Interest Check - Fate of Eberron v3.0

I want to return to the Eberron game I was running here using the Fate Condensed system. Would anyone be interested in playing?

Interesting... Eberron without D&D. I've played in a couple of Eberron games. I like the setting, definitely not an expert.

I've never played Fate, but I like trying new systems. I've skimmed through the Fate Condensed rules. I'm curious how magic would work with this approach. Do you intend to have a number of Skills devoted to magic with a character then able to have Stunts related to specific expertise?

Not one hundred percent certain how we’ll handle magic. Characters will definitely have to have an aspect that gives them permission to use magic, probably built into their high concept. There are a couple of different Fate based systems out there to use. I’m still noodling on it.

A known topic with Fate. Solved multiple times in different ways. Here is a fine thread about it:

Ambivalence. I still miss my changeling eldritch bard from a previous attempt at this campaign, whom I'd like to see come back to life. But I'm also wary of a third attempt also being abruptly interrupted.

What's your view of the ways and reasons the previous two attempts ended, and do think anything is different this time?

To be frank I’m the reason neither game saw a conclusion. In the past my irl issues have kept me from finishing games here. I’d like to try again. I love this site and this game set and this setting.

What's the campaign premise this time?

I have to admit the primary appeal of Eberron for me stays the same as before, and this fact may interplay awkwardly with the idea of trying again.

At this moment I don’t have a campaign premise. I just want to run this setting using this rules set. If people are interested in playing we’ll come up with something.

I am as ambivalent as vicky_molokh, and if there is no story or general premise then I'll pass.

Totally understandable. I’ll come up with a storyline and post again when I have something.

After giving it some thought, I’d like to run the Convergence Manifesto storyline of adventures. Player characters start as members of the Clifftop Adventurers Guild in Sharn and soon find themselves traveling the length and breadth of Khorvaire on missions for a mysterious benefactor. It’s very pulpy, with lots of great role playing potential as well.

I am interested, both in Fate and in Eberon as I only have limited experience with both. Actually playing would require a heads up when it eill start and to fit the post rate in with my other games.

As this has hat multiple failed attempts I suggest planning a short story first to see if it is sustainable. Either a single stand alone adventure or the first chapter in the selected storyline. Focus more on group and current story enjoyment than the long term plot.

Yes I’ll run the first adventure and we’ll go from there.

I've decided to go with Fate Accelerated instead of Core/Condensed.

Oh, that shakes things up a lot, hehe.

Here are my ideas about what I might be up for playing in case of acceptance into the campaign:

• Continuing playing the Changeling Eldritch Bard from your earlier attempt, adjusted for the new campaign and ruleset. Not sure how that would map onto the Approaches though.
• Some variation of a shadowy blade-wielding psychic or spell-user (something like a Hexblade in terms of æsthetics but not necessarily lore). Probably tiefling or changeling. Unsure how much of an overlap there is between things that interest me and what makes sense in the lore and in the way you'll be handling magic-users. Likely Forceful, Quick, Careful.
• Rennaissance Warforged Gadgeteer. Built-in tools and blades and dart-throwers, jumping and swinging from a grappling hook, cooking up alchemical substances and the like. Quick, Clever, and not sure what else.

Would you be interested in seeing me as a player again, and if yes, what do you think about those three concepts, and what should I know about how you want to handle the lore and mechanics of the topics relating to them (most notably, magic and/or psionics)?

I would be very interested in recreating The Diamond Mind. An elan psionic swordsman. Very similar to a jedi knight.

I just saw this, but it sounds fun!

Eberron is one of the few D&D settings that appeals to me at the moment (I'm kind of burned out on traditional LOTR-style medieval fantasy), and Fate fits this format better than a more tactical system in my opinion. If this were to get off the ground, I'd be interested.
