This is another go at running the Eberron setting using Fate, this time using the Accelerated rules. I'll be taking the players through the storyline of the Across Eberron: The Convergence Manifesto adventures. This means a wild and rollicking romp all over Eberron in which the player characters try and retrieve artifacts for a mysterious benefactor. No experience with the rules system or the setting is required.

I'm going back to Eberron and hoping to take four bold and daring souls with me. We'll be using the Fate Accelerated rules set to tell a tale of two fisted action and noir intrigue that stretches across the length and breadth of Khorvaire and beyond! If you want to play post here or PM me with what's attracting you to the game. No knowledge of the setting or system required.

I love Eberron and I’m familiar with the Fate Accelerated ruleset, so the temptation to join this adventure is almost irresistible! My English isn’t perfect, though, so I might make some mistakes when writing. If that’s not a problem, I’d be happy to take part.

Just realized I never put a time limit on this thread. I’ll accept applications through Friday August 22nd.

I've played a little bit of Eberron and really like the setting. Since you put up your interest check I've been reading and watching a lot of Fate information. I really enjoy trying new systems and Fate Accelerated feels one step above completely freeform - which I have done only once in the past. I think it will be a fun challenge as I usually play crunchy systems like D&D and PF.

I enjoy Fate. I like the freewheeling approach of Fate Accelerated, and I think it's quite fun for a fantasy setting. Fate Accelerated gives colourful characters with lots of personality, while being easier to represent than Fate Condensed (which I also like)

However, I don't know nothing the Eberron setting at all. I'm willing to read any public domain stuff on the setting. If you're willing to take me under my limitations, I'd be happy join.

Interested and thinking of playing a classic Gnomish Artificer

I like what Eberron does for expanding options in fantsy RPG and Fate Accelerated is a fairly light rule set and flexible enough to handle the potential wierdness. Count me as interested.

I found the first attempt at this campaign promising, so I got curious when I saw another one is being made. Admittedly, I'm wary of it not working out again, but I'm up for trying. System-wise, FATE Core/Condensed has been an easy-to-jump-in one for me for a while, though Accelerated less so (I had some mixed impressions from Accelerated games, but I'm up for trying again).

Setting-wise, I should admit upfront that Changelings/Doppelgängers are the biggest appeal to me, though I'm also finding Warforged of interest. In terms of æsthetics, Tieflings are also cool in a way. Then there's the consideration of the setting's more original choice of technology level.

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)?

It seems this isn’t the first attempt to bring Eberron and Fate together. Out of curiosity, how did the first attempt go? Did you finish the adventure? Which version of Fate did you use?
Aug 18, 2025 12:18 pm
I used Fate Core and we didn’t finish. Unfortunately I let some personal matters take over my life and stopped playing on the site for a while.

@vicky_molokh I am interested in having you play again. Let me see who all responds and then I’ll choose players.

I’m sorry to hear that, I hope this attempt will go better. I’ve played Fate Core once, but it didn’t really grab me. On the other hand, I’ve used Fate Accelerated to run a Westworld-inspired adventure: I think it works really well for the narrative side (the mechanic for compelling aspects is awesome), a bit less so for combat—though that’s mainly if you reduce it to just an exchange of blows.

I'd love to play FAE again and I enjoyed Joshua's GM style before.
Unfortunately I can't do 1 post per day :( otherwise I'd be all over this game! Hope you all enjoy it.

Invites are sent. Unfortunately I don't have room for everyone. For those that didn't get invited, if spots open up I'll let you know.
