Should we revert to `Power Points`? #60

Closed CBroz1 closed 2 years ago

CBroz1 commented 2 years ago

For 0.0.0a3, we changed to Fate Points, FP, for the better acronym. Does this overly link to Fate Cards, instead of associated with Powers?

Was thinking about this more last night @CBroz1 - I do think Power Points is more intuitive and tied more closely to the core of the function.

Going back to design axioms of accessibility I think streamlined and accessible design here becomes a core guidepost on this decision.

We aren't leaning heavily into the idea that "you control your fate by manipulating Powers, therefore you use Fate Points". I think that characters in DofA's multiverse can wield Powers and use their Power Points to do that.

I would be in favor of changing to Power Points ahead of Beta 1.

With the consistent confusion I would have to agree. While I like the name "Fate Points" better from a flavor standpoint and potential inspiration for narrative play as a GM, I dislike players not remembering their Fate Cards are entirely separate from their Fate Points more.
