It might cost more now because the postal rates increased at the end of July.<br />Will Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379173017869751088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-85989749854896843682013-08-16T07:49:14.011-07:002013-08-16T07:49:14.011-07:00@ Degenerate:

There's a balancing mechanic wherein you can start off as more powerful, but your refresh (the number of chips you get) is lower.<br /><br />"the GM’s game is very much dependent on what your players are bringing to it"<br /><br />I'd say this is pretty accurate. The GMs job is to read everyone's aspects, then come up with something to engage them (either by putting the players in situations where they are useful, or putting them in situations where they are a liability). If your players aren't engaging their aspects, or have written bad ones, or just aren't into aspects at all (they're not for everyone) then it can be a pain in the ass.<br /><br />"“character development” works in FATE"<br /><br />There is "growth" where you get to add new skills and stuff, but for the most part character "advancement" in FATE is actually "character change". So, you can trade in an aspect you don't see yourself using (the Admiral Akbar one, for example) for something derived from play ("Magical Mystical Bloodhound", for example, if you really liked your tracking ritual and wanted to focus on that sort of thing some more).<br /><br />"Houses of the Blooded"<br /><br />It uses Aspects, but it isn't FATE. Very different, and even more dependent on having good players than FATE.<br /><br /><br />Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229931892073781338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-78373716781036749492013-08-15T17:13:28.114-07:002013-08-15T17:13:28.114-07:00Heh.

But if you purchase all you postage online from the USPS you get a slight discount, free tracking with Priotity, and you can file out and print your customs forms.<br /><br />Print out all the labels and boom, all you have to do is drop the stuff off at the post, no line at all.<br /><br />This requires a postage scale but it saves loads of time.<br /><br />Probably a bit late witht he advice though.
