Hi, all:

I'm about 3/4 done coding up a Strands of Fate ruleset (no special skinning yet) for my group (see screenshot), and I thought I'd poll those who've played the game (if any) about what you'd like to see in a ruleset for this game. I'm new to Fate (thanks to vodokar for introducing me the the Dresden Files through his game), but love it. Strands of Fate looks like just what I've been looking for, but haven't had the chance to play it yet.

So far I have Advantages detail, custom stress tracks, and double-click Fate dice rolling on Ability scores and Affinity abilities, and customized npc listings. On deck maybe are a Unit npc option and a tab for minions/alternate forms.

So, those of you in the know: what should a SoF ruleset have to make play more convenient in FG2, or what would you like to see?

Thanks,
Brian

Wow, better than my effort! :)

As long as it has all the FG "bells and whistles" it should work out great! :D

Hi, folks:

New baby is on the way and the wife is on bed-rest (doctor's orders). I won't have much time to work on this for awhile, so I thought I'd release it into the wild. It's my first ruleset, so there may be some ugly code in there. (DF code is prettier). :D

I haven't gotten around to skinning it, and there are a lot of kinks to work out, but the basics are there and the combat tracker seems to work. (Note on that: to switch stress tracks in the CT, just type the first couple of letters in the track name in the track name field in the CT entry, and it will switch up. It defaults to Physical).

Hope someone finds it useful.

(Couldn't seem to be able to upload it to the forums, so here is a dropbox link (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5964125/fg/StrandsOfFate_v01.zip)).

PS -- Got informal permission from Mike McConnell to release this as a fan project.

PPS -- Feedback is most welcome, but again I might not get the chance to work on this for awhile yet.

Hmm. Works fine for me. Maybe your browser settings are preventing the download? :confused: I'm on Windows 7 with IE 9, and I notice that in that browser the Save or Open prompt is now at the bottom of the window...

I downloaded it. Now do I rename it, or unzip it?

Thanks!:D

You actually trash it! :) I don't know what happened, but that file is horribly corrupt. Fixing it now.

Try this one. Unzip it to your ruleset folder.

Hey Kairos? Would mind if I posted this to the FGWiki?

Is there any specific text you wanted to have added to it if I do?

Hi, Drahkar:

Yes, please do. No specific text at the moment. It could use a spot of documentation, but maybe I'll do that on a future release.

Thanks,
K
