RWBY FATE Core game interest

Hey there! -GREAT FOR NEW PLAYERS! So I've been wanting to try a game in this universe almost since this show first came out. The setting is in the RWBYverse which is, if you don't know, a magitech type world in which there are various combat schools dedicated to training huntsmen and huntresses to defend the general public from the creatures of grimm (dark shadowy monsters of an unknown origin). These warrior wield extremely powerful weapons that usually have a melee and ranged component (ie a giant mecha sythe the can transform into a high powered sniper rifle) These weapons can be further augmented with the use of dust, the source of the magic in the world, that can be activated by ones aura (or ones life energy "soul") for devastating attacks. (Check the show out if you want to see visually how all of that works) or here is a wiki link with general info <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RWBY" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RWBY</a> I will be using the FATE core system since thats what im more familiar with and feel that's what ill be most successful at. FATE is also super easy to learn if you are new to table top games I talked with the GM of my first game about the rules for maybe 10mins and by the end of that had a character made and was able to hit the ground running because most everything is pretty easy to pick up on the fly in game :) its not very mechanic heavy and there isn't a whole lot of number crunching and I've been able to transition to other systems fairly easily after getting the hang of this one. heres a good link that has all the basics <a href="http://fate-srd.com/" rel="nofollow">http://fate-srd.com/</a> Players in this world would be part of a team in their last year at Beacon Academy (top combat school in Remnant) located in the Kingdom of Vale. Timeline wise it will correspond to the uprising of the militant version of the White Fang Terrorist group who have been stealing hordes of dust for unknown purposes. Session will be mostly mission style as the story of the world unfolds and you learn more about the White Fangs intentions. If anyone has interest in this please let me know it would be awesome to have some new players that I can learn the ropes with and maybe a more experienced player that can give me some feedback after the sessions for improvement. So if you have interest or questions/comments please post below. I have some premade characters if you can't think of ones yourself or want some examples for making your own. Oh and gametime wise I'm am available Tues-Thursday starting around 7PM so im flexible in that time range to find something that works for everyone and hope to make this a weekly or every other week game :)

Or if someone else is interested in running this in FATE or whatever their preffered system is then I'm cool with that too I've done all the backstory research that I could fill you in with and then we can just go from there. I just really like the idea of playing in this universe
text only is also an option if players interested want that :) im open to just about anything
I've been semi-interested in a RWBY campaign for a while, this looks like it might be fun. I have some character ideas, and though I have no experience with FATE I've looked the rules over in the past and have at least a vague idea of what it's about. I'd prefer text only, as I find voice chat distracts from the immersion (plus, it makes it easier for the DM to play sick Jeff Williams music during fights) I've watched both seasons, so no worries regarding lore. Speaking of which, here's some Word of God passed down from He of the Endless Resolve about some rules regarding OCs. I figure it might help. I'm free on most days and times except for monday and friday evenings.

Awesome! Ya I rlly love fate for being able to take worlds that exist and just be able to easily put them in a gaming system that works :) and good thinking posting that link. I think we will be good to go once we have a team of 4. So 3 more spots now! I'll send an invite to the actual campaign too and you can post ur OC character there :) and we will go ahead and make this a text only game then
2 spots left to fill and then we can get started :)
im down.......real down
Stunts are very open to however you want them to be. Have the GM guide you if you need more help. Like let's say your character is a player, use that. You're looking good, girl. +1 to (Rapport or whatever you call your communication skill) when dealing with the opposite sex. Maybe your character is/was a deep diver. Hold breath Years of training allows you to hold your breath longer than most. It's a way of expanding your character or using the current skill list to make your character even more interesting.
This is a nifty idea. Haven't played FATE in ages, but think the system is great for what you're trying to pull off.
It seems like the group is filling up fast, but I'd be interested if something is still open
I literally just got into the show today too, so a game of it would be pretty neat.
