[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6374592, member: 6698278"] I am perhaps wrong in this regard but I am viewing aspects as anything that modifies the game and is not a skill. So things like advantages/disadvantages are traditional aspects. I want to avoid making anything an aspect that would be better represented by a skill. My system is skill heavy. I agree. I hope I came across in my post as agreeing on this. My approach to magic items is novel relative to D&D's approach. So I think this will be a lot of fun. For the most part magic items will be aspect like in their behavior or in some cases they might provide a stunt. I really am trying to create a certain playstyle that I enjoy but use a different rules approach. Just to see how it can go. I wouldn't mind checking this out but I don't want to buy the game just to check it out. I have an idea in mind for my magic system and I think it will be really cool. I do not want to come across as belligerent so please do not take me that way. I see words like "collaborative story" as code words for a particular playstyle. A style not really my cup of tea though I could see it being popular with many people. I'm for it but just not for me. I prefer a game more focused on setting and overcoming challenges to complete goals. Pretty much I want actor stance all the time. I also want to avoid metagaming. Again my sloppy use of language. I think I understood that it had to matter or you don't get the fate point. The DM wants to make your Aspect hurt you and you accept the fate point as a result. This is far better than a game like Numenera where you can buy off these compels. I was thinking that if you had a limited resource pool that refreshed between combats that it could represent stamina or energy. So you are able to give an extra effort only so many times per encounter. I probably would just not have fate points in the non-combat areas of the game. Yep. I really do get it. Especially after your explanation above. It is an elegant way of doing flaws no doubt. I just don't prefer it for my own games. I like the idea of the compel but I don't like the fate points it generates. If it could generate something else like may experience points that might work. Experience points are pretty much outside the game as they won't come up in a session. They won't affect the actual game other than the advancement rate. Not sure this works. Just playing with ideas. That is why I posted. Just to chew on ideas with other people. [/QUOTE]
