Heya. I am a GM thinking about setting up a campaign and I have some fun ideas for mechanics. This is one of them

Aspects always give a +1 to relevant rolls. But you can only choose one of the 'areas' Aspects like to hang out in. One character, one scene, one scenario and one opposition Aspect at most. You can not spend FATE points to push up the bonus to a +2, instead you can spend them to grab more than one Aspect per 'area'. One per FATE point spent.

Stunts also only grant +1, to ground them a bit, but can alternatively give 2 shifts of success. So you actively have to choose between accuracy or "damage". Free invokes also only enable you to choose that Aspect in addition to another on

Now I rarely need to do so, but I was wondering how I exit cocoon and get back to the boring old android

I really like it

That Amy and Victoria are together like... a paladin? Amy is the lay on hands, Victoria is the shield, strength and aura...

No having their curse and mystery rolled into one does not feel the same

I even feel like its so different from what we have now, they could just release a separate PF1e Oracle class. Call it curse-bound or something. Maybe slap free-choice tradition on top, even if that clashes with Oracle. But I feel like thats very PF2e. Witch and Sorcerer also have this...

But yeah. I want my curses back. Make me break all the things I wear or have permanently burnt skin. That was so much more identity-wise than just... charging yourself up with magic so much you begin floating. It was also much more disability coded, and that made it much more relatable imo

I am currently at book 14 chapter 4. And... I don't know if I can take any more of the meandering anxiety of the plot. It was all building up to the conclusion of book 13 so far, and I was hoping the gurls would get some rest soon. But no. Lucy and Verona are even worse off. And Lucy even describes like a tightening sort of anxious feeling. But like this is what the plot has been since like middle of the Blue Heron so far....

Like the stakes get ever higher and the girls just get into more and more danger ever since Lucy got her earring. And I dont think I can take much more of this. I want them to just be happy for a change. Enjoy... cozy autumn time since the summer is over. Make peace wi

I still really don't like the ending. The ending-animation is imo the worst of the cascade - game over - collide trilogy. It should be the big show stopper to end them all but it falls flat for me

And I really hate how unresolved it all is. It screams 'read my sequel' to me. And no I will not do that. I am done with Homestuck, I do not want to read the epilogues and play whatever many more games to finally put an end to this. I am meeting the ending where this game/ animation/ comic has left me. And its... fine. Lord English is defeated... somehow I guess. We will never see when the heroes actually return after being Juju'd, or why they fight Caliborn after creating a new universe? Thats fi

I personally think that all of the colours are really great. To the point that I would probably like almost all of them. And its great that we can just choose

I just wanted to spread some good vibes. I heard about this game like yesterday, looked into it and was charmed by all the skills. Like what do you mean you sometimes can get random skills, including gender studies? Somewhere I heard there's a mushroom language? And dying is a skill. Its all fun

I only had a somewhat short gamin' session so far, but its all great. Because of all the depth I never feel like I am 'doing something wrong' because at least some funny skill is getting its fireworks. And I am looking forward to discovering lots on my own hopefully

Since you can get most skills on any one character I also hope I won't fall into the alt-aholic trap I usually fall into. Since I can

I have not finished the comic yet >!(Act6 Act 3)!<, but to me the classes + aspects seem somewhat random. Kinda like your echeladder

But it seems some people take this way too seriously, and I love it. This is the kind of thing a fandom just does. Adding meaning and personality traits to the classes and speculating what the aspects could do. Its all good fun

But I would not be surprised if in a new Sburb/ Sgrub/ whatever session there would be like... idk an Accountant of Boylarks or something. Its just so fun because it could be anything I feel like. Getting into the deeper lore I also vaguely remember that the game session literally fakes a heroes journey for the characters where it just

Sometimes I really dislike them. Usually I like when a different perspective gets shown, and the interludes are sometimes really creative with that

But usually they are right after a cliffhanger and are in a completely different part of the story. Often at a different time or something. And sometimes I just... dont really want to. Move away from where the action happens. So I can read about something else that is only tangentially important to the plot

How crazy would it be if three distinct female characters were in fact three characters and not a revolving door of costumes?

So I migrated a campaign into FU as a GM (it was in a pbta system before so dont worry that I am just a D&D transfer student). Now we are currently playing in a very relaxed pace, letting the heroes breathe in and smell the flowers so to say. My worry is that because you gain a level at least every other session, we might out-level the system before we get anywhere. Thats why I ask you what you think about this issue.

• Do I worry to much and does the lvl-progression just kind of work itself out? (I mean there are 44 whole levels still ahead)
• Should I just ignore it for now and worry about it, if its actually coming up?
• Is there some kind of lvl-reset or meta-progression I could use

Theres an extermination... I mean angel war hanging on the horizon. Charlie and Vaggie have their communication issues which they resolve almost instantly. No one believes in what the hotel does. Alastor is a weird pushover. Angel Dust and Husker have their weird will they won't they that never gets concluded

The only character that does not feel like a S1 copy is Sir Repentious, and probably because he was put in a big no-plot box

After not wearing my CAR for a while, it seems to me that I am CI 4 now! I started this journey in 2021 with CI 3. And it took a while to find a method or device that works well for me, but here we are
