  Game blurb from the Evil Hat publishing website: Grab your plasma rifles, spell components, and jetpacks! Name your game; Fate Core is the foundation that can make it happen. Fate Core is a flexible system that can support whatever worlds you dream up. Have you always wanted to play a post-apocalyptic spaghetti western with tentacle monsters? Swords and sorcery in space? Wish there was a game based on your favorite series of books, film, or television, but it never happened? Fate Core is your answer.

Get Craft!

Make it Sew

The girls talk about sewing dresses for the Goblin King ballgown and Convolution in general. Suggestions were made, such as modifying used wedding dresses for a "fairy ball gown effect. Sandy isn't quite sure what to make yet, but she definitely wants to make something! Jade is currently french draping her outfit for ConVolution, which is more Elven in nature -- a mix of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones look.
