| 0:49.0 | Welcome to Critical Hit of Major Spoiler's podcast. Thank you for downloading, thank you for listening, and thank you for sharing this show with a friend. |
| 0:55.0 | Over the years, a lot of people have been asking us to try out different systems. |
| 1:00.0 | We've done Rath of a Shardillon, we've done the Legend of Drift as the board playing games, we just wrapped up 5E, and now I believe that 20% of the emails that we get asking us to play other systems have asked us to play Fate. |
| 1:16.0 | Those 20% are brilliant people. I guess. So for me, this is brand new, for Matthew, this is brand new, right? You've not played Fate before? |

| 2:15.0 | But it seems like Fate is like playing a skills challenge with Rodrigo. |
| 2:21.0 | I would say that's a pretty accurate description there. It's a very narrative and light system. |
| 2:28.0 | So, with Rodrigo, the way that we handled a skills challenge and the way that's developed it, we put a lot of narrative twist on that. |
| 2:39.0 | And so that's like Rodrigo's skills challenge expanded into a full system. |
| 2:44.0 | Yeah. |
| 2:45.0 | Okay. Well, I say just jump into it. I know that there may be many of you who are out there who have not ever played Fate before. |
