Fate and Fortune

Fate & Fortune is a rules-light system with a heavy emphasis on story-telling. It is a game system that works best in genres that have frequent risks or challenges to overcome, such as Horror, Action-Adventure, Mystery, and the Wildly Supernatural. Players take on the roles of accidental or intentional adventurers who are frequently poorly equipped to deal with their circumstances and must manage to survive with what they’ve got.

Fate & Fortune is a card based roleplaying system using two decks of standard playing cards, one representing Fate, and the other representing Fortune. These cards are drawn whenever the characters are literally making a gamble on their success, or a gamble with their lives…
