The Website is not easy to find via search engines. Thank god I bookmarked it ;) German translation site of Fate: http://www.fate-rpg.de.vu/ Have Fun, Peter...
Hi folks, Long time gamer and Fudger, first time poster here. I'm about to fire up an online 1930s pulp-style adventure game, and I've settled on Fate as the...
... Both are appropriate ways to handle it, and there are a couple more, probably. The real question is one of pacing - what do you want to resolve quickly vs....
Hi, I'm keenly awaiting Spirit of the Century's release but primarily to buy a revised version of the FATE rules rather than due to any strong interest in pulp...
... SotC and Dresden are both using a customized build of Fate v3, tailored for their respective genres and settings. There will also be a generic Fate v3 core...
... [Raptor vs. Jack] ... I've actually never used battlemaps or minis (hate 'em for RPGs), so that's not an issue. I'm just looking for some benchmarks and ...
... I'd be interested in taking a look at those, even if I'm not going to use their genres. It'd be good to get a look at how Fate can be customized for ...
Hey, It looks like Gmail's server is claiming to reject messages from Mozilla Thunderbird, and then sending them anyway. My apologies for spamming the list...
... Does the amount of ammo Jack has really matter at all? There's no implied correlation between how many rounds are fired in an exchange roll. I don't see...
... Well, thinking more abstractly, the ammo thing could be modeled as the person with more / sufficient ammo having an advantage, right? (Say, if this raptor...
... Sure. ... Oh, yeah. Bigtime. ... It's just a matter of perspective. The exchange is a conflict. The "damage" you inflict is how close you come to resolving...
New member here so I don't know if this is entirely appropriate but I'm going to be running a play by post game (via Wiki) on my website if anyone is...
... I meant "Dramatic Weapons," but you obviously knew what I'd meant. :) ... Oh. Yeah, not exactly how I think of an exchange as defined in the 2.0 rules....
... The wound track *is* a challenge grid, actually, just with labels that make it relevant for combat. Exchange-based combat is pretty much the same as a...
Hi John, When I started messing about with FATE I encountered a similar disconnect with the rules initially, so I think I know where you're coming from. I...
Hey. I was wondering how people with more experience using fate delt with combat between creatures of greatly different sizes or scales as fudge puts it. I am...
Hello, I read the list already for some months but I'm not sure, if this was disucussed already bevor. I've the GURPS: Timetravel Sourcebook, but I don't own...
Hey all, I'm running my first Fate game tomorrow night and I'm just about set, but I wanted some thoughts on my magic system... First, each character needs to...
... ***** The rest of this is theory and GM advice. If that is of no use, the answer is: For something that big, any result over clipped immediately becomes...
There's a scale.pdf file in the FATE Yahoo group files section that addresses this. Rather useful for more than representing scale as well. I believe that...
How would you show diferences in races? For example, i would asume that withought a racial aspect the person is assumed to be the norm: human. dose that mean...
Hey. Thanks for the responses. I realy like the info delivered. I agree that 60' giants should not be used to put pc's into do or die situations, but rather to...
Quick answer as to why not change the wound scale for any but the most egregious opponents: Basically, the wound track is less a literal representation of...
I'd use Aspects. However, Aspects are what's dramatically important to a player, so it's entirely possible IMO for a player to play an elf but not actually...
Personally, I'd just use aspects to reflect a giant's dramatic capabilities and hindrances. I'd stat them up as say, Giant [ ][ ][ ]. Anytime the Giant...
... It depends on how important race is to both your game and the character. Alot of the time I will give players a free aspect that defines their race or...
I really like the narative and dramatic focus of FATE. So i have been trying to think in terms of books when creating characters, pc or npc. Basicly, if a...
