Actually Draconic lets not involve the Fate cast, just OCs getting caught in something beyond their understanding.
Touko's Elizabethian or was is Victorian? Ouija Board

They have to fight Mecha Mikiya to get to it

Let me offer some insight on critique. They have to ask why because it ties into the character's motivations. It in large part helps keep the character stay in-character and is also the driving force for the characters to act or move.
Easiest example is Shirou's motive to save everyone. And now that I think about, it's easier to use him in crossovers like In Flight for that very reason (before GB messed that up). If there's trouble or someone's life is in danger, he has enough reason to get involved in the first place. As I brought up before, in that fanfic one of the characters was in a similar state of mind to Shirou within the Fuyuki Fire and it was perfectly in character for him to sympathize in some way and care to help her.
Other easy motives like revenge, greed, or even just plain hunger/self-preservation give people reason to act. And keeping people in-line with their motives/incentives/desires is good not just for fanfics but for original stories as well.

But when the premise is inherently silly, asking why just shuts everything down. It really is as simple as that. This idea is definitely too silly to be taken entirely seriously, though it's a very good idea nonetheless imo. Asking why the cast is playing D&D is obviously going to come up with 'they are not. It just won't work,' so obviously if the story is to work, there are going to have to be various things that aren't entirely accurate to the preexisting world.
If anything, Tohsaka can play because Shirou's playing, and Shirou would play because Saber's playing. Assuming that at least some of the Servants are there. Just to see Saber getting frustrated by playing as some character dtronger than any normal human, yet still a weakling compared to her.
I know, I've oversimplified, but I just feel that asking why for something that would almost certainly be a largely humorous fic could defeat the whole thing.
I mean, in my current project, Tamamo asks Doctor Roman for help making a résumé, when she normally would just do it herself. But if she did that, I couldn't make the story funny. There has to be interaction between Servants. Actually, it kind of deviated and is mostly Tamamo causing a debacle in the cafeteria.

I could easily be sarcastic but I won't. However...
...Think about this. If you don't get it, switch 'premise' with 'fiction'.But when the premise is inherently silly

No one asked that though.
And no one said that either.
The closest thing was Nier asking for elaboration from a one sentence description.
Of then which AvengerEmiya gave.
And then no one questioned the plausibility of the idea of SN cast playing DnD.
To give a literal play by play
Arashi half jokingly asked how the 3rd has to do with DnD
I incorrectly asserted trying to reach the Root like this is OOC for Rin and then realized it was Ilya who was organizing this, and thought it was too similar to Ilya's Castle. And forumghost concurred.
Shikyo gave the idea of having the board game as a cursed item but then said he thought it might be too similar to Jumanji
Then Shrapnel rhetorically asked why Ilya would care about trying to reach the Third when it's a post-HA world.
No one has asked why the cast is playing DnD, neither has anyone say its implausible.
The arguments against are "this has been done before" and "putting the 3rd and DnD together doesn't make much sense"
When you think about, you're the one who keeps saying the premise is inherently silly.
So maybe....

This reminds me of that one Darths & Droids-esque comic someone was making based on Fate.
I remember Shinji evolving into Lancer.
Also this beautiful masterpiece is still a thing: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3837088...nitiative-roll
I've always want someone to write ' a day in the life of chaldea' I just wanna know what goes on when there not going into singularities.
I know chaldea has a dorm i think

So I've been reading Umineko (still reading it don't spoil anything please) and I can't help but feel a murder mystery would be cool in the Nasuverse. Well, I guess that's what Case Files Vol 1 was, but it wasn't very intricate. I was thinking something using the F/A imitation Grail Wars might work.
Maybe some pacifist magus invites four of his acquaintances to take part in a ritual. Rather than fight to the death, his intention is for everyone to have a friendly discourse and determine who should be the one who gets the Grail. To facilitate this, he locks everyone (including himself) in a completely isolated mansion, with the idea that they will only be free once a winner is chosen. Since he set up the ritual in the first place, there would be precautions in place to weaken the Servants (and maybe the Magi I guess) or something.
And then someone is murdered. The culprit leaves a message exclaiming that unless someone is chosen, the murders will continue.
So basically the story would be about a bunch of greedy Magi (all with their own motives) arguing who should have the right to the Grail, while also trying to figure out who is behind the murders.
Theoretically this concept could probably work without the Grail War background, but then nobody would read it. Besides, I think the Grail serves as a good central motivation for all the characters. The Servants add a little flavour, and would probably be existing characters to balance the mostly OC Magi cast.
So you want to do Clue taken a bit seriously with a mix of OC and canon characters?
I'd read that if you included a good balance of aforementioned OC/Canon people.
Imagine that the world is made out of love. Now imagine that it isn’t.
Imagine a story where everything goes wrong, where everyone has their back against the wall, where everyone is in pain and acting selfishly because if they don’t, they’ll die.
Imagine a story, not of good against evil, but of need against need against need, where everyone is at cross-purposes and everyone is to blame.

I've always been curious as to how one would one justify a out of context magic in the nasuverse, like would gaia actively stifle dnd magic?
