These are good questions, but it's not the way I would approach the problem: you end up with too many games, because granularity always allows more divisions. I would look for games that have something distinct about them, in terms of setting and/or mechanics, and see how those specific features...

Tommi had woken up late that morning, and hadn't been able to find his belt. He pulled on his shirt and trousers, and there was Gutter beside his boots, but he couldn't find his belt, and Sheren had already gone off to work. He took one of her belts, well, borrowed it, and loaded up his pockets...

Some items on your list are a bit surprising, but overall it's reasonable. If representative, one thing it shows is how little innovation there has been over the past 10-15 years, as many indie games get squeezed out. FATE as a system is great, but I would think it more useful to look at a...

The Colonel listens to the scouting report, and offers his advice. "This is very similar to what my old unit used to do during the Dao-Demon War. We were the Coming Storm an elite aerial mercenary unit that would land behind enemy lines by falling form the sky. Possibly I, or some of us, could...

Better yet: look at the list of humanoids!

That's better, but for many it will b GM-determined ("I'm running a hard sf game") and some it will come from the players. Maybe that doesn't worry you. This, to me, is worse. A tie should be the most interesting outcome, not something to be dodged. If the system can't handle that, then it...

I'm really sorry to hear it, j. I know we will miss you, and miss Escella. I hope things straighten out for you.

Many people find the purring of small rust monsters very soothing, and the gentle vibrations a great stress releiver. Fashionable women often carry them around in their handbags, as a comfort animal. It never ends well.

But this cage with nails is so much cheaper.... And we're just going a little way with it. Like, a day's travel, two tops. I'm sure it will be fine with the less expensive cage.

They eat nails like pistachios.

Like grizzly bears and bigfoot, Rust "Monsters" have a perfect ecosystem that is interrupted by human/adventurer incursion on their natural territory. We go underground and are in their native territory, not ours, and treat them as the enemy, without consideration of the impact our presence...

Yes, I presumed we were leaving the horses. The Colonel can levitate and be pulled like a balloon....

I would be happy to commit to more than that -- two posts a week, and the game proceeds as Fitz has time. We need to find a momentum. This isn't an obligation, but non-response slows the fun for the others. (in my opinion).

To be clear, I think you are asking for questions about formatting and amount of detail, not engagement with the mechanics themselves. Is that right? Here are some thoughts on presentation: p. 1 "is the general answer" doesn't make sense. I think you means something like: A table might decide...

It is the way that the feedback is being asked in the survey. If you tick Green, there is no further need for comment. If you tick yellow or Red, they ask you why.

...to your trained, expertise skills. It also guarantees a 16 (typically) on your untrained skills as well (who needs history proficiency, or nature? not you! Also your untrained investigation (for interacting with Illusions, etc.) For these things, reliably hitting DC 15 is great. I think...

But that only guarantees you make a DC 15 -- that's doing well on pub trivia. If you want to (ever) hit a DC 20 check (let alone DC 25), you need to invest in Intelligence, and expertise. The level 6 ability raises the floor; does nothing about pushing the ceiling.
