Fate Accellerated was one of three finalists in my search for a new game system. The other two being Dungeon World, and SWADE (the eventual winner). There are some great ideas in this book, and I enjoyed reading it. In the end, it felt too much like a "toolkit" with some ideas and recommendations for how to do things, whereas SWADE (what I am running today) feels like a complete and flexible game system. It's not a bad system at all, just not the system for me. I may even eventually come back to it someday if I get tired of SWADE.
