💫🎲💫 Lit Fantasy Classes: D&D Nerds Unite 💫🎲💫

FATE can be hard to wrap your head around. It’s very loose. It worked perfectly here because my kids basically just wanted to be silly vampire caricatures and all the fights were very cartoony. But it did work, it also worked well for the G.I. Joe comic book game I ran, but I found more veteran gamers had a harder time adapting. YMMV.
FATE is great for narrativists, looking to jointly tell a story. It’s difficult for gamists because it’s pretty loosey-goosey in the rules, so finding mechanical ‘winning strategies’ can be quite challenging. Simulationists have the hardest time with it in my experience. That said, it’s a great system for narrative-heavy groups, pretty smooth, lightweight enough to keep the creativity flowing. IMO, ymmv, ‘course.
 
One of these days I'll actually look more into these games. I do love the art I see around them, though.
Honestly, i don’t think tabletop rpgs are for everyone. Different ways of thinking - not better or worse, just different - affect how much fun you can get up to in such a setting. If they’re not your cuppa tea, ok, hope you can find some other endeavor you can enjoy!

That being said, there’re better and worse ways to try ttrpg’s. One of the biggest is to find a group you can relax around and banter with. Another is finding a group that doesn’t take themselves too seriously, but also aren’t purely chaotic. Interpersonal positives can often make good games better, and negatives can drive the fun out.
 
Good to know! LOL I often wonder about whether the type of person who can’t resist making the joke has limits that are too much even for them. Your humor is usually right up my alley, but there are a couple litsters I can easily imagine grossing themselves out on the regular

I don’t tend to joke about things that make me uncomfortable, and don’t usually feel the need to joke about things that I can see make other people uncomfortable.

But you know mistakes do happen.

That may be why you’re one of my favorites 😊 Sex and emotions and horror don’t make me uncomfortable, but I do get grossed out easily by certain things 🫣
