== Comments on Scene Aspects & Invokable Advantages ==<br />
<br />
(from Google+ community by Fred Hicks)<br />
<br />
So as I said before, the principle is specificity yields better traction. By getting more specific than the one-word or short-phrase aspect, you've got more pieces-parts for folks to grab onto, more of a "spin" provided to the scene. There's nothing particularly wrong with the one-words; they're flavorless, but they're fast, and sometimes you want speed. <br />
<br />
But some flavor can often be added simply by looking at the one-word and then asking "so... why?" -- and then incorporating the answer into the aspect name. This can take them beyond a single axis of application... which is good.<br />
<br />
Quickly-written suggestions follow.<br />
<br />
*Aspects on the scene:*<br />
<br />
Alert (as in guards): Sharp-Eyed Guards; So Quiet You Could Hear a Pin Drop; No Gaps In Guard Rotation; They've Doubled Their Personnel<br />
<br />
Poorly-Lit: Vague Shapes Hidden In Fog; Sparsely Placed Torches; Dark Deals, Dark Shadows; Murder in the Murk<br />
<br />
Slippery: Ground Moves Underfoot; Can't Find Your Feet; Covered In Slick Ice<br />
<br />
Noisy: Can't Hear Yourself Think; Constant Hum of Machinery; Loud Cheers and Angry Jeers; Jet Engines All Around<br />
<br />
Windy: Gale Force Winds; Gusts Howling Through Narrow Streets; Wind-Whipped and Bitter-Chilled<br />
<br />
*Aspects of advantage:*<br />
<br />
Covered: Hidden Behind Ragged Chunks of Wall; All Exits Watched; Claimed the High Vantage Point<br />
<br />
Blocked: Shield Wall Erected; A Punishing Gauntlet Awaits; None Shall Pass! <br />
<br />
Shaken: Lost His Nerve; Broken Morale; Undermined Confidence; Can't Tell Which Way Is Up<br />
<br />
Spotted: Caught Red Handed; Stuck Out In The Open; Painted by Laser Targeting; Center of the Bulls-Eye<br />
<br />
Astonished: Rendered Speechless; Everything You Knew Was A Lie; Blind-Sided and Wide Open</div>Nerdvanahttps://wiki.rpg.net/index.php?title=Aspects_List&diff=324493Aspects List2017-08-06T15:38:40Z<p>Nerdvana: </p>

<div>= Aspects List =<br />
<br />
Aspects are a phrase, a quote, or a sentence that defines a truth about a character or a game truth in a number of games systems ranging from Risus, Fate, Houses of the Blooded, PDQ, Universalis, etc. This is a list of useful aspects that can be of use to narrators and players using these game system. <br />
<br />
=== Advice for Good Aspects ===<br />
<br />
* a good aspect should have both positive and negative elements<br />
* a good aspect should be worded so that the player can invoke them for a bonus, and the narrator compel them for a fate point.<br />
* a good aspect can reveal something that the character may not even know.<br />

== Comments on Scene Aspects & Invokable Advantages ==<br />
<br />
(from Google+ community by Fred Hicks)<br />
<br />
So as I said before, the principle is specificity yields better traction. By getting more specific than the one-word or short-phrase aspect, you've got more pieces-parts for folks to grab onto, more of a "spin" provided to the scene. There's nothing particularly wrong with the one-words; they're flavorless, but they're fast, and sometimes you want speed. <br />
<br />
But some flavor can often be added simply by looking at the one-word and then asking "so... why?" -- and then incorporating the answer into the aspect name. This can take them beyond a single axis of application... which is good.<br />
<br />
Quickly-written suggestions follow.<br />
<br />
*Aspects on the scene:*<br />
<br />
Alert (as in guards): Sharp-Eyed Guards; So Quiet You Could Hear a Pin Drop; No Gaps In Guard Rotation; They've Doubled Their Personnel<br />
<br />
Poorly-Lit: Vague Shapes Hidden In Fog; Sparsely Placed Torches; Dark Deals, Dark Shadows; Murder in the Murk<br />
<br />
Slippery: Ground Moves Underfoot; Can't Find Your Feet; Covered In Slick Ice<br />
<br />
Noisy: Can't Hear Yourself Think; Constant Hum of Machinery; Loud Cheers and Angry Jeers; Jet Engines All Around<br />
<br />
Windy: Gale Force Winds; Gusts Howling Through Narrow Streets; Wind-Whipped and Bitter-Chilled<br />
<br />
*Aspects of advantage:*<br />
<br />
Covered: Hidden Behind Ragged Chunks of Wall; All Exits Watched; Claimed the High Vantage Point<br />
<br />
Blocked: Shield Wall Erected; A Punishing Gauntlet Awaits; None Shall Pass! <br />
<br />
Shaken: Lost His Nerve; Broken Morale; Undermined Confidence; Can't Tell Which Way Is Up<br />
<br />
Spotted: Caught Red Handed; Stuck Out In The Open; Painted by Laser Targeting; Center of the Bulls-Eye<br />
<br />
Astonished: Rendered Speechless; Everything You Knew Was A Lie; Blind-Sided and Wide Open</div>Nerdvana
