Espionage Games in Fate Core – Part 2
Last week, I talked about some of the great systems in the original d20 edition of the Spycraft RPG that allowed the GM to run streamlined versions of some of the key elements that appear in high-action espionage games. These include: Physical Infiltration Face-to-Face Infiltration Electronic Infiltration (System Hacking) Direct Assault Interrogation Seduction Area PursuitsContinueContinue reading “Espionage Games in Fate Core – Part 2”
Espionage Games in Fate
Back in 2002, AEG released the Spycraft RPG, an espionage-oriented game that captured my interest (and dollars). It was based off the d20 system engine, and was pretty crunch-heavy, but it was a great base from which to do games about dashing superspies. In 2005, the second edition of the game was released. It triedContinueContinue reading “Espionage Games in Fate”
Draconem Sub-Sector Revisited
Since I posted the Draconem Sub-Sector document, both here and on DriveThruRPG, I’ve had a lot of downloads. I hope that people have found it useful. I’ve continued to explore the early 1977 edition of Traveller, and it got me to thinking about how one could more fully develop possible adventure ideas so that theContinueContinue reading “Draconem Sub-Sector Revisited”
Combining the Best of Old and New School
As I’ve mentioned previously, I’ve been running a first-edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game for my son and his friends. Scheduling issues for 6 people, four of whom are kids, has been a bit difficult, so we haven’t played as often as we’d like. We’re working on establishing a regular routine, though, so things shouldContinueContinue reading “Combining the Best of Old and New School”

Fate Accelerated Edition Supers – Part 2
This month, I’m writing a superhero adventure for Fate Accelerated Edition (FAE) titled This Vision of Darkness. I originally had the idea back when Mutants & Masterminds 2nd Edition came out, but I never ended up publishing it for that system. But now, I’m going to make it available under the Fate Open Gaming License. LastContinueContinue reading “Fate Accelerated Edition Supers – Part 2”
Fate Accelerated Edition Supers – Part 1
I originally stumbled across the Fate RPG back when it was an acronym that stood for “Fantastic Adventures in Tabletop Entertainment.” It’s a great game, and later iterations only got better. And while Fate Core is wonderful, Fate Accelerated Edition (FAE) is even better. It boils down what I want in a game to itsContinueContinue reading “Fate Accelerated Edition Supers – Part 1”
