FAE uses approaches instead of skills. This can seem foreign but I'd like us to give it a go and see how we like/don't like it. Approaches are descriptions of how you accomplish tasks. Everyone has the same six approaches, each with a different rating:

Rules

We will be using the Fate Accelerated (FAE) rules, which is a rules light version of Fate Core. Great for pickup games!

Part of the fun of the gameday will be character creation, which will take less than a half hour.

Approaches, not Skills

FAE uses approaches instead of skills. This can seem foreign but I'd like us to give it a go and see how we like/don't like it. Approaches are descriptions of how you accomplish tasks. Everyone has the same six approaches, each with a different rating: Careful, Clever, Flashy, Forceful, Quick, Sneaky

Aspect Creation

Each character will have 3-5 aspects, depending on how many you create.

  • High Concept—this is basically the description of the character, e.g. Paladin to the goddess of home and hearth
  • Trouble—this is some issue that your character has, e.g. I'm so vain, I probably think that bard song is about me
  • Other aspects to round out your character, e.g. Womanizer with taste and standards, The world revolves around me, and Defender of my loved ones and allies.

Aspect creation will be seeded by using the Short Order Heroes cards.

Roles on the ship

Everyone will have a role on the ship. This will most likely be randomly assigned.

  • Captain, Pilot, Computer Expert, Wanted Criminal, Medic, Prostitute, and the Mechanic was unused.

Swearing

Swearing in foreign languages is encouraged.
