definitely don't play exalted as a new GM because it's a clusterfuck of a game. I love it to bits but it's a clusterfuck.

01011001 posted:the mistake a lot of people make when gm'ing it is that they try to shoehorn all the poo poo like icons and OUTs in and then feel completely boxed in by all the clusterfuck that brings. theyre cool and im glad they exist but if they get in the way just do whatever with those (or use them as ways for pcs to know/do cool/relevant things) and sorts itself out I came up with my own set of icons for the game's setting so those are working out pretty okay, and my players mostly phoned in their OUTs so those are so far negligible. That's nice, because I was worried those mechanics would take over. I'm starting to play with the combat balance to make battles end faster. Players hit hard and so do enemies. Last session went better, because each battle was more of a furious skirmish than a war of attrition.

M:tG is the premier wizard roleplaying experience.fadam posted:FATE sounds really cool and perfect for my group. 90% of the time when we played 4e it was never in a fantasy setting anyway, we just reskinned the rules to fit different genres so this sounds perfect. Does anyone have any tips for getting started? I just bought the FATE Core and Toolset thing.
