The Essential Four-Color FAE

I've seen several posts on the Fate Core and FAE communities asking for a guide to running supers. +Mike Lindsey, +Reagan Taplin, +Gary Anastasio, and others have worked on writing, refining, and playtesting these rules. For my part, I want to collect those posts into a single list.

The Four-Color FAE series:

• Part 1 - Power facts, the basic idea behind supers in FAE. Includes a character sheet for Miss Martian as an FAE super.
• Part 2 - Character roles in the supers genre, or "who is playing the fighter?"
• Part 3 - Approaches vs. Skills in Fate. Why FAE does a better job at supers.
• Part 4 - Extras in FAE. "Where does he get those wonderful toys?"
• Part 5 - Aspects and immunities in Fate. A suggested house rule for how to handle characters who are simply immune to something.
• Part 6 - A list of inspirations for the New Troy supers game.
• Part 7 - Mercury Man, a PC created in FAE and based on the Flash.
• Part 8 - Concessions Before Consequences, or how to model the ebb and flow of comic-book conflict.
• Part 9 - Starseed, a PC created in FAE and based on the Green Lantern.
• Part 10 - Character creation for the New Troy game, including PC concepts. Uses A Spark in Fate Core, a tool for creating a campaign world.
• Part 11 - Issue 1 of the New Troy game, introducing the PCs.
• Part 12 - Muramasa, a sample villain created in FAE.
• Part 13 - Character sheets for Golden Age PCs in FAE.

Bonus characters:

• Dr. Pisces - a sample villain in FAE.
• Magik - the New Mutants character.
