Deck of Fate User Reviews

Top reviews

Lots of logos, some bugs

Logos take a while to sit through, die rollers don't have this. Also if you tap the deck too fast, cards get stuck and you have to quit and sit through logos again to fix it.

Excellent app for FATE

An excellent tool for your fate game. A lot of customizable options for your game and is a must for the GM on the go. Would love to see more world settings added like Andromida Space Opera or any the story's coming out of Evil Hats patreon.

Just wish the decks stayed upright.

Very annoying how the accelerated and core aspect decks don't stay upright. I often have to turn my phone or head every time I draw in order to read or look at the pictures...

Off to a great start

So this app basically has me leaving my physical deck at home, it’s that good.

One thing: under Paint Scorton Guide, there’s no card(s) for the Ladder, Outcomes, Actions and Incoming and Compelling rules. These sure be handy! Any way to add them in a future release!?

Outstanding aid for Fate RPG

The Deck of Fate is an app adaptation of the physical Deck of Fate, designed for use with the Fate tabletop roleplaying game. The deck can be used as an alternative to rolling Fate/Fudge dice, or (my personal favourite) providing inspiration for improvising twists and developments during a game.

As a regular player and GM I find this app is a brilliant way to make the deck easily available without requiring an actual deck.

If you don't play Fate-based games you might not have much use for this. If you do play them this app is gold. For me it's worth every penny.

Are you pleased to see me or is that a deck of fate cards in your pocket?

As a replacement for both the fate dice or fare deck (both of which I own) this stellar. Combined with PDFs of the game rules entire universes of gaming possibilities fit in my pocket.
Very nice app.

Good app, though not earth-shattering

Some good range of options for an app that essentially represents a custom deck of cards/die roller. Definitely worth while purchase if you ever considered the physical Deck of Fate, and potentially cheaper, easier to obtain, and on a phone, maybe even more "portable".

Features that might get it a fifth star from me: allowing multiple characters for a deck, particular as a "scene handler" and initiative tracker style; or online connection to others with the app.

Great Digital Deck

The Deck of Fate is a wonderful little product that can enhance your Fate games. Aside from having the 81 possible dice results, there is a bounty of other information with symbols, suggested descriptors, and the Arcana.

Still, the analog form had a few limitations. If you wanted to use it as a true randomizer, there was a lot of handling time shuffling the cards. This digital version fixes that, allowing for an instant reshuffling of the deck after every draw. You can also set up your own decks with a mix of Core Arcana, Accelerated Arcana, and the dice results, as well as set skills profiles for your hero. It's a full-fledged and slick 'dice roller' for Fate games.

Excellent!

One of those apps that does just what I never knew I wanted it to do.

Logos display just fine on my iPad 4, no faster or slower than other apps that use logos.

Excellent deck manager for customized deck usage, clever use of hands of cards and stored lists of approaches/skills for easy skill/approach success resolution.

All in all, a fine purchase as an addition to my toolset as a Fate player/GM.

A great little app

This is a great little app especially when you forget your Fate dice for a game. I also like the addition of the arcana for both Fate Core and Fate Accelerated. They are both great ways of creating inspiration during a game.
