If I were making a list of clichés about FATE, I would have to include some variant of "GM may I" on the list.

Like "GM can I invoke my Aspect of 'Grizzled Private Investgator' to get a bonus to chasing this guy? I do run a lot."

And maybe the stereotype of playing Microscope at every session 0, or being a wannabe improv comedian

(I've run a lot of FATE and it's my favorite least favorite system 🤣)
