A downloadable game

Fateful Quest is a game of high fantasy role-playing based primarily on Fate Accelerated Edition.

I like to tell memorable stories with my friends. I based this game on the Fate system because I think it is streamlined for collaborative, cinematic storytelling.

I like fantasy stories where the characters are motivated and proactive. I designed rules for quests so that every player’s character will always have a personal stake in the adventure.

I like fantasy stories where characters have interesting and impactful items. However, I don’t like a lot of bookkeeping and frivolous details. I designed rules for acquisitions and supplies to help items matter without being tedious.

I like games with character options that inspire me and give me something to look forward to. I included options for character creation and advancement based on some of my favorite fantasy stories and games.

I like games where players can pursue their characters’ personal agendas and influence the world between adventures, so I designed downtime stunts.

I like games where the game master doesn’t have to do a lot more work than the players. I included advice to enable GMs to confidently run the game with minimal prep (something the Fate system already does well.)

If you like the same things I like, you might like Fateful Quest

This is a beta version with some un-tested ideas. It is released for free for playtesting and feedback.  In the future I hope to publish a final release of the game with all the bugs worked out, nice graphic design and artwork.
