I’m thinking of running a game of Fate Core for some mates. Fate is sufficiently different to other role playing games that I thought I should pull together notes on the things to cover with the newbies. This is basically the Cheat Sheet from the rules with explanatory text and is based on the 2011 Fred Hicks post on The Core of Fate Core.
Fate Accelerated Edition (FAE)
Fate Accelerated Edition (FAE), or just Fate Accelerated, is a streamlined version of the Fate Core rules based on the same mechanisms but intended to get players into the game faster.
One notable difference is that skills are replaced with six “approaches” to solving problems – Careful, Clever, Flashy, Forceful, Quick, and Sneaky. The approaches can each use all four skill actions.
