Fables in D&D

[Bluebeard_LV]

I really liked The Wolf Among Us, and would love to play it as roleplay system, have anyone done something like this? If yes, please give me info.

As Fables fan, who have read the main series, about half of Jack of Fables, Cinderalla (From Fabeltown with love) I might have few ideas.
First thing- D&D as it is, probably won't fit the Fables.
If anything, maybe story teller system like Fate would fit.

They got many rules that D&D is... too rational system to deal with.
For example-Prince Charming always win.
Always- girls, wars, duals.. he always win. But he is a failure about dealing with it afrerward.

Also, there is the matter of popularity=power.
Snowhite can survive a bullet to her brain.
Red Rose can't.


If you also count the Literals, then... D&D as it is, won't work.
You could use D20 if you wish, but the story of Fables is about mechanic of stories-
for example the revival of The Round Table, which repeat the same story.



I have dmed Fables in complete freeform..

The Wolf Among Us works great as its own thing, but doesn't really translate very well to the tabletop. The game is about Bigby's self-control over his condition and a mystery that he's trying to solve, alone. The fables themselves are many, varied, and ill-defined. What exactly half of them can do isn't really specified and a lot of the bigger problems aren't solved by brute force - there are fight scenes, but not usually against anyone important in the grand scheme of things. It's a mess that cleverly hides that it's a mess by not having half of the situations that could theoretically occur actually occur. That doesn't lend itself well to tabletop role-playing games.
