Yeah, looks that way. I sat there for a minute trying to sort it out :)

I’d have to agree. With the way aspects are used in Fate, it’s pretty much covered by spending Hope to help another player. Or even Tag team. (Note: I haven’t had a chance to bring this to the table yet…so this is based on read through only).

Ah, I didn’t realize he wasn’t alone on the ship. That makes slightly more sense. Slightly. :)

Heh. Well, at least in Armageddon, you could squint and have it make sense. If you buy the premise that drilling was more art than science, and all they had to do was basically learn to put on a spacesuit. I don’t know any more about this one than what they showed in the trailer, but I have a...

I don’t know…I see players trying to ‘min max’ the fear situation by doing nothing is a non-issue. Well, it is an issue, sort of, but it’s the exact same issue as “the players refuse to leave the safety of the tavern”. If they’re not going to engage with the adventure, that’s an out of game...

Wait, tickets are already on sale? Isn’t this coming out end of July? That’s got to be a record, isn’t it? Are they trying to generate desperate FOMO?

Agreed! As handy as it is to have an entire internet full of gaming material at my beck and call, there was something magical about having a new Dragon magazine show up in my mailbox every month.

That’s awesome news. Lack of VTT support is the one thing holding me back right now. While I’d love to play face to face with this, it’s a geographical impossibility with my group. I don’t even need a premium module…just a rules framework and character sheets (as a minimum) would do. Of...

Enjoyed it right up to the very last episode. Wherein, in desperation to get a second season, they turned the protagonist into a complete moron. I mean, I get he was always supposed to be a flawed character, but how the hell (heh) did his reasoning work here? (Keeping it purposely vague to...

Canadian, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard ‘you arrive to’. ‘Travel to’, ‘arrive at’. Although now I think about it, I might say “you get to Coruscant’. But definitely never ‘arrive to’.

Cool. I’d definitely be happy to play that setting (or even run it). Nicely done.

I do that a lot. Especially if I haven’t called for a roll in awhile. Players like to roll dice. I always give out what they need, but I sometimes volunteer extra if they roll exceptionally well. I could, in theory, skip the roll. But like I said, they like rolling :)

In your opinion… :)

Yeah, in doing my research into this, I’m watching the Critical Role Christmas playthrough. And 90% of the time, when Hope and Fear are rolled, Matt Mercer just tells them to gain a Hope point (or he marks a Fear for himself). And they get used at a later point. Occasionally, you can see...

Same thing happened in the Tiamat one. Escaping Tiamat isn't much of a feat when she's shooting off her breath attacks everywhere but at the heroes...
