Viewer Request: Compelling 101

As requested by Fantastic Dimensions this video discusses Compels in more detail:

Very nice explanation of Compels and when to use them. Compels are perhaps the most difficult and under-used feature of Fate. One thing to note is that, if a player refuses a compel (paying a Fate point), that doesn't necessarily mean the event doesn't happen, just that the event doesn't complicate things. A player can pay a Fate point, and use the refusal to narrate some awesome way in which she avoids that complication. Sometimes its worth paying a Fate point just to be awesome.

Super mega ace. Really clear, concise explanation - bringing what's in FATE Core out and making it accessible to those of us embarking on FATE for the first time (and I'm an experienced GM and find these videos totally brilliant). I hope you realise how valuable these videos are and how much they are appreciated! Cheers Red Dice.

Joseph Collins : Many thanks Joseph, I'm glad that you and others are finding the videos useful :)

More videos on compelling!!! Examples, more depth; even suggestions on how compels might be in other games even ones that don't use points but still have players getting in complicated situations because of who they are or where their at

Just wanted to say that your videos have been invaluable to me. I've watched all of your Fate how-to videos and they've been an immense help. So thank you. I'm wanting to GM a Fate game but I wasn't sure where to start and I'm still very nervous about doing so. I was thinking of running a game on Roll20 but I don't feel I know enough about the system yet. I've run a Pathfinder game there and it turned out well. I'd love to see some videos about how to run a Fate game using an online tabletop, especially Roll20. Should you use maps like you do for games like Pathfinder? Should dynamic lighting be used or should Fate be played as an imagination/description game only? Questions like that. I recently bought the Fate Freeport Companion and I'm diving into it. Great book and your review there was very helpful as well. So thanks for all the great videos and congratulations on the 1000+ subscribers. You deserve them.

Clash of Clans - Ghost : I'm glad that you've found the Fate videos I've done useful; I'll add "Running Fate Online" to my list of future videos to do :)

[@GhostClashGaming]

Great! I can't wait to see it.

[@RedDiceDiaries]

Clash of Clans - Ghost : Cool - I can't guarantee how long it'll be before I get chance to film it, since there are a lot of other video ideas on my list as well :)

[@FantasticDimensions]

Cheers! And thanks for taking my request!

[@RedDiceDiaries]
