How hard will it be to run a murder mystery in FATE Core taking

Firstly, since I'm not that familiar with FATE, could you quickly explain what you mean by 'declare plot points'? Do you mean players can demand the story explained to them, or that they can now dictate the plot for whatever length of time?

And that question and potential points aside, can't you as the GM simply declare players cannot buy the plot from under you, since it ruins the point of the game?

>>51043983
Not hard, FATE is probably very good for this. Also the rules state clearly that they can only change minor things in the narrative, or the dice roll. Plus, you can always veto the use of the fate point as dm.

In FATE players can spend points to declare a plot point in a scene such as :

GM : He points his gun at you and pulls the trigger

Player : I want to spend a FATE point to declare the gun jams

Ah, thank you kind anon.

In that case as long as it's nothing massive and kept to help with tense moments I don't think it should pose to be a big problem. All comes down to the GM.

>>51044131
That's not how it works. The change in narrative has to be directly tied to one of the character's Aspects. Your example might work in a supers game where someone has a superpower that manipulates luck and chance, but in nearly any other game, someone's getting shot.

Thats not how I remember reading it. It sounds like youre talking about invoking aspects.

You can spend a fate point to declare a story detail, but said detail should be tied to one of your aspects.
Invoking an aspect simply lets you reroll your dice or give your roll +2,

It only be as hard as your ability to craft a mystery is. FATE Core is pretty good with social and exploration mechanics as long as you have a solid grasp on how to use aspects. I'd look into FATE Toolkit for it's section on expanded social rules, which adds a bit more direction and challenge for players seeking to understand and manipulate the motivations of NPCs.
But yeah, FATE Core is a really good system, especially if you want the setting down to earth but still have a variety of skills to distribute among the players

Nah, anon is right.

You don't get to announce any old convenient detail--it has to follow your character's Aspects, and it's subject to being rejected via a "LOL like that would happen" reaction from the group.

But then, this is Fate. You're supposed to tweak your game to get what you want out of it.

Ah okay. My group is pretty good so I might as GM expand that a little since its a mystery. We could all craft something together and it'll be a lot of fun

It should be tied to an aspect, not necessarily one of yours, but otherwise that is correct. You'd be forcing someone else's character to behave according to their description.
So you could theoretically declare that an enemy's gun jams as long as that particular enemy or gun has a reason to fail that way.
