The two often involve fairly separate processes, and like 3.5 D&D, make much of the game take place before character interaction. As players are largely uninvolved with each other's OOBs, settings become jagged and incoherent as vastly incompatible concepts are often juxtaposed directly alongside each other in vacuum of historical isolation.

	~~===~~Example Games~~===~~		The key is to add mechanics which capture some distinct element of the periods you are stylistically referencing or drawing upon. For example, a game mirroring the leadup to the first World War should definitely make the construction of dreadnought battleships a significant element - players will inevitably compare that information and act upon it.

	~~OOBs are the social power structures that Players choose to build and play in a Fate Noosphere game which fall into one of three categories.~~

	'''Polities''' are the typical Story Debate bread and butter, and likely the first choice for a Player. As the name implies Polities usually cover any sort of body politic, including broad confederations with loose central power. In game terms this translates to direct rule over a number of Zones and influence in others with all the resources this implies. Polities present the broadest set of options and tools to the player and wield the most direct power.

	'''Movements''' cover all your transnational non-government organizations: conspiracies, criminal syndicates, pervasive insurgencies, powerful priesthoods, megacorporations, mercenary legions, secret societies, etc etc. Unlike Polities, Movements have no ability to properly ''rule'' a zone. However, they can potentially extend influence across vast areas without restriction. More importantly, a Movement can simply pack up and move its operations to areas more relevant towards its interest. While their unorthodox nature may be daunting, under clever guidance a Movement can be just as powerful, moreso even, than some of the greatest Empires.

	'''Legends''' are relatively small bands or individuals of tremendous personal power. Whereas a Movement is not necessarily any less powerful than a Polity, Legends are sharply and distinctly limited in the resources they can marshal on the Grand scale. On the other hand what they lack in raw power they gain in maneuverability and freedom of action. While they may not possess vast armies or have loyal agents in every hall, a Legend can quite easily tip the scales in a match between two greater powers should it so choose.

	Like Scale, which of these three best describes a particular OOB is always relative. The Hammer's Slammers are certainly a Movement in their original stomping ground, but Alois Hammer and his tankers might better qualify as a Legend in a setting where native armies are much larger and capable.

 '''Consequences''' are another way a Player can stay on the field, but the cost is much greater. These are, essentially, new aspects that describe some lasting impact of a struggle on your OOB. Whereas Stress is cleared away each year Consequences require time to recover from, providing new avenues for complications to arise and others to take advantage of.

-While the mechanics of Fate Noosphere may require substantial explanation for a newcomer, in practice they are fairly light. The generous headspace allows all manner of new mechanics to be added without weighing down the system. In Desert of Stars, 100thlurker added Divergence, tracking differences in technological approaches, and specific rules such as making deals with Spirits and Way travel.

-GMs can also easily remove entire levels of play from the system depending on their aims. For those wishing to abstract conflicts to directly opposed rolls, it's a simple matter to completely remove Large scale mechanics.
