[QUOTE="J.Quondam, post: 9638422, member: 7030100"] Yeah, there are ton of them! I haven't looked at nearly all of them, but a few I've enjoyed are Secrets of Cats (FAE, you play cats), Weird World News (Core, think "Scooby Doo"), and Uranium Chef (FAE, like gladiator games + Iron Chef, but in space), among others. Really just pick a genre and run, I suppose. That said.... ... The first one I looked at was vol 1 (World on Fire) of the "Fate Worlds" ([URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/119383/fate-worlds-worlds-on-fire'][U]vol1[/U][/URL], [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/119384/fate-worlds-worlds-in-shadow'][U]vol2[/U][/URL]) set (Core). It was helpful as it has several short settings across a broad range of genres. I found that variety to be pretty instructive, so maybe one of those two books would be a good place to start, as a sort of Fate "sampler". (Edited above to indicate which are Core and FAE ([URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/114902/fate-accelerated-edition-a-fate-core-build']Fate Accelerated[/URL]). FAE is an official modified/lite game presented as a way to mod Fate Core, about 40 pages, and plays differently too (Skills in Core are "what you do", whereas in FAE they're "How you do it"). When I learned FAE is when Fate really clicked, especially its mod-ability.) [/QUOTE]
