Evil Sagan posted:What happens in FATE when something catches on fire? It gains the "On Fire" aspect which can be tagged for bonuses when fictionally appropriate, and it can also deal Stress to characters when fictionally appropriate. But there's always a big ol' fuss about whether or not both of these things are true, and whether or not one is dependent on the other.

To be fair while I take your point these two occurrences aren't mutually inclusive. I wouldn't classify WFRP as an "RPGnet darling," for instance, so much as one where the only active fanbase present on the forums is completely terrible at selling people on it.

To me, the weirdest thing about the whole setting-people-on-fire-in-Fate thing is that I don't think I've ever seen fire (or ongoing damage in general) come into play in a game that isn't D&D or related fantasy. Maybe I'm just not setting enough characters on fire.

Nobody in your games reaches for napalm or mustard gas? I can think of a few FATE games (hello Transeldritch! Hello Storms!) where that might be par for the course.

I guarantee this happens in at least 50% of all Shadowrun games ever, though I suppose that might qualify as "D&D related fantasy" of a sort. edit; also World of Darkness like a lot depending on which game you're playing. I know that my old Hunter: the Vigil group set a whole lot of poo poo on fire. Kai Tave fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Jun 9, 2014 |

I was even thinking of Static Shock as being a style reference for the game, though I didn't know about Hoop Squad in particular. This feels right. It feels like... I want to say destiny, but that's not quite the word....

That seems kind of harsh considering the alternative at the time was "being on fire, also vampires."

fatherdog posted:That kinda seems like problems that solve each other The fire was kind of our fault, too. It was our first plan to deal with the vampires and rally the local gnome community, but it turns out superhumanly fast undead can dodge Molotov cocktails pretty well and have the sense to leave the part of town where everyone and their dog has alchemist's fire and watch it burn.

Once our group was playing a zombie apocalypse game. Some dictator was gobbling up territory and generally being an evil dictator. We found out he was getting shipments of brand new modern weapons smuggled in from somewhere else in the world. Our group, when we learned of this, figured anywhere that has manufacturing and shipments and the wealth to be trading with the dictator was going to be a better place to live than the wastes. So rather than do the good thing and stop the dictator and deal with all the plots we were involved in, we liquidated our assets and bribed our way onto the weapons ship and rode it back to the nicer civilization, living out comfortable and uneventful lives.

Well it's marginally better than flooding a city and the plains around it and then using an alchemical formula to turn the water chemically flammable and then setting it on fire.

Talkc posted:What are the Dumbest/Greatest solutions to problems you've had characters come up with? Ah, Shadowrun... Once our group of runners ended up taking a job to retrieve a bunch of artists' recordings being held in a physical medium in a recording studio. We booked the studio fronting as a band in order to get in quietly, and in order to alleviate the suspicions of the incredibly manic AI that ran the place and get access to the place where the recordings were being held, we ended up deciding to actually play and record a punk rock song, during which our "drummer" (a mage) rolled a critical glitch that resulted in him accidentally stabbing himself with a broken drumstick. This was the same campaign in which we actually nuked part of the Amazon rainforest in order to get rid of an incredibly powerful rogue blood spirit. This was arguably justified, but our characters were dead men walking after that. Mine very nearly died of radiation poisoning during the botched escape and a massive multi-million-nuyen bounty was put out on our group for, you know, nuking a rainforest. In my current D&D game I play a Paladin and I really really wanted to ride a dragon for Reasons. I expressed this desire to my GM, so he saddled me with a half horse, half red (yes, red) dragon abomination courtesy of the rich Evil family in her backstory. He likes to steal and hoard treasure but he has 3 intelligence so it's like having an extremely grabby toddler that also breathes fire.
