Item: handful of Fate Core dice. Once per day, a player may select a stat (their character or any of their equipment) and then roll as many of these dice as they like; the selected score is increased by the number of pluses and decreased by the number of minuses. (In-game I’m not really sure how to explain these, unless you’re playing a campaign where characters’ stats can be “pinged” like whuffie in “Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom”.)

Item: Chess Orb

So if your character is challenged to a game of chess (or anything else, really) do you actually play a game of it, or do you get to, say, “roll 1d20 Skill Check (Chess)”

Important bit of nerd history here: this model of Branzoll Castle in Italy (not this precise individual one, but this model-number model) was plopped on some graph paper way back when David Arneson of the Castle & Crusade Society was first testing out some RPG rules his buddy Gary Gygax had come up with; he decided to rename the castle “Blackmoor”. Not quite as seminal as when GG flipped a map of Chicago upside down and wrote in “Greyhawk”, but almost.
