DFRPG / Re: Feeding Dependency: Power loss and Consequences
« on: June 03, 2010, 01:59:38 PM »
Thank you all for the quick replies  :D

Maybe we are just overthinking the apparent problems. The FATE system is not very granular, and I think there is different level of abstraction that makes the typical "system simulation approach" a bit unnecesary. Maybe the important thing here is just to focus on the narrative itself, on how the mechanics support the story at each scene. I'm gonna try the system as is to see if the problems are really as bad as we believe.

I'll keep you informed of my experiences with it.

DFRPG / Feeding Dependency: Power loss and Consequences
« on: June 02, 2010, 04:37:39 PM »
Hi!

One of my players wants to play a Red Court Infected, and we found some problems regarding recovery from Hunger and the Feeding Dependency power. We have summarized so far:

- In order to clean up the Hunger stress track, the vampire player should: a) Win a Discipline contest against the powers' Refresh cost used during the last scene, b) skip a scene (because he's feeding), and c) killing a victim while he's feeding.

- In order to recover lost powers, the vampire player should: a) Skip a scene (because he's feeding) for 1-point Refresh recovery, and b) killing a victim while he's feeding for full recovery.

- In order to fully recover from Hunger Consequences, the vampire player should: a) Skip a scene (because he's feeding), and b) killing a victim while he's feeding.

Now, being a playable Red Court Infected pretty much wipes the last option off the table for every type of effect, which means the only way for recovering lost powers and treating Consequences is by skipping a scene! Don't get me wrong, I think skipping a scene is a fine secondary option for doing these, but I don't think it should be the only option.

Am I reading this wrong? Is there any other way for cleaning Hunger Consequences and recovering lost powers that we haven't seen yet?

Thanks in advance! Regards,

DFRPG / Re: Actual Play: Dark Nova Scenario, set in Washington DC

Great write-up! I love what you've done with occult DC; the Knight of the East sounds so... masonic XD... Thanks for sharing! :D

If you could show us your notes and city sheets for a more general con kit it'll be great. I still have problems to design scenarios for FATE games.

DFRPG / Re: Only 16 Dresden gamers worldwide?

I can assure there are at least a dozen, maybe two dozen, people interested in playing/running DFRPG in latinamerica and Spain, yet I'm the only one listed in Nearby Gamers. Maybe looking for FATE tags the search nets more results.
