Title: Alternative Amber Game (Design Thread)
Post by: SaintAndSinner on November 29, 2007, 10:00:41 AM
For anyone interested, I'm working on an alternative way to run Amber games over here:

http://www.story-games.com/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=4899&page=1#Item_12

It may seem a little Byzantine but I promice the resolution mechanics I'm going for will be very much in the background.  I will give the final version to anyone who is interested (especially if they contribute to the discussion).

Thanks,
Scott

Hum... It seems the topic is invisible to non-registered. I've visionned the first 10 pages of topics, even using the "search" fonction of firefox. To no avail :(.

Are you using Logrus or Pattern to find it?

Anyone have a suggestion where I could run a discussion like this so that everyone may participate (I'll need somewhere I can drop the file since I don't have time to email everyone).  I would use this forum otherwise.  ;)

Gotta say, not interested.
Diceless by Design is doing that, so I'll just wait for them...

Thanks though, may be why others are waiting too.

A while back there was a thread on rpg.net forums about hacking FATE and
PDQ to work together. Tword the end of the discussion an interesting
suggestion was made about a FATE/PDQ hybrid using only FATE invokes and
compels. I made an initial stab at this on the thread
http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=7431018&postcount=66 and have kept
working on it off and on over the last couple of months. Since Amber
is my favorite game/setting I've applied what I've been able to put
together to it.

If your interested check it out. http://johnpaul613.livejournal.com/
Oh, Good Stuff = Fate points for those familiar with FATE.
