New to FATE

Hi,

I'm new to FATE and to this group.

I'm still learning about the system, so I'm full of questions.

I hope you don't mind, but here are a few of those questions. I
apologize in advance if any of these have already been answered
earlier in the group.

So, the Dresden Files is supposed to be more gritty? Does anyone know
in what ways that FATE will differ in that book compared to Spirit of
the Century?

What if I don't want to use the skill pyramid? Perhaps I want a skill
point system to buy skills. Has anyone come up with variant rules for
that?

Does magic in FATE 3.0 work the same as magic in FATE 2.0?

Thanks,
Marx

An important thing to remember is that FATE is more a toolbox than a complete game. Spirit of the Century is not the same as FATE 2.0. It's more a specific...
