Ok, in short, the answer is at least partly in the the difficulty. For anything other than an instantly cast spell, the assumption is that you spend time (i.e....
Rob, Thanks for the reply. You've answered part of my question but I'm still not grokking how to apply spell effects mechanically after they've been rolled...
Heh, apologies for the lack of clarity. I am having to do some deep mental diving to try to recall what I was thinking at the time. For example, one other...
I probably don't need one, but I did just get the nifty trifold landscape screen from Pinnacle, and I was wondering if anyone had already made a FATE GM...
Why does an effect which is capable of causing incapacitation effects have to be seen as an all or nothing ?Thinking of the partial results might make for...
... Y'know, I'd totally make some pages for that if I had the foggiest notion what should go on them. If anyone has any interesting suggestions, I may be...
... I'm trying to think of something in FATE that needs to be there for easy reference. All I can think of is the ladder, and maybe those optimised pyramids ...
... I'd put there some examples of challenge ladders: one for a "long" challenge, one for a "fragile" challenge, one for "gossips" (pretty common), and so on....
... Hmmm... Well, what's a GM screen without lots of tables and charts? :) Off the top of my head after a quick skim-through of the PDF, in rough order of...
For me its not only the easiest/slickest method but also the one most likely to result in vivid visualizations (as magic can cause cool twists) ... -- Google...
I've been looking for a reason to use http://www.pocketmod.com for a DM cheat sheet. I think it would be good for Fate: The ladder, some combat mods, uses of...
Hi all. I am currently in the process of developing a fantasy campaign using the Fate rules. I was hoping that you guys (espicialy those that are currently...
*laughs* I love using the pocketmod for to shopping lists and reminders. Never even occurred to me to make a GM screen of it. This smells like a fascinating...
In the past I have picked up some used 'menu covers' off of eBay. You can find them in bi-fold and tri-fold versions (4 or 6 slots). You can also pick up a...
The sheets would work best in landscape. As what to have on them, hmmmm, the combat outcomes, the skill tree, common uses of fate points, default combat...
Actually, the incapacitating issue is easy to fix. In my games, death is a difficult state to reach - the player has to specifically risk their life. None of...
... No, but I have done some thinking. I would need: - adjective ladder - combat modifiers - combat chart - difficulty chart I would also add: - some player...
... Sorry, did not want to be rude :-) I was just startled by the price. Anyway, let's go on and make some meaty pdfs: we'll then choose where to put them :-) ...
... Not so. Any highly skilled martial artist can appear to dodge bullets. What they really do is observe the shooter and dodge after the shooter comits to...
I posted an Actual Play session over at The Forge. http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/index.php?topic=18646.0 Just in case anyone was interested. Andrew...
Anyone using FATE to run a game over OpenRpg? I really like the ease (and the free doesn't hurt either) of Open. I am currently playing in a fun homebrewed...
... It's been over a year since i last used OpenRPG, but i seem to recall that it had a Fudge die-roller built into the first few builds. I think it was...
