Fate Adversary Toolkit
Fate Adversary Toolkit is an expansion for the Fate Core System.
Calling all adversaries!
Antagonists. Obstacles. Villains. Impediments. Call them what you will, but a great campaign needs opposition to create stirring conflict. The Fate Adversary Toolkit offers a variety of ideas, mechanics, and hacks to help you make the most out of every obstacle in your game. Explore what an adversary is in Fate terms, and always remember that everything is a character. Inhabit hostile worlds and situations that work against the players. Face down mooks and big bads built to provide high stakes drama and engage everyone at the table. Learn how to use high quality adversaries to drive your stories to completion.
The Fate Adversary Toolkit is a Fate Core supplement. This Toolkit includes:
- A general approach that gives you the tools to create quality adversaries regardless of setting or genre.
- New categories of adversaries (enemies, obstacles, and constraints), each with their own rules, functions, and samples.
- Ideas on how to use environments to create conflict and make the most of battlefield zones.
- A Rogue’s Gallery, full of sample adversaries separated by genre, with ideas on how to use the characters and settings provided to create plot.
Fate Toolkits. All the tools to build your stage.

Sounds fantastic. I have a lot of trouble right-sizing opponents, so this’ll be great.
Looking forward to this, m’self.
I look forward to reading it 🙂
Another must have for a great system. Fate rules.
Will you be requiring any playtesters? I’m stating an interest!
It’s appreciated! But we’re already past playtesting on this one. 🙂
Another book to add to the growing stack. At least FATE books are usually on the cheap end of the PnP TBRPG spectrum. (Especially if you don’t mind the PDF format.)
I may have missed something but I can’t see a page count? You couldn’t throw up a TOC could you?
Hi Andrew, page count is 112 pages. And since you asked so nicely, here’s the Release Candidate ToC
Wow! And thanks a lot. I’m now looking forward to this even more (if that’s possible).
Thanks Sean, Now they have updated the page my comment makes me look like an idiot, as if I needed any help 🙂
thanks for the TOC, have asked FLGS to pre-order for me. Looking forward to it.
Will this book’s rules be Creative Commons licensed? I love my Fate hardbacks, but having the online SRD to refer to or link people to is essential for online RPing.
Wow, I have just started running Fate campaigns with my little group of murderhobos. Picked up Core book and FAE just last week and I’m stunned. For me it’s the greatest discovery since sliced bread 😀 transition from crunch heavy systems was the best choice I made recently and I’m sure that I’ll buy Adversary Toolkit along with System Toolkit as soon as possible.
A great game gets even better!
Just one question, is the pre-order live in August or is that the expected actual release for the toolkit? This is one of those must have books for me with a group new to Fate just itching to dive in and play 🙂
Hi Chris, that is our estimated delivery date. Huzzah!
Awesome! Thanks!
Is this actually going to be hardback, and $15? Seems a bit off in pricerange…
Nope, that’s an accurate price for this, a 112-page black and white interior hardcover in the Fate Toolkit sub-line.
What about the PDF price, how much it’s gonna be?
Hasn’t been determined yet, but we tend to price these things at about half of the physical, so I’d expect in the $7-8 range.
Pumped and waiting for it. Probably going to want both physical and mobi as that is how I have all of the other core books.
Orders closed?
Thanks!
Orders not open yet. Street date is August 17th.
This looks really cool. Pity I can’t get the hardcover book delivered from Evil Hat to me in Australia, ao I’ll have to outsource it somehow. No doubt I’ll have the pdf version long before then. This looks great, I’m currently looking at running a Hollywood Action Flick style game, so I’m thinking having some guidelines on opponents and such will be good.
Looking forward to this release!
Will PDF be available on 8/17?
Wow, Amazon’s actually OVERCHARGING for an RPG book for once? MSRP: $15, Amazon: $20. Their pricing’s usually better than that. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1613171390/
That’s probably due to “collecTOYbles”, whoever they are, entering bad data. That’s gonna be fun to correct.
PDF IS AVAILABLE at DriveThruRPG.com

Need some version of this for Dresden Files accelerated.
Pretty sure it’s directly applicable. 🙂
Is this available somewhere in the gen con vendor hall? I didn’t see it in the indie publisher booth with the other fate and Dresden books.
IPR sold out of their entire supply by Friday morning.
I ordered this thru Aetherworks (Australia), but they told me it was out of stock. Not sure if that’s because they pre-listed it before release, or if its a preorder that has a high demand. In any case it will be a welcome addition to the FATE Toolkit series!
I’ll talk to Aetherworks about it, but the product JUST got released Thursday.
Hey. Just got this, and am enjoying what I’m reading so far. I’d just like to mention that I’m one of those people that enjoyed having ePubs, and would love to see them return.
Disappointed that I can no longer source anything direct from Evil Hat to Australia. Have sent a query today to Aetherworks to confirm stock availability of “Fate Adversary Toolkit” before actually ordering.
