I am a long time D&D player. I have actually played many hundreds of rpg's over the last 40 odd years but you get the idea. I'm mostly a strictly Class oriented role player.
I received both Fate Core and Fate Accelerated along with the Freeport Guide for Fate in pdf form a while back and have read them all bit by bit at night before I sleep.
I must say Fate seems very interesting and just reading it had caused me to leave my normal comfort zone role playing game wise and try and look at things from a new direction.
I have some questions that you guys might be able to help me with.
First off there is the advantage thing. I get how to make one(I think) and what it does but if I'm right about that, I have issues with it.
Lets say I and a friend are in a gunfight with a bad guy. I create a advantage (by shooting out the light) on our end of the parking garage of in the dark. Now if more of my friends came up the stairs to join us in the fight, they would have to spend a Fate Point to take advantage of the dark?
I don't get how once you do something in game to take advantage of something it then costs characters to use that advantage(I know about the free uses but there are times that doesn't even last through the scene.
It just seems like to me there can be characters standing right next to each other that use and don't use a advantage that it would make since that everyone would use.
Thanks for any help you guys have to offer.
