If you don't know, fate core is a generic rp system where you can make any character in any genre. This is because the stat blocks are up to interpretation and you don't need to pick race or class. Instead, you describe aspects of your character to be true and then those are used to determine the type of roll if any. There will be a list of set skills though and certain campaign specific rules (called extra) will set in stone certain important restrictions.

It is also a cool system because it recommends world building as a group. So this game will be two parts, this forum to suggest locations, faces, and other campaign ideas and then the voice game we play over discord. I am planning to do the game Friday evenings est for at least 4 hours. I will write a basic framework to follow, the player submissions will be used as much as I can work out within that framework.

Ideas to get us started:
Magic and Psionics are real but weak and grossly inferior to science. They are more natural though and have a few things science hasn't worked out yet.

We will use pseudoscience as a kind of magic system where you pull out random experimental gadgets to deal with the task at hand. You will have to roll per use though (at lesser difficulty) to prevent it from breaking.

Class of paranormal entities: (to be fleshed out with rules so you can play detective)
Deity
Free Roaming Vapor
Manipulator
Possessor
Ghost Touched
Witch(Half Deity)
Psychic(Maybe just rename Ghost Touched this)
Extraplanar
Plane Touched(Things like werewolves)
