Starblazers was one of the bonus ones; I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it.  It's in my Cabinet of Fate, though.

Ah, that might be it. I don't think I bid high enough for the bonus books because I had the all already.

Hello all! I hope everyone's games are going well.

Just returned to RPOL after an extended absence.

Really missed this place, frustrations and all. ^_^

Lets see, 2 rtjs I am waiting to be admitted. 2 games waiting to start. My zelda game has 2 people interested... and 2/3 of my players for pokemon are on vacation of sorts.

How are you?

Howdy folks! Long time RPoL players/GM here! FATE and Savage Worlds are my games of choice currently.

I'm in a couple of FATE games that are going swimmingly, once you get past the character/world generation the game moves just like any other I find.

Also back to rpol after an absence. Much like Strickland5 (hi Strickland!) Fate and savage worlds are my favorites.

Currently in a Secret Avengers game powered by Atomic Robo.

I'm jealous. The only FATE games I can get to say together are the ones I run.

Well if I had more people interested, then again the time period for zelda is one of the reasons I am not getting so many people.

In reply to Cripple X (msg # 32):

Sorry to hear that.

I'm currently in Freeport: Fate in the City of Adventure, Mission Omega, and Fate Core : Shadow-Hunters which are all going alright

Does anyone have a good character sheet for FATE/FAE?

Been fiddling with the table stuff in RPoL but can't make it look overly good really.

Here's an Atomic Robo one.   Maybe good for ideas if nothing else.



Modes
Soldier (10 points): Athletics, Combat, Contacts, Notice, Physique, Vehicles, Tactics, Will
Fist of Khonshu (8 points): Burglary, Combat, Mystic, Notice, Physique, Provoke, stealth, Will
Banter (9 points): Contacts, deceive, empathy, provoke, rapport, will

Improvement Points (3):
Focus a Trained skill (empathy) 1
Focus a Trained skill (stealth) 1
Focus a Trained skill (Rapport) 1

Totally stole this from the GM of my game.

oh wow I see what you mean by FAE being simplified.

In reply to shadrack (msg # 36):

Your GM is my hero. I wonder if they would mind us putting that up in a Resources thread here?

Hope not, I put it up in the AR thread already too.   :)

I can't remember if it was GM or other player, when I'm not using a phone I'll try to find out and give appropriate credit.

I will ask/let them know and encourage them to join up over here.

Definitely do that. They deserve credit.

Yea, make sure to let your FATE games know that we're here.

http://toonstore.net/Atmo Is a good place to store sheets, at least for me. Some are private.

Man, trying to make a character in d20 is not only hard but extrenuous and infuriating. I'm trying to make a character with Aspects of Fantasy to a (probable solo) game with a friend and i can't choose a class/background. Actually, i did, but it is Adventurer/Scholar and my rolls gave me Cha 7.

What do?

Yeah, making a character in most RPGs seems to take forever. So many rolls and stats. Fate definitely seems a lot simpler.

I find FATE to be difficult as far as making Aspect and Stunts ... as they're SO fluid and can draw from pretty much anything/where

I have to agree. Making up your own phrases can be a lot more time consuming than just picking from a list. It's more satisfying from a roleplaying perspective, though.

In my last attempt at Fate (I have yet to join a game of it that survives character creation) I was dismayed to learn I had to come up with ten aspects before play began. It's a lot of work coming up with so many phrases that can be used both for and against the character.

I think I would've just walked away from that game ... ten aspects is WAY too many, even Dresden Files only had what 5?

10 is the previous version I think. Diaspora and SOTC use that I think.

I had noticed the big drop off in number of aspects from older editions to the new Core/FAE.  For those who have been playing Fate for a while, do you miss all those Aspects?  Did it really change the game dynamic to have a shorter list?

o.0 how are they so hard? Or do I misunderstand? I plan on reading the core rulebook today.

In reply to Trollsmith (msg # 48):

Truthfully, I think it made it a lot better. When they reduced the number of aspects they also really began to push the idea that Aspects should be double-edged and provide good reasons for both invokes and compels.
