I will say though that there may be some value in my rules for engagement, opportunity attacks, push/pull/slide, flanking, phalanxes, shifting, etc. These work...
... I wouldn't mind seeing it. I'm working on a Fate homebrew that needs a somewhat crunchier combat system. It's a D&D tribute, so if the rules resemble it,...
... Me too... D&D 4e is one of my current fascinations... the flavor that is most needed if you want to connect with it... is team work. Heros in 4e are a team...
... I concur - it's bulky to me. It's pretty light in some ways, but nowhere near as elegant as it "should" be. Should, being that SotC was intended to be a...
... I don't know of any open SotC games in LA at the moment, but you should definitely check out Strategicon. I know of at least two or three game masters who...
... Do a maneuver using one of your skill, doing something that would help the other character, and place a temporary aspect on the target (a character, an...
Thinking some more... Should there be any limits on this? IIRC, Maneuvers generally have a target of 0, so the odds are good that the Aspect will get placed...
Maneuvers "vs the environment" have a target of 0 certainly, but if they're angling to place an aspect on a character, they get to defend. Fred ... -- ...
... So if it's: Alice: I'm going in! Bob: Here's a nice smokescreen! it's likely against the environment. Bob: This Big Bad needs a knuckle sandwich! Alice: I...
This will be my first time GMing anything. ._. I think I'm going to design out a few basic areas and NPCs, along with some possible hinting at what /might/...
With regard to kids as zombies, you may want to consider whether your players will have issues there -- in my group, I've got one player (a parent) who asked...
What about this: Alice: I'll disarm the bomb! I've never done this before, though. Bob: I'll coach you, as I used to work bomb detail in the Army. Let's assume...
There's nothing wrong with Bob having to roll against the same difficulty as Alice is, here. There's also nothing wrong with Bob rolling against Mediocre. ...
... Let's assume it's the typical "coach the person over the comm" scene that's been in tons of thriller movies. Alice: "Okay, I've removed the blue wire. What...
In a game I ran a couple of months ago, I realized that I could allow one of my villains to do something cool with a combination of a maneuver and a compel....
Thank you very much for the tips! Also, while I really like the Fate 3/SotC ruleset, it's more geared towards pulp fiction. It's easy to monitor the aspect...
... I am reminded of a scene from Stargate SG1. In "Fail Safe", Col. O'Neill needs to disarm a nuclear warhead. Carter radios him to cut the red wire. Problem...
You should check out Diaspora. Here's the free SRD: http://www.vsca.ca/Diaspora/diaspora-srd.html The main tweaks (as I see it) to reduce the pulp factor are: ...
Have you guys gotten the problems with Lulu corrected yet? If not, I'd like to suggest an alternative. There's a site called 48HrBooks.com that specializes in...
... Thanks, Holly -- we're not really interested in starting to do advance print runs at this time, but obviously we may have to reconsider that in the near ...
... If you want to stick to PoD, you might consider CreateSpace. I believe you keep more of the money, and they're owned by Amazon, so Diaspora would appear on...
... Thanks, Mike -- if Lulu doesn't come through for us, CreateSpace is indeed one of our next stops for consideration. Sadly they are not terribly friendly to...
Does CreateSpace do hardcovers? I did some very brief research and thought I saw the answer was "no". Fred On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 10:42 AM, Brad Murray...
No, CreateSpace doesn't do hardcovers, doesn't print letter-sized books and doesn't allow more than 100Mb per file. That's the reason why I chose Lulu for a...

My wife and I used 48hrbooks to create the favors for our wedding (flip books) and I have to say they were fantastic to work with. The turn around was about 3...
All IMO. I am not Mr. Balsera. :) Your first compel example seems too strong to me; the second lasts for only one exchange, so it's more reasonable. Keep in...
