This is the version of Fate 3.0 that made me really understand the #faterpg. Understand it enough to run a couple of sessions and get a grip.

My favorite RPG at the moment... although I haven't actually played it yet.
It's a hard science fiction RPG based on the Fate system used in Spirit of the Century, but with a lot of tweaks that look really interesting.

I'm really itching to play this.
