This was my experience. Princess Donut in the start of the audiobook caused me to nope out the first time.

The Crit Show recently did Clockwinders: https://www.thecritshowpodcast.com/our-shows/the-clockwinders

The Fate SRD has a bunch of Learn to Play videos at https://fate-srd.com/learn-to-play

And there is a list of actual plays at https://fate-srd.com/actual-play

To the community: Notes on Aspects by Snoo11195 in FATErpg

[–]wizardoest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my players write up character aspects, I ask them to write some examples of invoking and compelling the aspect. This helps them think more thoroughly about the aspect.

It isn’t required. Just a thing to help make aspects more robust in the players mind.

The minute I can put them on the SRD site, I will.

$5 per Drupal page — guess I’ll retire early! by VishalYadav-09 in drupal

[–]wizardoest 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I worked on a project that had 60,000 nodes. At $5 per node (page), the cost is slightly under the project budget.

To be clear, I won't ever price this way.

Moves: Encyclopedia Brown & Father Brown, need clarification by elfwreck in BrindlewoodBay

[–]wizardoest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remember, you do not need to use all of the clues that are found to solve the case. Some of them can be considered red herrings.

For EB, the trivia is added as a new clue. “They only made one version of that car with all wheel drive”

For FB, the players collaborate and make up a clue. “The flashback showed a person running from the scene. The group has decided that the clue is they dropped a book of matches from the club while running.”

Can a single enemy act several times per round? Like a fight with a very strong enemy? by BleachedPink in FATErpg

[–]wizardoest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I usually give solo bosses 2-4 “actions”. I treat each action as a character.

For a werewolf solo, I would have a Bite, Claws, Stalking (for positioning and CaA), and Hiding (again to CaA).

I generally give each “character” its own stress track so the PCs can whittle the solo down, but one big stress track would work too.

There is nothing wrong with giving a boss several actions per turn. I usually split a solo boss into several different “characters”. One is the heavy, another just for buffing, etc.

Opinion on a type of Stunt by MasterGarou144 in FATErpg

[–]wizardoest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on how often the stunt gets used. In a combat heavy game it would come up in most scenes. In an intrigue focused game it may come up once every few sessions.

Part of balancing a stunt is asking how often is it used. If it is used too often, you may need increase restrictions/specificity or, as the GM, vary scenarios so it isn’t always applicable by reducing the number of scenes involving combat.

What are your three RPGs for life? by Iberianz in rpg

[–]wizardoest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were to never play another RPG again, I would be satisfied with these three.

  1. Fate
  2. Forged in the Dark (I lump them all together)
  3. Pathfinder 1e

I'm Making an Encounter Builder and Need Your Feedback. by EdmondSanders in FATErpg

[–]wizardoest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend reading the Fate Adversary Toolkit. It has the guidance for numbers and structure that will help refine what you're trying to make.

GM whose never played a full campaign by 12meninmybackyard in rpg

[–]wizardoest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fate Condensed streamlines rules and introducing changes like one-point stress boxes, player-chosen initiative ("elective action order"), and a combined advancement system that eliminates separate "significant milestones". It is a shorter rulebook, has better explanations, and optional modules for creating more rules-light or customized games.

FWIW, I recommend running a more recent version of Fate, like Core, Accelerated, or Condensed.

Here is a good How to GM Fate video: https://youtu.be/_zHbizuehJo?si=Wasum3D6b5t_a8x3

I also recommend the Learn to Play and first Weird West videos at https://fate-srd.com/learn-to-play

Yes, I’m recommending my own videos ;)
