
"FATE" originally stood for "Fudge Adventures in Tabletop Entertainment" and then "Fantastic Adventures in Tabletop Entertainment.
Around 2006, with Spirit of the Century,
they stopped acronyming it
.
It's not
wrong
to say FATE, but the primary producer of Fate content, Evil Hat, doesn't, so it can be confusing.
MikeQ
@BESW Ah, I didn't realize. I've seen it written as "FATE Core" and "FATE Accelerated".
BESW
Most of the people who persist in calling it FATE despite knowing about the change, do so as a way to protest Evil Hat "acting like they own it."
MikeQ
Oh. Well considering that you introduced me to the system within the past year, I can assure you I'm not among that crowd.

It's definitely confusing!
That's why I put a blurb about it at the bottom of
the tag wiki
