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.

    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.
