I have read the SotC Fate 3.0 rules and in it PCs "refresh" to 5 when a new story begins, unless they have more than the 5 (i.e. they don't lose extra points).

In the Dresden Files can characters store up fate points beyond their Total Refresh Level?  I.e. can a character with a Total Refresh of 1 be compelled into having more than 1 fate point?
If you have to ask, it probably breaks a Law of Magic.  You're just trying to get the Doom of Damocles.

Yes, you can store an amount beyond that level, though if people hoard them too much I am inclined to tell a GM to reset everyone's totals whenever a major milestone hits, or something like that. :)

If the players are hoarding that many FATE points then there is obvioulsy a tragic shortage of ghouls trying to eat their faces.

Its so sad.  A tragic shortage.  Surely the GM will be able to help them with this, and soon.   ::)

I am just trying to get all my questions answered before I teach my friends how the game works this Thursday.

So there have been no ghouls trying to eat faces (yet).
