Introducing the Toolkit line! These purple-covered books are designed to help you put your ideas into action in Fate. If you find yourself thinking, “What we need here is a flying ape brigade with time-altering lasers, but how do I do that mechanically?” then the Toolkits are designed for you. Whatever your flavor of Fate, the Toolkits are chock full of ideas to help fuel your game.
The Toolkits are designed to work together, so pick and choose system elements from as many or as few as you want. Are you looking to run a Halloween campaign about evil wizards and the group of meddling kids who take them down? You might take the magic rules from Fate System Toolkit, build up the fear factor with the Fate Horror Toolkit, and use ideas from the Fate Adversary Toolkit to create villains that your group will remember forever.
The Fate System Toolkit provides an overview of the kinds of mechanics Fate can support, so if you’re looking for a broad spectrum of ideas, that’s a good place to start. The rest of the Toolkits are designed around a particular theme. All of them are crammed full of mechanics for Fate—aspects, stunts, challenges, compels, zoned combat, and more!

Just hopped into the Fate Adversary Toolkit. A great smorgasbord of encounters and challenges which also fleshes out adversary oriented rules in a useful way. It displays Fate Fractal powerfully – everything can be a “character,” framing a powerfully useful reference work. It works well.
Clock ticking down? This book gives you enough material to get things moving quickly – Fate newbies or anyone who really just doesn’t have time to work up a scenario now has a powderkeg of useful stuff at hand. Spice up your usage of Zones instead of just tossing them arbitrarily to the side (guess I’m the only one that’s ever done that, right?). Put your thugs, mooks, normals, and NPC-lite snacks to work for you a little more effectively. This book’s a great mentor.
Keep the product at this caliber or higher and you’ve got a great line of materials which can make Faters pretty happy. I certainly am.
Why can’t I find the link to purchase the Adversary Toolkit?
Sorry about that Rob. I’ve added the buy button to http://www.evilhat.com/home/fate-adversary-toolkit/
Just picked up the Adversary Toolkit at my FLGS, and am quite pleased. I’m liking the toolkit idea. Pray tell, what’s the Accessibility Toolkit all about?
I’m with Doc. I think I have a good feel about what most of these Toolkits cover, but can’t grokk anything about the Accessibility Toolkit from its title.
I found an interview (In the One Shot Modifier podcast) with one of the authors of the Accessibility Toolkit talking about the concepts behind game and gameplay choices that include everyone – https://overcast.fm/+F4PRDp_Wg/12:53 – I’m actually pretty excited now about this toolkit even without more specifics. I’m hoping it will discuss making game play more accessible (like how to represent scene aspects for visibility) as well as typical toolkit topics flavoring character descriptions, aspects and stunts where characters might encounter challenges with accessibility.
