Playing Spirit of the Century - Your Experiences
Corbin DeBec:
well to those who want to compare notes or see how the game goes before buying here's some things we're doing. I won't take up much use of this forum going over everything at once so this time, I'll show my aspects and how they came into play, anyone want a explination of a aspect I don't go into please let me know but i'll try to briefly descirbe how i see them.
Prince of thieves: grew up running number for mob, earned rep as fair and honest among criminals
Tough as nails: street life is hard, let me reroll defense with fate point spent
Bringer of Vengance: patron was murdered anytime i feel someone needs vengance I use this
Tommy gun of Holy Justice: when ya kill a villian who killed a preist you may come away with a rightous attitude and blessed machine gun. works like weapons of destiny if it was a gun but did add it in the stunts.
Bring em back alive: will try to bring all allies back to safety alive
Satans bell hop: Will not accept a concession from some I know or think is evil, this also came into play i'll explain later
Closer you get the bigger the hole: us fate point here to reroll attack in same zone
Trust the man infront of you: anyone on the "team" I will trust to do their job
What this button do ray: spend fate point to ask ray gun if I'm gonna do something stupid with science involved.
Science blows up good: spend fate point to reroll atempt to destroy something "science/mechanical"
Well a good example of fate use and aspect is this, we're looking into the missing scientist, and who should stroll up but Dr Methuselah himself, well the GM pushed a poker chip to me aka fate point and says satans bell hop you know he's evil, which made me very hostile toward the doctor, after the verbal exchange I tossed a chip back and said, bring em back alive, so I didn't have to stray from character cause shooting the evil dr in the back would most likely not only get me but my comrades killed. And a cool scene was toward the end Doctor Methuselah made a comment about figuring my equation and waved his hands my machine gun of holy vengance fell apart. I tossed a fate point back calling the aspect of the machine gun of holy vengance and said, "i got friend in high places" and the gun reassembled and came back to my hands.
Ok how's them apples.

Received my copy of Spirit of the Century Thursday, and I've only had a chance to glance through it. It looks pretty good at first glance, and I find the size of the book interesting.
Once I've had a chance to read through it (probably in the next week or so) I'll have a better idea of it, in general.
I might be able to give it a play through in a month or so, so I'll have a bettr handle on it.

Interesting-good, actually. It's size makes it easier to hold and read, since it's comparable to the general size of hardback books.
One of the problems I've encountered, over the three-odd decades I've been involved with RPGs, is that the larger books are harder to hold and read while sitting in a chair or laying in bed. The size of SotC is much easier to handle, especially with having to use progressive lenses these days.

I agree and those nice glossy hard backs cause you to cringe when someone spills a drink on them or they scratch up the cover. Soft back just looks well used as it degrades lol
