In my first couple Fate games I didn't get a lot of good compels in. But in this game my players have 3 aspects right now that are super easy to compel on:

  • "maybe the answer is violence"
  • "compulsive truth teller"
  • "[hostile NPC faction] bounty on your head"

If the players are dicking around too much, compel on maybe the answer is violence - get in there and do something. Fucking around with the NPC instead of advancing the plot? Compel to tell the truth and let's see what blows up. And if all else fails, fuck it, some goons from Razor can show up.

It's been a lot of fun.

The players haven't quite got a handle on self-compels yet, though.
