Let's do a FATE game

[Jerkchicken]

As first inaugural post for this section I'd like to attract both non experienced and experienced players with a game using the FATE ruleset which can be found here

Setting and focus are up in the air as I just want kinda make like a collaborative process while I help out with the rules. Although I do have a couple of ideas that I can drop, one being a mecha game.

[Descartes]

I wonder if fudge dice can be implemented into the new system.

[Jerkchicken]

I don't think it would be worth the effort since the game always provides alternate methods of using regular d6s to work with the fudge symbols. The common one being 1-2a being negative 3&4s being neutral and the 5&6s being positive

[Strangelander]

It's also worth mentioning that the official FATE rulebooks are available as free PDFs here. I'm interested, but I haven't actually used the FATE system. I'll go over my rulebook again though.

[Jerkchicken]

Thanks for the link, I just dropped the SRD because I figured it'd be easier for people interested to click on their leisure.

Also for ideas: Something with giant robots, sci-fi shenanigans, oh a fantasy game.

[Strangelander]

What if we did fantasy... With mechs? O.o Actually, that would be pretty cool. They could be some sort of magitech deal or something.

[Jerkchicken]

I like your thinking, but we need more people.

Anyway I always have a joneseing for mechs and I'm up for doing a game with them but I can also do something else depending on demand

I've been a Table Top Gamer since the age of ten when I could barely grasp the rule system of 2nd edition D&D which my Uncle ran at his house every weekend. I was staying there with my mom and curious so he let me play his wizard's familiar an sit up late with the group or till I passed out.
Later when I was 12 I graduated to the hard stuff like GURPs and White Wolf and occasionally Mega Traveler, I was hooked.
I'm now 26 and I've been GMing for over 10 years now and still rolling the dice (I always have my Dice Bag which has nearly every die Chessex put out
What kind of Geek Girl would I be without my Dice I ask you?)
I'd love to hash out any FATE ideas you'd like and see how you might rectify the absence of a Matrix in the Guild

[Jerkchicken]

Nice to know I have an expertly qualified person on board.

Also no clue on what you mean by matrix but if you're you talking about that skill column thing, new version uses something else and even then it's subject to tampering to fit a game better.

[RumikoOhara]

Actually speaking of a dice matrix so that the rolls could be verified an random

[Jerkchicken]

Rolz.org or orokos for all the rolling related needs.

Anything more complex than that is too much and not important for fudge dice shenanigans

[LordShyGuy]

I'd be up for joining this if I like the setting. I've never actually been able to play a tabletop game. I had the opportunity once, but then the gm got hit by a car and didn't feel like doing it anymore.

[Jerkchicken]

Well with like one or two or more people I'll definitely get to doing something.

Like I mentioned above I'm flexible with the setting and this is more of like an experiment in exposing the game system to others.

[LordShyGuy]

Account for me not joining. I can be really picky with the setting and I don't want to just make everyone play what I want to.

[Jerkchicken]

I see, hopefully when this pops up it might be of interest

[Asuras]

Knowing you JerkChicken, I doubt whatever setting we do go with will be unfavorable. In any case, a mecha setting would be intense. I'll have to look over the FATE rules though, as I'm unfamiliar with them.

[Jerkchicken]

thank you for the vote of confidence

Anyway I'll probably get to work on the setting and some house rules to give that flavor.

[von_das]

I'll be watching this with interest. Might join if I like the setting and you feel like you have enough space.

I assume you're building off Fate Core?

[Jerkchicken]

Yes I am, the game will mostly be fate core with some custom things and perhaps stuff cribbed from other games if it suits me

[von_das]

Do you have Fate Worlds? CAMELOT Trigger might be worth looking at for inspiration and ideas on how to run a mecha game.
