Fate Worlds Volume One: Worlds on Fire
Fate Worlds is an expansion for the Fate Core System.
Flexible RPG systems like Fate Core are terrific if you have the time and energy to put into building a world. But we also realize that sometimes extensive prep just isn’t feasible. The good news? You can still experience the Fate awesomeness with the help of the Fate Worlds expansion.
Fate Worlds Volume One: Worlds on Fire is the first in a two-volume set. In Worlds on Fire, you get six rich story settings. Each setting includes custom mechanics, NPCs, and story elements—all ready to go using the system provided in Fate Core. We’ve got you covered regardless of your flavor of RPG choice. Divest an evil cult of a powerful idol in Tower of the Serpents, or experience the small town supernatural in White Picket Witches. Explore the lives, loves, and losses of fire fighters in Fight Fire, or take on a horde of WWI mechanical monstrosities in Kriegszeppelin Valkyrie. Whether you stick with one world or go on a grand tour, Fate Worlds will provide everything you need to develop your Fate Core adventure except the snacks.
Fate Worlds. All the worlds. Your stage.

What am I looking at here? Is this going to be a physical book, or just a download? When is it slated for release? Is there a kickstarter for it or was it part of the Fate Core kickstarter? Thanks.
Ha, guess we goofed on making that clear. This is an upcoming two-volume book set that compiles the 12 “mini expansions” that were funded as stretch goals during part of the Fate Core kickstarter. Both volumes will be released simultaneously later this year. Physical and PDF both.
Cool. Thanks.
Oh my. Why is this a softcover? It’s gonna look sucky on my shelf 🙁
Because we’re charging $15 for each one instead of $25.
I’ve seen it in person and this a very pretty book. With the matte finish it goes very nicely beside Fate Core and FAE.
I have to say, the settings and extra rules in both these books are fantastic and well worth the $15.00 they cost. Well done to the teams who worked on them.
Thanks Benjamin, I’m super proud of these books as well. Glad you enjoyed them!
You’re doing everything right! A solid, readable core rulebook, painstakingly cross-indexed, and books to “take it for a spin” and see what it can do in a variety of settings. Worlds range from great to good, but such a variety. Every six-year-old boy wanted to play fireman, and I had to wait for 40 years of tabletop RPGs to do it formally in Fight Fire, actually learning the lingo and procedures. I also liked the Burn Shift (*cough* Gamma World *cough*) and in Vol. 2, Camelot Trigger (Arthurian mecha, hee hee hee). And for those who want to tinker and customize rules, Fate System Toolkit.
