Finally, a book that explains Fate so that I can easily and quickly understand it. I recommend reading it with the SRD or Fate Core, so you can reference in-depth explanations or examples if you want them.

Great guide, good price. Get it.

Clears up a lot of the things that got too glossed over in Core, but I figure it will still be difficult to get a game running smoothly with only these rules if you GM Fate for the first time. This is partly due to the flexible nature of Fate, and the difficulty of stuff like making good compels (not that anyone agrees on the matter either), but the explanations are solid and it's an overall upgrade. I'd recommend this in combination with Fate Core and someplace online where you can ask for advice if need be if you're a GM. If you're a player, this is perfectly sufficient and will give you a solid idea of how the game works too.

If you want to use this in place of Fate Core for a Fate supplement, the conversion is usually very easy. Note that hitboxes are different in this version, that will likely be the most glaring difference.
