No, there isn't a use it and lose it on a Notice check. There may be temporary Aspects that if you tag them they're used up, but I'm trying to tag any Aspects in my posts.

However, there are some strategies. You could use a roll to create an Aspect for a searcher. For example, you might say, "I'd like to shine my lights to assist the searcher." The GM could say, "That sounds like you're trying to CREATE AN ADVANTAGE. Roll for it. If you hit a TN 2, then you'll overcome the DARK SHADOWS for the searcher."

Or something to that effect.

Do you see the field after "Add new roll:"? Change it from Basic to Fate. Fate Dice aren't 1d4.

I'll be busy with an assignment this week, so I might not show up until... the Thursday after the next. I wish I could play, but I can't afford to distract myself. See you next week folks.

After losing hours of creative writing on characters multiple times, I just can't see using this site as I have noted. I'm exiting this site.

I'm sorry to hear that @GeneCortess. I wish I knew how to help you.

I'm sorry to hear that as well. I hope you haven't lost anything irreplaceable.

I'm back! Sorta, kinda. I will try to post at least once a day, but I'm still reeeally busy with IRL stuff. Got that one assignment done at least, though!

I will have more free time some 6 days from now.

Just to make sure, I'm gonna ask a question with a probably obvious answer: trying to Overcome that Red Herring aspect is not going to turn up anything interesting/relevant, right?

And a question for my fellow players: anyone put any points into Resources?

I copied this out of the SRD (Italics added) to help me better understand teamwork. If we're supposed to sort out who has the top skill, this is like an invitation to metagame a bit, right?

Characters can help each other out on actions. There are two versions of helping in Fate—combining skills, for when you are all putting the same kind of effort into an action (like using Physique together to push over a crumbling wall), and stacking advantages, for when the group is setting a single person up to do well (like causing multiple distractions so one person can use Stealth to get into a fortress).

When you combine skills, figure out who has the highest skill level among the participants. Each other participant who has at least an Average (+1) in the same skill adds a +1 to the highest person’s skill level, and then only the lead character rolls. So if you have three helpers and you’re the highest, you roll your skill level with a +3 bonus.

If you fail a roll to combine skills, all of the participants share in the potential costs—whatever complication affects one character affects all of them, or everyone has to take consequences. Alternatively, you can impose a cost that affects all the characters the same.

So, I'm only thinking of someday GMing it, but who here would be interested in playing classic "medieval" fantasy, or science-fantasy mixing medieval and sci-fi aesthetics (something like Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind or Viriconium) in Fate RPG?

I'm always interested in nearly everything, but that's hardly a surprise to anyone who's been here a minute. I've played Fate Core briefly in Sci Fi twice (once including in Rifts), and ran a game set in a Steampunk world (but that was more RP-heavy than an honest play of the game mechanics). So playing in fantasy or science fantasy would be great.

Good to know. Now a question for another kind of game which I'm much more likely to run anytime soon: who'd be interested in playing a Pokemon game in Fate Accelerated? Either in a normal Pokemon setting or a human-less Pokemon Mystery Dungeon setting.

Oh, and a question pertaining to the game we're currently in. Do I need to roll to get everyone else's flashlights fixed as well, or can I just say I do it?

You can fix them if you take the time.

If I wanted to do it fast, could I roll? And, if I could, should I roll to fix the camcorder separately?

Even fast it will be a minute, longer for the camcorder. But yes you can roll. For the cameras, TN 2 it's a minute to get all of them, hit TN it's only 4 thirty seconds.

For the camcorder, TN 2 to diagnose it.
