Hi there... I'd love to play a historical/dynastic game of FATE or FAE willing to take on a completely new player.

If anyone knows of a way to adapt crusader kings 2 to FATE or FAE I'd love to join

Is anyone interested in starting a game?  Never see much on players wanted. I was thinking some space opera or atomic robo.  Would love to be a player but I'm happy to gm.

I'd be interested in joining a game. I am running two (non-Fate) games myself right now, and I don't think I could handle another one.

In reply to micahmoe (msg # 151):

I can't promise but it sounds very interesting...

Do either of you have a preference on game type?

In reply to micahmoe (msg # 154):

Probably "space opera" since I'm not familiar with "atomic robo." Perhaps you mean something specific by "space opera" in which case I'm possibly not familiar with that either.

I would love to join in a FATE game. Atomic Robo is one of my favorite comic books and I have the game based on it.

Space Opera as a genre is something I would enjoy as well, but it really needs to be defined a bit more as it is a very broad genre. Alien, Aliens, Dune, Flash Gordon, Star Wars, and many more all fall under the loose heading of Space Opera.

I would prefer Robo but it could depend on the type of space opera

So the space opera comes from me playing a ton of Star Realms lately.  Not sure if that type of game fits well in Fate.

When I think space opera, my mind usually goes to outlaw star/cowboy bebop type of stuff.  A ragtag group of folks in their own ship getting into trouble. The 40k universe also comes to mind. I'm eyeballing the fate space tool kit.. could give me an excuse to pick it up.

Does this line up with something you all would be interested in?

In reply to micahmoe (msg # 158):

My preference would be just to use the Fate rules without any extras, if that's possible. Part of what I like about it is its simplicity.

Fate games are rarer than mushroom rings I think. I myself have been wanting to try Wolf's head the new Fate World that came out. Keep going to almost run it and then my available time gets eaten up by a spike on another game.

Atomic Robo looks like a fun world setting, but never played it at all so not too sure how Space Opera it would feel.

Atomic Robo isn't Space Opera usually. It is Action Science!^TM It can include Space Opera, but it is usually on Earth. Or at least an Earth.

It's not that atomic robo is space opera. Space opera was the other option offered.

Going to take a stab at running this new adventure world from Evil Hat. I think it could be really fun, and thought I would mention it on here.

Fleshing out an idea for a game.  Think Freeport but low to no fantasy; going for more swashbuckling and less spellcasting.  I'm not married to FAE, could do Core. I just need 3ish committed players to help me build up the story a little more, classic fate style. Is anyone interested? Hoping for 3 posts a week, with a bit more when there's a conflict going on.

Basic Premise
A merchant ship is making its way to the other side of the sea with a precious cargo, when a devious plot to steal the cargo is hatched.

Campaign Aspects
- The sea is a two edge sword.
- When you have pirates, who needs enemies.

NPCs

The Captain
N: Captain Henry Red-Chin
HC: Veteran Merchant Captain of the Seven Seas
T: Did you say gold?!

First Mate
N: Jacques The Nimble
HC: Ambitious Ex-Pirate Turned Explorer
T: Always a captain’s mate, never a captain.

The Bad Guy
N: Griswell Dark Eye
HC: Pirate Captain of the
T: Never Learned to Swim

I've been a long time Fate GM and would really like the opportunity to play. Also, since season 2 of Mandalorian ended I've been picking up the Clone Wars animated series and this has REALLY got me in the mood for a Star Wars story... but I have never actually gotten the chance to PLAY Fate, so here I am.

Would anyone have an interest in running a Fate (preferably accelerated, but Core/Condensed work too) Star Wars game? My only stipulation is that I want to play a Jedi character. I don't care if I'm the only one, I'm cool with that, but otherwise the game can be whatever you want it to be.

Any takers?

I just finished binge-watching Dark Matter.  So, I'm eager to put something together in the same vein...


The PCs were held in stasis in a small space-station awaiting transport to a penal colony.  When the station they're on gets attacked, their personalities are "quick-loaded" back into their bodies.  The PCs manage to get to an impounded ship and get off the station before it blows...


So, they're on a ship.  They don't have all their memories.  People are going to be hunting them...  What now??

The "quick-load" is a narrative excuse for why we don't know much about our characters nor the state of the galaxy.  The characters have a fog because we, the players, haven't defined things yet.


Influences for the look & feel of this game are, in no particular order:
Bulldogs, Dark Matter, Killjoys, Farscape, Firefly/Serenity, Diaspora, Guardians of the Galaxy, Scum & Villainy (FITD), Eclipse Phase, The Expanse, Nova Praxis, Mindjammers, GURPS Transhuman Space

Currently looking to play Wolf's Head or a similar historical setting

Is anyone still interested in playing FATE?

I created my own FATE system more than 15 years ago based loosely on Spirit of the Century, but set in a dystopian future.  I've never done anything with it, I mostly enjoyed the act of creation, though I had hoped to run a game with it one day.  However, the few FATE games I've been in have died abornin', and I became discouraged with playing such a game online.

Anyway, I'm down to only a single game that I'm playing (PathFinder 2) and I haven't found anything else that stirs my interest.  So I started looking at this game that I set up a few years ago (based on my decade-old, at the time) rule system and thinking how much fun it would be if I could find some real FATE players.

The game is strictly human, no zombies or magic or anything else.  However, the player characters and named characters will be heroic, dwarfing the minions significantly, to the level of James Bond or a Bruce Lee movie.  I don't like all the magical stuff because people depend on that to make their characters interesting instead of personality and role playing.

I only want to do this if there are at least three other people who are on RPoL nearly every day, who can write, and who love to push the story along.  I do want you to create background and scenery that can be used in fun and interesting ways, and even to take charge of the NPC's now and then.  People who only react, just so they can roll their dice at the right times are not really what I'm looking for.

I've resisted pulling the trigger on this game because I'm too frustrated with games that only last a month or two, then get ghosted.  So, if you have ever ghosted a game (without a good reason, such as an abusive GM), please don't bother.  I would expect the courtesy of a note, at the very least.  If you frequently get bored with games after a couple of months and then drop out, please don't bother.  If reading this much text is too much for you, please don't bother.

As with any writing endeavor (and I do consider this a joint writing endeavor more than anything else), there will be times of great fun and excitement and times when it seems a little like a chore.  Please be someone prepared to work though that part.  Otherwise, ...  well, you guessed it.

Is anyone interested?
