In my world, Aspects are for making things interesting and cinematic. Hiding behind a pile of rocks isn't interesting. Diving behind them, pistols blazing, is....
... First, a note that "Scene Aspects" have been 'rebranded' "Situation Aspects" in Core, so as to avoid confusion concerning their duration when they might in...
I think this is where you and I are coming at it from different angles. I hadn't though ASIDE from crossing it. I was thinking, you stop it from being a threat...
You know what we do to handle basic stuff like cover? We use Overflow per Dresden. Use Athletics to run into a zone, and whatever successes are left go into a...
Player A creates an advantage and use that to put an invoke into the Aspect: Pile of Rocks. The narrative is that they take cover behind the Pile of Rocks....
Why does it have Composure? I know very little about LotR (as well as SotC since I came to Fate va Dresden) aside from the basic books/movie. Is the river...

Odd question. I'm preparing our first night of actual play (we have created setting and characters). What does a Fate adventure look like? When I open a D&D...
All our adventures for Dresden Files are free: Night Fears, Neutral Grounds, and Evil Acts. Also, Hell Comes to Hollywood for SotC is free. You can pick them...

... As a general rule, most situation aspects are assumed to be just "there," but they don't *do anything* for people unless you invoke them. So, yes, there's...
Hi, One mechanical aspect I'm giving a lot of thought to in my pulp space game is a way to allow characters to advance. I'd prefer a slow-steady advancement. ...
Historically, I've only encountered grief when making *changing* stuff cost points. As a GM, you can't look at a character and see how much advancement it has...
... The original poster is using Spirit of the Century rules, which is from where the Fate 3 rules available online came. My memory is fuzzy about what all is...
I run A Dresden Files game. We use that advancement system. But it is not actually clear how many significant Milestones(where skills points are given out) are...
The example of how the books could be interpreted as a game (Our World, page 137) has Harry gaining "5 or 6" refresh and 10 skill points across the course of...
There's no set or standard milestone ratio, from minor to significant to major. If you have long scenarios, you'll have fewer significant milestones. If you...
If you are a Fate Core backer, you should have gotten a pre-release copy of the Ellis Affair -- a pulp-era mystery that uses Core. It's got a solid spine that...
Can I be an International Lady of Mysteries? I'd look good in a fedora and trenchcoat.... Anyway... I'd agree with most of what Leonard said -- he and I have...
... I love the concept of EP (Transhumanism for the win, CC is extra-awesome), but the system has never wowed me. Fate, on the other hand, has wowed me a lot....
I have a conversion of everything I really need to run EP with Nova Praxis - plus a new additional setting. That being said, it is always good to have more SF...
Hi Guys, Thank you all for the input. I have learned quite a bit, and THAT is always good! I do believe that I will have to look at my own Aspect-Fu – the...
If you are going to run Dresden (or enjoy reading Dresden Files) - then get the Dresden RPG as there is a metric ton of information in there very specific to...
I must say that the general production quality of the Dresden Files RPG really shines through, the books just really feel a part of the Dresden universe. The...
Ok. Listening to your comments I've decided to get rid of spending AP to modify stuff. Instead I'll allow players to modify their characters during refresh;...
Ok. Sorta an oddball idea I thought I'd throw out to the crowd and see what people thought about it as a game idea, possably running in a G+ community play by...
Not thought that out fully. I'd probably have them set all but one of their aspects during developing their "Mundane" characters and save one to come up from...
I like it. Reminds me a lot of the podcast Second Shift (http://secondshiftpodcast.com <http://secondshiftpodcast.com/>). I might have to steal this. -->Jake...
