Is anyone still interested in playing FATE?
I created my own FATE system more than 15 years ago based loosely on Spirit of the Century, but set in a dystopian future. I've never done anything with it, I mostly enjoyed the act of creation, though I had hoped to run a game with it one day. However, the few FATE games I've been in have died abornin', and I became discouraged with playing such a game online.
Anyway, I'm down to only a single game that I'm playing (PathFinder 2) and I haven't found anything else that stirs my interest. So I started looking at this game that I set up a few years ago (based on my decade-old, at the time) rule system and thinking how much fun it would be if I could find some real FATE players.

The game is strictly human, no zombies or magic or anything else. However, the player characters and named characters will be heroic, dwarfing the minions significantly, to the level of James Bond or a Bruce Lee movie. I don't like all the magical stuff because people depend on that to make their characters interesting instead of personality and role playing.
I only want to do this if there are at least three other people who are on RPoL nearly every day, who can write, and who love to push the story along. I do want you to create background and scenery that can be used in fun and interesting ways, and even to take charge of the NPC's now and then. People who only react, just so they can roll their dice at the right times are not really what I'm looking for.
I've resisted pulling the trigger on this game because I'm too frustrated with games that only last a month or two, then get ghosted. So, if you have ever ghosted a game (without a good reason, such as an abusive GM), please don't bother. I would expect the courtesy of a note, at the very least. If you frequently get bored with games after a couple of months and then drop out, please don't bother. If reading this much text is too much for you, please don't bother.
As with any writing endeavor (and I do consider this a joint writing endeavor more than anything else), there will be times of great fun and excitement and times when it seems a little like a chore. Please be someone prepared to work though that part. Otherwise, ... well, you guessed it.
Is anyone interested?
