My first leveled Tank was Gunbreaker, my first leveled DPS was Mechanist and I am myself now working on Sage to fill out my “shoot guns at it to solve your problem” Trifecta.
You’re thinking of the right game. You had a pet that was pretty much a massive bipedal animal monster that you could train. Depending on what you do with them, when you reward them with food and petting and when you punish them by slapping them, they’d change their behaviour. You could teach them to either farm food off of fields or eat villagers when they were hungry, whatever you wanted. It was a really fun feature, at least for six year old me.
Heya, I have been looking into Fate and have to say, I am somewhere between intense intrigue and confusion. I have already heard of Fate before since I saw people like adapting it to all kinds of general contexts to supply freestyle roleplay with some degree of structure.
Now, as someone who is a DnD Forever DM trying to explore these options, I am feeling a little unsure in regards to how this ends up feeling in actual play. Do you think you have examples of any actual play series where the setting is a High Fantasy one? I looked it up, but I mainly find things in more modern settings, which is fine, but I feel like I’d have an easier time if I saw someone tackle something closer to my goals.
