I have read that this is very Fate like.  From what you have said and from liking Fate; I think I will try to purchase this and try it out.

With the combo of Diablo and Fate devs working on this; it should be interesting.

I've played this and it's sequel on Kongregate.  I really couldn't get into it though.

I think that is one bug that should stay in there.  
Let's get the devs to add a scroll of rudeness.

Edit:  Bah, killed me too fast to react.  I got caught at the end of a berserk (slow).  I could have blinked though...

(don't tell these guys about Wesband just yet...I want to refine it a little further).

I've played that; Wesband is awesome!

This looks pretty good.  Sorry, I'm not trying to derail the topic.  I just had to make a quick comment on Westband.

What's the character building like.  I could care less about the story, but I like a good character builder.

Oh yes, HeroQuest.  I actually still have a couple sets of this game.  My son and I played it a few years ago.

If I ever get any characters worth posting, I will post them.  I've had a couple, but...I really suck at this game.    I get too impatient or gung ho.  I need to learn to slow down and take a little more time playing. 

My best was the one I posted earlier in the thread.

Isn't the game only supposed to be $20?  I thought I read that they were charging this amount to try to get some money to get an MMO out of it.

I'm not quite sure if this fit's what you're looking for, but I thought I would mention it anyway.  This one is a party based game.

I'm inclined to go on autopilot, and make stupid mistakes, which is as dangerous as forgetfulness.

I've been doing this a lot lately.  I can't seem to get the ball rolling.  When it actually starts, this happens.  The last time I had a nice run going, I reloaded and I think I died in under 50 turns.

That always used to be the death of me (starvation).  I don't seem to have to much trouble with it anymore.  And after Numeron's tale, I think I will make sure to double check when I drop a bunch of items from now on.   

My condolences Numeron

I haven't really looked into this game.  I seen that it was coming out and I figured that I would wait until some reviews start coming in for it.  If I think of it later I will do some research on it.
