Given that the entire concept of The Big Red Couch is based in us throwing around notions of how to turn weird ideas into playable concepts, and what games would work for them, it seems fair to discuss the games we have experience with, though this is far from an exhaustive list.

Disclaimer: Mostly, at the moment we play FATE-derived games, or adaptations of other games you see here that are converted into FATE.

These might surface at any point, together with other things we hear discussed online that provided a spark of inspiration in some way.

Things We Own, In No Particular Order:

FATE (Spirit of the Century, Diaspora, Bulldogs, The Kerberos Club – Strange FATE edition, Dresden Files RPG, Fate Core, Fate Acclerated Edition {FAE}.)

(Direct experience of playing with Fate Core and Fate Accelerated Edition is pending, but we have access to them. Whoo, Kickstarter!  Some experiments at building characters can be found on the Game Resources page.)
