Arrived reasonably recently, thanks to another impeccable Sine Nomine kickstarter.
Highly recommended.
FASERIP Traveller
FASERIP – Traveller – anyone ever done that?
I’ve been considering the Guardians of the Galaxy, given a recent writeup and arrival.
I have been considering a rough rule of thumb for the purpose of the exercise…15 or F is Remarkable…and perhaps some sort of exponential scale from there, so Incredible is G, Amazing is H, etc. No combat details or anything worked out there.
Perhaps Jack of All Trades is your Typical skill level and 1 is Good, that sort of thing.
So the Excellent Agility Star-Lord might have Pistol 3 and the Marksman Rocket Raccoon with Remarkable Agility might have Rifle 5…that sort of thing.
Powers would have Skill Levels perhaps and ones that blast etc. damage extrapolated from equating the Traveller ones and the MSH weapons that are similar. Remarkable is 5D or that sort of thing. In MSH terms an Unearthly space cannon would not quite splat an all-15 or Remarkable character…so that could be in the 10-12D ballpark.

FATE: NCIS
A team of cops investigate an ever-lengthening list of reasons not to work for the US Navy and related organisations near Virginia.

ADVENTURING
At the beginning, roll 4dF
+0 Dead Marine
+1 Dead Marine Petty Officer
-1 Dead Navy Personnel

-2 Dead Marine Senior Officer
+3 Dead Navy Senior Officer
-3 Dead Navy Senior Officer who was also a terrorist
+4 Dead Navy Senior Officer who was also a spy
-4 Dead Navy Senior Officer who was also a spy and a terrorist
The GM and players then construct an investigation. This will make a good short oneshot. There are enough characters in the cast below except for an exceedingly large gaming group. In that case, make up a guest star NCIS team of agents to work with.
Basic investigation checklist
1. Where was the body found
2. What condition was the body in and what evidence was found
3. Who knew the victim
4. Why was the victim killed
5. Who are the suspects
6. What are the possible motives
7. Who is most likely to have done it
8. Who actually did it

Omnis Mundi – Tasmania
FATE : Omnus Mundi – Tasmania
Draft 1.0 – October 3, 2013 – Blue Tyson
TASMANIA
A shining beacon of technological might and communications superiority. All alone in a prehistoric megafauna wonderland.
How did this isolated Australian state remain so advanced?
The legends say it was through the efforts and leadership of one man:
KnightMark.
The stories conflict. A run of the mill citizen taking advantage of an opportunity. A crazed drunken madmen adherent of an ancient code of athletic competition. A teacher. A renegade Sword Saint. A racing driver.
Whatever the background, the reality is this: a grizzled cyborg, more machine than man. A tattooed brown half-face with one jewelled optic piece in place of an eye. Some believe he was alive in the Time Before and wants to keep Tasmania as close to a Golden Land as he can.
While not official policy, the disappearance or death of those pushing religious propaganda or authoritarian lines are extremely unlikely to be noticed, let alone investigated. The Sword Saint mortality rate is higher here than anywhere else in the world, it is said.

Extra
Thylacine Guard Trio
KnightMark is generally accompanied by his protectors and friends, three megafauna extremely intelligent Tasmanian Tigers. While he may not be an overwhelming physical specimen, Buddi, Ruffy and Syril most definitely are. Buddi is an all rounder, Ruffy is a strong, hulking brute and Syril lean and very fast. Massive Trouble, Damage and Speed, if you like.

Northern Tasmania
The area around Burnie is evolving into an almost-Metropolis. In fact, a nascent spaceport exists just outside Devonport, guarded by a force of giant DiprotoMecha. The town of what in ancient history was Elliott is now a giant server farm.
Cradle Mountain is generally off limits, home to the Yowie. This species of hairy giant mountain man takes a dim view of tourists. Except perhaps with tomato sauce added. And Lake St Clair most definitely has monsters within.
Southern Tasmania
The ruins of Hobart are home to several tribes of Wallaby Men and other intelligent marsupial species. Further out from there the bush becomes more and more prehistoric.
One notable predator may be found in the Tasmanian bush. The fearsome drop bear. While generally happily omnivorous, surviving on the local eucalpyts and smaller wildlife, the presence of foreigners inspires a lethal bloodlust. The Wallaby Men don’t bad an eyelid, as these giant furry bundles of Death From Above only attack anything that doesn’t have a significant portion of Australian DNA. In fact, the local tribes and the not unintelligent beasts often warned of in guidebooks as Drop Bears may even have a mutually beneficial working arrangement. Massive Athletics and Damage from claws. Great climbing ability and +2 on attacking and surprising those without sufficient Australian DNA.
Find any ancient palaeontogical tome about the Great Southern Land. Assume it was extremely correct if you value your life exploring the Tasmanian wilderness.

Edison Rex
FATE: Monkeybrain - Edison Rex
Valiant is an alien Superman level hero plot to subjugate the world. When Edison Rex proves it, he convinces Valiant to kill himself. This leaves the supervillain Lex Luthoresque strongman as the only person that can defend the world from an alien threat. Or giant monster threat. Or supervillain threat. Or what if Tom Strong was a Lex Luthor without a Superman, so he has to be Doc Savage? An elegy for past superhero universes subsumed by corporate monsters. A homage to favorites, a commentary on styles of story and more. Plus fun, four-colour superheroics.
Draft 1.0 April 25, 2013 - Blue Tyson
SETTING
A multiple level story, fun for kids, commercial commentary, style commentary and homage to favorite characters like Tom Strong is for Chris Roberson. So we get an evil reformed Tom Strong, a megalomaniac Tesla Strong, a Howard the Duck Tom Strong and Nazi Tom Strong to go along with giant monsters and multiple universe. Basically, the sort of craziness comics are great at in fast-paced fashion. A universe open to possibilities.
ISSUES
The Evil Aliens Are Coming.
I have to not be a supervillain.
Giant Godzilla type monsters abound
No, M'Alizz we won't conquer the world. Even if it is easier.
The other universal versions of me are nazis. Or dinosaurs. Or fascists. Or all three and megalomaniacs, even if they are ducks.

ADVENTURING
Fight giant monsters. Save the world from alien invasions. All the classics.
You need to increase your popularity to the positive so people will trust you. By doing all the above, publicly. He hasn’t yet thought to hire a PR genius. Another possible player character, for sure.
Plus deal with interdepartmental office politics as the various rather strong willed underlings run their departments and perhaps want more.
Or fight off analogues of yourself from another universe.
Or fight off the Dark Blight. Who might be a Sun Eater type monster that can destroy worlds.
Prosecute slander with lawyers if you must.
Take this cast and have as many four colour tongue-in-cheek adventures you like, on Earth or in space. Or versus mole men or evil shark lords. You get the idea.

SCALE AND SUPERPOWERS
Generally a level of superpower scales means an automatic EXTRA +1 on a roll.
So if a Remarkable superstrong person's roll to lift something is +1 +1 0 -1 for a roll of +1 then they have +1 and +1 for their superstrength for a +2.
For any skill, the scale number is the automatic successes done when rolling. So Spider-Man is 4dF+2 when attempting a roll involving his Strength.
For superhuman abilities some simple tables.

The Dark Is Rising
FAE: The Dark is Rising
Draft 1.0 - August 19, 2013 - Blue Tyson
A Newbery Medal winning children's book series by Susan Cooper, with Arthurian, Celtic and Norse mythological and fantasy themes, set in England and Wales. The old theme of the struggle between Dark and Light, manipulating humanity from the outside.
A couple of prophetic poems foreshadow the events of the five book sequence.
The Dark is Rising
When the Dark comes rising, six shall turn it back;
Three from the circle, three from the track;
Wood, bronze, iron; water, fire, stone;
Five will return, and one go alone.
Iron for the birthday, bronze carried long;
Wood from the burning, stone out of song;
Fire in the candle-ring, water from the thaw;
Six Signs the circle, and the grail gone before.
Fire on the mountain shall find the harp of gold
Played to wake the Sleepers, oldest of the old;
Power from the green witch, lost beneath the sea;
All shall find the light at last, silver on the tree.
Grail Poem
On the day of the dead, when the year too dies,
Must the youngest open the oldest hills
Through the door of the birds, where the breeze breaks.
There fire shall fly from the raven boy,
And the silver eyes that see the wind,
And the light shall have the harp of gold.
By the pleasant lake the Sleepers lie,
On Cadfan’s Way where the kestrels call;
Though grim from the Grey King shadows fall,
Yet singing the golden harp shall guide
To break their sleep and bid them ride.
When light from the lost land shall return,
Six Sleepers shall ride, six Signs shall burn,
And where the midsummer tree grows tall
By Pendragon’s sword the Dark shall fall.
Y maent yr mynyddoedd yn canu,
ac y mae’r arglwyddes yn dod.
(The mountains are singing, and the Lady comes.)
--Susan Cooper

MAGIC
Three types:
Old Magic - that of the Light and the Dark
The various agents of either sides can use their abilities in a variety of ways, including to hide their activities from humans. Generally to be approached as a Create Advantage.
Wild Magic - from primal forces and entities
To gain access to aid or information here will generally require a Challenge.
High Magic - The most powerful kind
To gain access to aid or information here will generally require a Challenge and a Contest.
PLAYING THE GAME
Old Ones have superpowers but should not be using them when NPC humans will get in the way, keeping a lid on. Use will also attract enemies from the other side. In scenes this will mean the Old Ones are decoys and defenders as the humans try to achieve the actual goals as is often the case in the series.
Play Tweaks
1. A possible away to approach this is that being an Old One costs refresh and Old Magic stunts cost Fate Points to use, keeping the magic low key and Light-Dark conflicts short.
2. Give human characters extra refresh is another possibility to reflect their pivotal role. A bit Dresden Files either of these.
3. Instead, have Old One magic use of any significant level cost multiple Fate Points.
