I have more to say about FATE, too....read the book over the weekend, and I think I've pegged why it's so different from standard/OSR RPGs...I realized that FATE's core conceit is on the opposite end of the spectrum from the old school notion of "play what you role," and it's really not even close to the more modern "design what you want to play" methodology of games of the last couple decades. FATE is a "tell what you want" style of game....in D&D you make a nobody with hopes be becomes somebody. In FATE you make an "already somebody" who's about to become the lead protagonist in a big budget action flick or novel trilogy. But more on this observation soon....Doctor Futurityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02586371999646337047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4566357373248344031.post-306609372570982642015-02-02T13:33:53.984-07:002015-02-02T13:33:53.984-07:00I picked up the demolished ones:

It pretty much ripped the plot from Dark City but I can't complain because I love that movie.<br /><br />Sadly the system is a bit hard to wrap ones head around and its hard enough as it is to pry my newbie groups fingers away from their D&D 5e books. I finally enticed them with the idea of a Mass Effect Campaign using the Traveller rule set.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01283189976349002363noreply@blogger.com
