CLOSED: LFP One-Shot: Do you want to be an elite roman task force member?

GM: volunteers welcome, I will do it if need be. Fate Core Condensed   Module:  Eagle Eyes  (I will supply a copy) The Module setting: Eagle Eyes takes the themes and tropes of classic noir detective stories and transplants them to the dusty streets of ancient Rome. As members of the Eagles, the secret investigative arm of the Senate, you’ll delve into the seedy underbelly of the Eternal City, where lies and intrigue keep company with murder and betrayal. The rewards for service are impressive, but the risks run deep, and only those with sharp eyes, steady hands, and steely hearts will survive. Game will be run using the  tools described by Randy Oest  Google Hangouts, Trello & Roll20  Since we are all shut in due to Covid, times are flexible on weekends. I still work online, so no 9-5 during the week. Eastern Standard Times.

Have 1 player expressing interest. would like 3-4 players and 1 GM

I also wish to express interest, which I have. When can you play.

@marmalade Once we have three - four players expressing interest, we can huddle and and pick a time that works for all. I would like to do it this week. Q: How much experience do you have a fate core player and GM? Q: What time zone are you in? I am EDT. Look forward to playing with you

looking foreword to play as well

Tim, to be frank, I learnt about the game a fortnight ago, but I have as of now parosed through the accelerated and core versions, so I am really searching for an opportunity to try out this game for the first time. So no, I have no experience being a player, let alone GMing fate. P.S Just to be clear; Is it core or condensed as there are subtle differences between the two?

I read a recent RPG release called Maelstrom Rome, which was full of information on Roman social classes, character types, gear and living, and history of the Empire to 50 A.D. (no Coliseum yet!)  But the rules system was skills with percentile rolls. I have played Fate Core/Accelerated weekly for years, and GMed a game once.  I also work, fortunately, and am in the Eastern time zone (EDT, currently GMT-4).

I am in UTC - 2:30 (NDT).

@marmalade it is core with just a slight difference. It uses popcorn initiative. And the stress boxes are handled differently. See the link in my original post.  I am concerned that your time zone could be an issue if we choose an evening. For example right now as I type this it is 8:35 PM here for me and 10:05 PM for you.

As long as the quarantine is not lifted, I have no preferences as to time and day, so you needn't be concerned. Yet there is a big chance that we will delve into the post-quarantine, and therein lies the problem,albeit trivial, as then I can only play either on Friday or Saturday evenings.
