![]() ![]() Whilst Spirit was set in the pulp era of the 1920s, Shadow is set in the halcyon years of the 1980s. Shadow of the Century is a successor to the classic Spirit of the Century. FATE of Cthulhu is a full, FATE-based game set in the mythos of H. Of the remaining books, there are a few real highlights. ![]() That said, the FATE Worlds book are really cool, each containing a self-contained mini-setting to use with the game. I’m definitely not saying you should, but it makes the listed price of $188 a bit tenuous. This means that you can take them for free, if you wish. If you head on over to DriveThruRPG, the FATE Worlds titles are all actually listed as Pay What You Want. That sounds great, but it’s not quite true. The bundle of 45 FATE Worlds of Adventure books is listed as being worth $188. There is one thing that sticks out as a bit disingenuous, though. I actually have most of these books in physical form and I really rate them. At the time of writing, that price is $35.30, which will get you the following items in addition to everything from the first tier: The second tier is priced at a threshold. The value of this first tier is pretty fantastic. The ability to do this is a big part of the appeal of tabletop RPGs, and it’s cool to see a company embracing this. I like that Evil Hat encourages you to make the system your own and tweak it as necessary. There’s a ton of content here to help you hack the system to really suit the sort of game you intend to run. ![]() These are guidebooks for creating your own settings for FATE. This means that these otherwise solid books are, thematically, very dry. The core rules are very flexible, but there’s no pre-set setting information included in the books. I’ve not tried the condensed version yet, but I’ve played the Core and Accelerated versions, and have loved both. It comes in the standard core edition, as well as an accelerated and condensed edition. There are three versions of the FATE rules. The first tier of the bundle will set you back $9.95 and will get you everything you need to play FATE. This bundle will get you most of the items from the range. I’m stoked about this bundle! FATE is a really good system and Evil Hat has done a fantastic job at building out a fantastic range around it. Let’s just dispense right away with any pretense of being neutral or unfazed by this bundle. ![]()
