[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 8384354, member: 27996"] I'm not familiar with Fate, never ran, never played, so I will not comment on it. PbtA, BitD, Those are actually very conventional RPGs, just with tight genre focus mechanics. (I have an opinion why they seem to trip up some people, but that is another discussion...) I am very familiar with: Dungeon World, Monster of the Week, and Blades in the Dark. BitD ran fine when one of my group ran a short campaign, and the only thing he ran before was a CoC one shot a year previous, with his last serious turn as a GM years before that. That was the first BitD game I played in. Same with the GM who runs our Tuesday night game using PbtA. His previous experience was running nothing but so-called "traditional" games D&D, RQ, Vampire, Homebrew systems, etc... The last few RPG Campaigns run by our Sunday group over the past 5 years: Shadowrun 4, Demon nWoD, 5e D&D, StarWars (Homebrew system based on d6 - I GM and it is ongoing) One shots/ Short Campaigns: CoC, 2d20 Conan (I ran), Short BitD campaign. Tuesday group: A long running group I joined 5 years ago: Homebrew d10 diepools system, PbtA Monster of the Week, DungeonWorld, a series of PbtA based (Home hack) short superhero campaigns since. Before me they played tons of stuff including Fate. I Could ask their opinions on it when I next get a chance. So long as you have the GM/Players RPG set up; is is merely an issue of grokking the rules of a given game. I will readily say that sometimes people bounce off of rules sets. Like me and Champions/HERO... Played it, read the rules, and I will never GM that monstrosity! Now if we go out into the realm of [I]StoryGames[/I], then that is a different kettle of fish... Those games do not do things the same as an RPG. [/QUOTE]
