This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

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 :(.

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.
