[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 9515113, member: 5142"] I'm reading this but I keep getting snagged on one repeated detail in all of this: since when has the Trojan Horse contained any Trojan Warriors? Did I read a different Iliad? Or is this like when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? [IMG alt="with GIF"]https://media4.giphy.com/media/86qjyb7ewUJmU/200.gif[/IMG] It feels a bit like being threatened with a good time. Though to be fair, a lot of cakes (Torten) in Germany and Austria are basically a single layer. So cake on cake actually sounds like a proper American cake. 🤷‍♂️ To do so in Fate, the player is not just spending points to introduce these things willy nilly. Spending a point requires (1) engaging with the mechanics, (2) engaging with the fiction, and (3) a discussion with agreement. First they have to invoke an Aspect - a mechanical representation of the fiction - that is in play, whether that Aspect is that of a character, NPC, or the scene. Any new player introduced fiction for character or setting details must be connected to the available Aspects. So the first question that a GM should ask if a player wants to use a Fate point to add new narrative details shoud always be, "What Aspect are you invoking?" If they are not invoking an Aspect, it's a fumble. Moreover, doing so should "follow the fiction." [I]The table as a whole[/I] then discusses if the introduced fiction makes sense. [/QUOTE]
