I’m afraid I messed up the formula… How do I roll four Fate dice? I wrote 4dF+3.

Ah, ok, I see what I did wrong. Sorry about that—if you want I can edit the post and re-roll. Otherwise I’ll happily take the GM’s bonus. :-P

I thought for a moment that I'd stuffed up the dice roll, but it seems that it was just all blanks.
I'm heartbroken that my first roll was the most average roll acheivable. Would have prefered "----".
Jk of course!

These are interesting dice to work with. GP roller still hates me - but differently.

@dunderklumpen - haha - I almost went through the glass. Guess I fear death more than you, which seems perfect considering.
Gutsy going with your worst trait. I'm finding the meta game of trying to leverage certain traits interesting. I had read about it keeping actions fairly consistent and I'm seeing that in action as I try to always use forceful to get the better bonus.

Using Sneaky in the midst of a public spectacle is not going to be an "every task" thing :) Fortunately I can avoid being Flashy most of the time.

Honestly, I could have tried to rationalize that as a flashy move - Caelyth is essentially showing off, but Forceful just seemed right.
And I was keen to see what an Epic fail falling to potential death would result in, but no such (bad) luck

One thing to note: if we know the target number of a roll, it makes for an easier resolution.
So for "roll to overcome 4" a player is capable of knowing what they need to do to succeed or fail and what they might need to invoke (Fate spend or free aspects )

So… have we already won? Is the contest now just between us of the Clifftop Guild?

Was honestly super-surpised to have won. Caelyth in her element accepting the acclaim from an audience, regardless of who it's for.
As an aside, I'm playing around the idea of giving a short explanation and Invoke and Compel hints for each aspects on the character sheet. Here's what I've got for Caelyth's High Concept.
Do you think this a useful explanation?
