Fate System

"Fate Core is a tabletop roleplaying game about proactive, capable people who lead dramatic lives. The type of drama they experience is up to you. But wherever they go, you can expect a fun storytelling experience full of twists…of fate." - from the Fate RPG website.

Fate's Philosophy
'''The Aspect driven nature of Fate is, perhaps, the single most important game mechanic to grasp because Aspects provide the elements which drive the story. '''This nature is a direct result of the underlying philosophy behind the Fate RPG.

Fate characters are designed to start out as competent and the central protagonists of a collaborative story. The Fate philosophy is not built on physics or a "rules first" approach, but on cinema and novel fiction "story first" approach. Heroes in movies or books rarely fail and when they do it's a fail forward  in a way that progresses the story even if, temporarily or permanently, it deviates from the original storyline. This is the Fate Way.

For a decidedly important view of game strategy differences, see a view on Narrative Dependent systems as opposed to a Rules Dependent systems.
