Session 0 consisted of creatings a new setting using A Spark in Fate Core. Note that the rules as written were not strictly adhered to, as noted below
Due to the interplay between media and the inspirations pulled therefrom, this is listed as a single step
| Media | Inspiration | Contributor |
|---|---|---|
| Diablo, Monster Hunter World | Monster Hunting | Scott |
| Borderlands | Vault hunting | Jason |
| Evangelion | AT Fields | David |
| Halo | Spartan Suits | Hailey |
| Octonauts | Underwater | Hilary |
The game will focus more on action and less on the actual science of things, especially since psuedomagical effects are going to be big. Given the horrors of mutations, people eating monsters with impenetrable shielding, and the constant threat of drowning in the icy deeps, the game will be action-horror, like the Aliens movie; lots of bad things will happen, but most of it will culminate in something big and bad getting punched in the face.
Note that this deviated off the beaten track of Spark, as the players had inertia for their setting at this point. The Factions were also established here
This also deviated pretty far, since the Issues were pretty well known by now, and writing them into Sparks was more of a formality
These were largely self-writing after the facts step, and are again included primarily as a formality
Note that some of these faces include entire Factions
Rather than making places, an enitre map was created, with some locations put together as made sense for the setting rather than related to Sparks
And then there were 4. Not wanting anyone stuck with the ship, the players agreed to an NPC to guide and pilot the Silence, Kelvin. See Player Characters for the list of who created whom.
