Dawn Rising: A Silas Blog

Nexus… legendary planet of the Eldan. A world of mystery, danger, excitement, and adventure. Thought to be lost for thousands of years, the rediscovery of Nexus has sparked a galactic gold rush, as everyone tries to stake their claim on the fabled frontier world.

For the mighty galactic empire of the Dominion, Nexus represents the reclamation of their divine legacy.

For the disenfranchised Exiles, Nexus represents their last shot at survival… and a chance to finally have a home.

But Nexus hides terrible secrets beyond its forgotten shores, and its explorers may soon find themselves embroiled in a saga that will determine the fate of the very fabric of reality!

Pretty high stakes, eh cupcake?

Wildstar Accelerated is a tabletop roleplaying game set in the universe of Carbine Studio’s MMORPG. It’s based on the frame work of Evil Hat’s Fate Accelerated; if you’re familiar with the rules of that, then you already know how to play.

If not, you can check out their Official SRD. This guide assumes you’ll have access to it. Rules in Wildstar Accelerated are identical to those in Fate Accelerated unless otherwise stated.

Wildstar Accelerated is a rules light, heavily story based game. There are no strict classes or levels, and characters can be made with relative ease. I personally found it to be a perfect fit for Wildstar’s unique brand of pulpy sci-fi action.

The one weird thing you’ll need to actually play this game is a set of Fate Dice.  These are a special kind of six-sided dice that are marked on two sides with a plus symbol [+], two sides with a minus symbol [-], and two sides that are blank [ ].  If you’re playing in person, these dice are available at any hobby store (or can be made from normal dice with creative use of a marker).

If you’re playing online, Roll20 and Rolz.org both support the use of Fudge Dice.
