The story unfolds whether you choose left or right. The world spins regardless of the choice. However, this is a story told by the perspective of the player characters, and they are the main characters. Why them? Is it destiny? Is it fate? Or just random chance? What made them the main characters? Whatever it is, they are clearly on the spotlight and being on the spotlight comes with few perks!
Fate Tokens (FT) are tokens awarded to players as an attempt to implement their “destiny” or “favorable luck” in mechanical terms. Similar to DM’s inspiration, but triggered by different factors.
In addition to Fate Tokens, we also have Fate Dice (FD). Which are special D4s that a player can have.
Fate Token properties
- A player can have up to 10 Fate Tokens.
- Fate Tokens transfer from session to session.
- They can be given to others at a ratio of 2:1 (you have to give 2 for another player to receive 1).
Gaining FT
- The player who writes sessions notes in Kanka in the journals' section receives 6.
- The player, who does the previous-session recap, receives 4.
