What one game tester had
to say:

"A Mind-Fucking Odyssey! I always thought that this sort of depth and richness was something you could only get from the setting; you've turned that idea on it's head. You could go crazy trying to explore the depths of the system, and not even begin adventuring
in the setting.
There should be a kind of warning; ('Abandon all hope, all ye who enter' ?) about the depth and addictiveness of FS VRS.

D20-ers should beware, at least, and so may
the free-form afficionado!"

Emergence RPG

FateStorm is roleplaying evolved. Where the setting and the mechanics are interwoven, removing the need for random determination, relying upon the player's Avatars to determine success or failure.

Where the player's Avatars, possessed of a spiritual connection to the multiverse known as an Archetype, fulfill roles, legends and tragedies that form the rich tapestry of the Soluüs.

While many 'diceless' roleplaying games of the past have placed a heavy burden of responsibility upon the arbitrator of the rules, FateStorm places the responsibility for success upon the player and their Avatar, leaving the Fate free to concentrate upon the story and drama.

When FateStorm was first being developed it was built on the understanding that traditional dice based roleplaying games limited the players and thier characters in ways that not only hampered roleplay but disrupted the suspension of disbelief.Yet as FateStorm developed it became not only an alternative system but also an integrated multiverse. The VRS and the settings of FateStorm are built upon common themes in myth, symbolism, legend, parapsychology, and the collective unconsciousness.
