This will be one of the last posts I make about DRYH -- but, I wanted y'all to know, the game's remaining on sale ($9.95 for print, $4.95 for PDF) for another...
Mine just arrived today, and i have to say that I'm surprised by the overall quality of the book. It's the first time I'd used Lulu and I'm looking forward...
Hi Fred! ... Already bought one and recommended to my friends. Should I warn them that it is a Black Toner Killer? Nooooo :) Looking forward to Dresden Files!...
... Well, the "printer friendly" version in the PDF package is meant to minimize that a bit. :) ... *Should* be available electronically, but not necessarily ...
... If you or anyone who's bought the thing feel moved to write an RPG.Net review of the thing, I sure wouldn't object. :> -- Fred Hicks * "Curse you iago and...
Hi! ... Yeah... But with all the black it looks much better. I really like the design. And I guess one or two of my regulars will like the setting, too. So...
... We're not sure yet -- still exploring those options. -- Fred Hicks * "Curse you iago and your fast fingers!" - Rob Donoghue Co-Author of Fate - Author of...
One of the listed uses of FP is for characters to borrow the GM's hat for a moment and narrate minor coincidences... examples given include retroactively...
GM veto is nice, but the whole situation is a social contract thing. If al lthe player is saying is that the struggle to find silver bullets is starting to...
I'm pretty sure this isn't in the rules anywhere, but I have a rule of thumb for how to deal with something like that which I'm pretty happy with. I consider...
... Yep, I'm not seeing how this is abuse at all. You have a resource, you spend the resource, you get what you're supposed to get... Where is the problem? I...
... I think Mike is slightly exaggerating for effect here. :) But to be clear, I sympathize with the fear of a "slippery slope" - the idea that while you...
I think the concern might be over how player behavior might change when the player knows the session is coming to an end. In other words, the concern seems to...
I'm intrigued, and tired, about this. I, myself, do not see that much of a potential for an issue with this but it did get me thinking while in a half asleep ...
... Like... frivolous things? I mean, certainly we're talking about potential dumps of points, sure. But I'm not seeing how that automatically leads to a ...
... when the player ... seems to be that the ... wouldn't spend in the middle ... I don't give out new FP for every new 'session'. I only give out new FP for...
... Not exaggerating in the slightest. I mean Universalis works, and it's pretty much nothing but "everybody has a bunch of FP, and can make up whatever they ...
... *laughs* Fair enough. I'll put it this way - I recognize there's a leap of faith involved in trusting your players with this sort of stuff, and most...
How is that different from spending them for +1s or for aspect lenses or any of the pther ways they could be spent? The possibility does exists that they...
Thanks for all the fascinating discussion (especially the idea of montage sequences... love that! :) The players (and I) are coming from a much more mechanical...
... Actually this is a good point. I think it's less trust of players, rather than trust that there isn't some conflict of interest inherent in a system like...
... I think fate points are made to be spent. You want the players to use them. By granting experience/advances for not using them, you encourage the players...
... Yes, yes, yes. They always have been. The version of Fate in Spirit and Dresden embraces this idea even more so. :) -- Fred Hicks * "Curse you iago and...
I concur. Fate Points are made to spend. But I think the economy of FPs and the typical posture to horde them, knowing the "big baddie" waits at the end of ...
... I think the trouble with this is that you end up encouraging fp hoarding by rewarding it in any way. - if you employ a 'use it or lose it' policy then I...
... That's how I've seen it play out. They hold on to 2 or three fate points, just in case, but start using their 'disadvantages' to create complications the...
... Well, they'll certainly not be resisting them :) We had the second session last night, and the FP were getting spent much more rapidly. Mind you, that's...
Hi all, This is my first time posting here (I think--I tried to send a message to the group almost a week ago, but I don't think it worked). I found FATE just...
