In Part I, I covered a few of the basic ways that travel can be handled. In this second installment I’ll give some examples of slightly specific Extras that can be used to add more detail to or just spice it up a little bit. These can either be used by themselves or possibly combined […]
After a lot of tweaking, I finally got my character sheet done for Fate of Vimary. It’s interesting how just having the character sheet done makes things seem more concrete, more of a thing. The other awesome thing is while I’ve always created custom character sheets for various games, the tools available now totally beat […]
This took a while to figure out. There are numerous ways of handling weapons and armor in Fate Core. Balancing out the costs and how they work as extras is a pretty big deal, and is something there aren’t a huge number of guidelines for. Fortunately there are a lot of ideas out there. The […]

There are a lot great thinkers on the Fate Core Google+ group who helped bounce ideas around, particularly +Jack Gulick. I’m also considering moving over to Andrew Jensen’s ideas on […]
Tribe 8 in Fate Core is coming along nicely. It’s gotten to the point where I have to plan what portions I need to draft out in terms of Extras.

Got the draft (hit the link for the Google doc) completed for the Sigils in the Dixton setting. They are probably going to need some tweaking, but overall I’m pleased with how they turned out. Many thanks go to +Rob Donoghue for his channeling “hack” that helped set the mechanics up in my mind and +Cameron Corniuk, +Andy Hauge, +Jack Stephenson-Carr and +Mike Thompson for […]
