I DMed my first game in FATE tonight. It went well. We didn't get past character creation but I think my players had a lot of fun. Making characters is very much like playing, it had adventure and intrigue and interaction between characters. It was great fun for me to see the characters blossom from simple ideas to characters with motivations and connections to the world. Its kinda different from the way other games do it.
I am running a post apocalyptic, kitchen sink type game. I love game worlds that allow you to play whatever you think up. My sister is playing an intelligent tree and my brother is a gunslinging knight. Both of those are kinda rip offs of other stuff but so is almost everything.
We had fun and should continue to have, so that means it was a success.
