That’s definitely the kind of thing that might tempt him to give it a try, but his one experience with the system has left him distinctly underwhelmed. Which could be due to any number of causes, of course.

I don’t see why you would think so, Crabby. It’s an article about combat systems and the illustration depicts two warriors with different weapons in a very dynamic way.

Fate is one of those game systems that I’ve always wanted to try, but one of my core players has very strong dislike for it for some reason. Thanks for reminding me of it, Loz!

For those who like narrative combat, Fate Core (and the crunch-lighter Fate Accelerated) is my gold standard (A phrase I lifted from Wil Wheaton’s TableTop review/session). Also, it is genre-agnostic.
