I once killed a PC with Diablo 3. Always a pity. I'm enjoying Witcher 3 quite a bit but boy does Geralt control really clunkily. Navigating tight areas in particular does not feel good in the slightest

Let me introduce you all to the wonderful world of microfiche!

If you haven't played Fate Accelerated, it's still just basically that, only instead of Aspects everything is boiled down to five "approaches" and everyone tries to use the one they have the biggest number in, even if it makes no sense. I love the idea of Fate but I've never been particularly...

I mean I'm on record as a major Fate skeptic (and even more major Fate Accelerated hater) so it really does not surprise me to see their FitD stuff selling much better, but Fate was practically the center of the "but what else?" discussion in TTRPGs for so long, and I know it has it's devoted...
