Robert Hanz is a fan of Fate and very active on Google Plus. Before it was shut down¸ Google Plus was host to a wealth of RPG communities and people. Robert wrote a huge number of what he calls posts-and I call essays-on how to run and play Fate. The essays cover topics such as putting fiction first¸ pacing mechanisms¸ conflicts¸ and aspects.
These essays were shared among the Fate community to help bring new people into Fate. Then Google decided to turn off Google Plus. Fortunately¸ these essays were exported and saved before the servers turned dark.
