Fate is interesting because it serves as a light crunch foundation to some games that reach into the medium or even high crunch...

In one campaign, the party took a liking to a weird dungeon I included that had been an outpost by alien planar explorers, full of...

@James Jacobs I am curious if the format is otherwise going to change. Will there be the same amount of "additional information" like...
