Always playtesting

It never ends, does it?

I recently re-ran The Fallen, a short Fate Accelerated Edition investigation for a couple of friends. It’s set in modern-day London, with the characters working for Desk 17, the weird department of the Metropolitan police.

As was inevitable, the PCs did something slightly different to previous runs. Something I hadn’t thought of.

As this is a scenario on my website for publication, I felt I needed to update it. 

And so, I have. (You can download it here.)

Similarly, I am preparing Perfect Organism, my ALIEN scenario, for Furnace. And I’ve already spotted a few changes I need to make—and that’s before it hits the table. Once I’ve run it, I have no doubt there will be more changes.

The same goes every time I run a freeform.

Always improving

In a sentiment credited to numerous people, scenarios are never finished—they are abandoned. And each time I pick them up to rerun them, I find something to improve.

It never ends.
