For "divine" magic that has a very different flavor from most RPG games, yet seems more like magic as defined in the real world or literature, I can only ...
Hey all. Rob just pointed out to me that there's a thread on Fate that's kicked up over on RPG.net. We've gotten a few of these over the last year, and I'd...
Greetings! Just wanted to report on the game we played on New Year's Eve. This is the same scenario I have run at a convention; I didn't want to make up...
... You can always download it and use it yourself if you like. I'm content for him to use it for his posts and me to use my fate one for mine. ;) -- Fred...
... Admittedly, with FATE I've never embraced the concept of a uniform/universal magic system; in the game I've run with magic users, it's always been a ...
I still think that this can be cured by limiting the refresh rate on Aspects. If the heroes never know when their Aspects are going to be available again,...
Specialists definitely have the edge with this system. In my Mindreth campaign, I don't restrict the elements just their implementation. My PC wizard has an...
Use some random chart/cards (hmm, where'd I get that idea) to give the NPC a personality and an outlook. Also, during combat, some randomizer could be used to...
On 1/2/2004, in <mid:DACBC340-3D73-11D8-962A-000393B1A416@...> ... This was less a problem of them using Aspects to succeed more often than planned,...
On 1/2/2004, in <mid:24FE7D32-3D74-11D8-962A-000393B1A416@...> ... So Drake Bloodthorne has two levels of Fey Magic. Is this the Natural Magic you are...
... Yes. Mindreth has two dieties, Fey and Breaker (goddess of the land and god of the sea respectively) Fey grants some of her chosen the ability to cast...
... Quick question: I heard on here that F-less Fate was going to use an even/odd or similar mechanic, such that the actual die didn't matter as long a it had ...
... Yes. That's how we'll present it. That said, honestly, anything that works for you that equates to "50% chance per die" works just fine (some folks may...
... I've found the quickest way to hurt PCs is to outnumber them, if you're a fan of using the Outnumbered/Flanked/Surrounded bits. The MoSes end up getting...
You might consider this "cheating," but I really raise the tension level when I send in some Syvoth (non-corporeal undead) that have the "chill touch" gift (GM...
So here's something that's been chewing on my mind. I've been thinking about running a Kult game on FATE, due to the fact that the concept of running a dark...
... corrosively ... ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hdoomed ... So they might end up with skills they didn't select in the character creation process? Interesting... ... I...
... A couple of direct thoughts from my brain as to examples: You have someone ordinary in a wrong place at a wrong time. His friend was an cult member and he...
... (snip) Aha! I think I've got something of an idea of how to implement, stealing a concept or two from Donjon... * Each phase, the GM offers a Supernatural...
In case it's not obvious, if you give them a limited number of fate points (less than the number of phases), then a few pleasant consequences come out of it: *...
... I can't say as things have been solidified, but we are very strongly leaning towards OGL for random assorted reasons (among which are such things as 'we...
... So I don't really like the OGL. As a license, it's limited by the desire to protect the D20 brand. I don't think it's very good unless you're in the same...
... As I understand it this is not a significant problem for the Action! system from Goldrush Games, which is OGL and non-d20 (AFAIK, I haven't looked at it). ...
... I don't believe that you can *alter* the OGL. If you read through it actually is copyrighted by Wizards and is their property. Just something to consider....
... Right. Wasn't sure. Thanks. ... Yep; we're going to have an SRD as well. -- Fred Hicks <iago AT iago DOT net> "Curse you iago and your fast fingers!" -...
