I'm sensing a lot of negative emotions in the world right now. Time to do something positive.
For each like that this or one of the subsequent posts on this thread I will tell you about something I like. Only restriction is it has to be something you can enjoy as well so stuff like my family or friends are not something I'll post ( sorry, but you'll have to take my word that they're awesome )
Fate Roleplaying Game.
Fate is really cool because it is a specific take on the Fudge RPG engine but moves beyond it to make something unique. It blends storytelling with a flexible engine that scales up and down with little fuss. Plus the support for it is great with new supplements coming it regularly.
And it's CC-BY which means you can use it for your own projects.

This post got me to look into Fate.
Now I want to play it, make a tool for creating/tracking stories with it, or both.
Played D&D on and off for a bit but my group restarts the game regularly with a new DM/story/characters. When playing we lose focus way too much. I think mechanics are part of that, and Fate's approach might work better for this group - if we ever convene again.
@greshjs Awesome! Hope you enjoy your journey!
