Evil Hat Productions is making the Fate Core Rule Set and Fate Accelerated PDFs available in a “pay what you’d like” system with a minimum price point of $5 and $2.50 respectively. From my understanding the Fate rules are based in part on the old FUDGE system and I’m interested in delving a bit deeper into these two new releases so you can look forward to reviews on both books in the very near future.
From Evil Hat:
Grab your plasma rifles, spell components, and jetpacks! Name your game; Fate Core is the foundation that can make it happen. Fate Core is a flexible system that can support whatever worlds you dream up. Have you always wanted to play a post-apocalyptic spaghetti western with tentacle monsters? Swords and sorcery in space? Wish there was a game based on your favorite series of books, film, or television, but it never happened? Fate Core is your answer.
Fate Core is a tabletop roleplaying game about proactive, capable people who lead dramatic lives. The type of drama they experience is up to you. But wherever they go, you can expect a fun storytelling experience full of twists…of fate.

Minimum price point is free, actually, but the $5/$2.50 minimums are what we’re trying out for our webstore. Folks can donate whatever they want via the button on http://www.faterpg.com as well.
Thanks for clearing that up Fred. I thought maybe the free download was a limited time thing since I saw the pricing of $2.50/$5 on both DriveThruRPG and the Evil Hat site. Let’s hope people don’t just go for free though! 🙂
