Mine was a battle against a rival gang (we are working with them for backstory reasons), they had a manticore and we are level 3 so it was intense. Most of us finished with 2 or so hp! But looking forward to finally be level 4 after a year.

    Wow, your DM should learn some design best practices. I have started to look for a new system a while ago, my main problem has been that my party is not as deep as me in RPGs. Im a fate guy and them are dnd because its their first game

        Why were you constantly failing? The few times I’ve been able to play Fate I felt like I succeeded on all the stuff I wanted to, and picked my poisons on troubles.

        It was really satisfying for my Space Nazi Hunter to invoke like four aspects at once to really make sure the space Nazi leader got his head blown clean off. Also satisfying to get fate points by starting nonsense with my “faked own death to escape corporate espionage charges” trouble.

        Might’ve just been lucky with a good gm

          @jjjalljs kinda exactly? “Hero” a-la Snow Crash obviously had a “best swordsman in the meta verse” aspect. But did he have to spend a date point to win the swordfight when he was challenged in a bar early on?

          In my game, my character was supposed to be talky-McTalk face, and I failed to talk my way into a bar because I wasn’t willing to spend a fate point to do so. I shouldnt have had to.

      Are you me? Fate is my big game crush and it’s hard to get people to play it. And then hard to break them out of the DND mindset.

      At least I finally got some people to play Mage. Been wanting to do that for years.
