FATE RPG?

[NovaPheonix]

I'd be interested in running a RPG using the FATE engine on these forums. It's one of my favorite systems to use for creative and fun roleplays. The idea of the system is that it is focused more on ideas/words than stats and can be great for doing generic or multi-genre games. It uses a really simple 4-six sided dice roll and isn't very complex to learn. I've tried running it on a forum before, and it only failed due to me being unable to gather enough people. Part of the game is that the players co-operate to build characters and setting, so the plot of the RP will be determined by who joins. Anyone who is interested, please reply and I'll see how many applicants I end up with.

This is definitely what I'm looking for. I have a character made up already....

  ?Battle-Ready:Morphs her staff into a deadly spear and her appearance shifts to suit close combat. Cannot be used with AROMATHERAPY or OMNISPARK. She is limited to using her flasks and spear.
  
  
  ?Chronology:The ability to travel to any time or place...or so she says. The power is very dangerous since it is often wrong. The longer the distance, the more difficult it is to maneuver. Usually the error lies in WHERE she ends up, but on one occasion she overstepped the time barrier. This is why she's here, now.
  
  
  ?Omnispark:A concentrated beam of light off of her staff. It can either be weakened for light, or it can be made to penetrate objects like a blade. The time to aim makes it a bit unwieldy, so its chance of hitting is low, but if it does hit, it packs quite a punch. The weaker the beam, the easier it is to aim.
  
  
  ?Aromatherapy:A small incense pot is fixed to Syveris' staff and an alchemagical mist is released into the air. The color and scent changes the effect. Only one can be active at any time. There are 2 uses per mixture and a 12-hour period is needed to prepare a new one. Lasts for one battle.
  
  
  Angelica root and Basil;Removes negative MAGICAL effects such as hexes and downed stats. Prevents new hexes.
  
  
  Thyme, Vanilla, and White Willow Bark;Increases DEF and heals a small amount of HP.
  
  
  Rosemary and Star Anise;Removes negative PHYSICAL effects such as poison. Prevents any new poisons.
  
  
  Mullein and Horehound;Slightly increases party's ATK.
  
  
  ?Passive//Alchemy:Syveris is well-versed in the art of alchemical procedure. She is able to perform what some call 'simple miracles' and was incorrectly labeled a THURMATURGIST in her old world. Her specialty is explosive flasks that have varying effects much like her aromatherapy sachets. Only three kinds can be carried at a time, and once they're used, she needs 12 hours to create new ones.
  
  
  FIREflask;A flask containing highly flammable and volatile liquid mixture. Once it hits the air, it flares up into a blue flame that is difficult to put out. Good against large creatures with a lot of HP since it does damage over time. Also has a splash effect, but it does less damage the more enemies it hits.
  
  
  ACIDflask;This contains a highly corrosive chemical compound in the form of a viscous liquid. Once it hits non-organic material, it begins to eat away at whatever armor or weapons the enemy holds. Small decrease in DEF and ATK until the end of battle.
  
  
  FOGflask;When broken, the flask releases a chemical that almost instantly creates an intense fog effect. This inhibits visibility and forces friend and foe alike to rely on their other senses. This is typically used as a defensive tactic, and gives Syveris a small chance to escape unharmed should her foe be too great.
  
  
  SUNflaskA heavily magic-based flask, this holds within a small sun that bursts when it hits the air. The searing light is mostly useful against undead or unholy enemies.

Maybe - depends on the setting. I prefer to see a more developed concept when going into even a FATE game.

I could make this character work for the system, though I suggest limiting yourself to about 3-5 powers only out of the ones you listed. At least, that's how this system works by default (I could modify the rules). I counted out about 9 based on your sheet, though the buffs could be changed to items instead of powers.

Hm, that's fair. I'll see who wants to join, and if you're in, you could help develop the setting to fit your desires for sure.


I'm going to give it until this weekend, because I'm busy with IRL stuff for now. Then we'll start.

Like fate/stay night?

Not like Fate/Stay Night. Though I did make a joke a few times that I could run that kind of game within the system as well.

 

[Sir Nate]

Ah

Would you still be interested in participating?

 

[Sir Nate]

I'm still confused on what it is.

 

[Ixacise]

It's the name of the ruleset

 

[Sir Nate]

I guess

 

[NovaPheonix]

I think three players will be enough.


Now I just need character concepts (just an idea for now) for @Sir Nate and @Grey before we start anything else.

 

[Grey]

No concept without context. 'Fantasy' is a broad umbrella.


I'm assuming we're going with more high adventure, high fantasy?

 

[Shining Lotus Sage]

Core or Accelerated?

Core.

I'm thinking High-Adventure could work.

 

[NovaPheonix]

Now I'm just wondering what kind of game @Sir Nate would want to play. I don't mind it being highly fantastical, since we already have a very strong alchemist in the party. It could also have Sci-fi elements or other genres if you wish.

 

[Sir Nate]

Is hard to understand still.

It's basically just creating a character concept for a RP, particularly for Fantasy...but it can be anything.

 

[Sir Nate]

Alright. Do what now?

 

[NovaPheonix]

@Sir Nate[/URL], I'm just trying to figure out what kind of character you want to play.

 

[Sir Nate]

Usually am a knight. Does that fit?

 

[Grey]

Someone should've linked this pages ago.

[Sir Nate]

Wow that sounds cool. Is it for 360?

 

[Grey]

...No. It's a tabletop roleplaying game. It's the one being used for this RP.


You can download the core .pdf for free from that site - the pricetag is recommended rather than enforced.

 

[NovaPheonix]

@Grey[/URL] would like to play.
