I'm trying to think of ways to speed up Fate for PbP games a little bit.

How do you guys feel about rolling the defend actions for the NPCs?
Then you can decide if you want to spend a Fate point right away instead of waiting for me to respond.
I can post char outlines for the NPCs at the start of any contest/conflict so you know what to roll.
I'm totally fine with that. Another thing you could do is to make more use of passive defence (ie no defend rolls for NPC). That would also help speed things up.

A couple of things I've tried in different Pbp Fate games is to do the following:
- if a player attacks, then the player rolls attack against a passive defence
- if a player defends then the player rolls defend against a passive attack value.

With fate, there's always going to be discussion and negotiation for rolls given that the GM can spend fate points on a roll. So, maybe a separate thread for roll resolution (the discussion).

For Pbp, I have tried moving fate to be more "Apocalypse World (Pbta) like" where the dice rolls are always from the players reacting to GM actions. It kind of works for reducing dice rolls, but may not be your cup of tea @Redcap.

Love it. This is what I do at table too, :P I love one roll to rule them all style.

Could we also set the PC sheets to public so we can see each others Aspects for compels? What do you all think of that?

I love it. I am OK with foregoing rolls and running more like PBTA. I like your suggestions all around.

I will create a new thread for current scene information so you don't always have to ask me what the target is.

Everyone still here? Are you waiting on me for something before posting?

Maybe I missed this, are we narrating our failures or are you?

Feel free to narrate your failures, but if you don't I am happy to.

So we're still making rolls like usual?

You make rolls as usual. I dont roll anymore. Instead I set static targets. That way you can decide whether or not to invoke right away instead of waiting for my result.

Nice @Dunko. Nothing like spending a fate point to re-roll and getting a result +4 better.

I had this feeling it was going to be worse! But it was just the first roll jitters :P

Bailin gains a boost from succeeding with style on his defense.

OOC:
How exactly does a boost work?

You get a free invoke on your next action.

The enemy concedes in the conflict. What were you hoping to get from the attack?

Is anyone on the crew going to respond to Marcos or Seraphine?

I wasn't going to at first, but I figured someone ought to.
Nov 12, 2022 6:26 pm
@squadfather roll rapport against a +3 to get the crew to back down.
Nov 13, 2022 2:29 pm
I forgot to mention that both Bailin and Seraphine got a FP for the compels.
Nov 14, 2022 3:10 pm
Does anyone have any plans for what they want to do next?

Or should I move us straight on to the "hostage exchange scene?"
Nov 14, 2022 8:44 pm
Me and Marcos are just watching to see what happens, so I'm good moving at any point.
