Hello again...
Mij is the GM and can answer the question about joining the game. (Since I have NO IDEA what his plans are. He's so tricky.) We are just reaching the end of a 'chapter' so it would be up to him as far as adding new characters.
The game has been going since late summer. As far as RPG's go it is a snails pace, but we ARE still going. Coordinating game nights with player availability and the story is the biggest hurdle so far, but I think it's safe to say we are all still interested and involved.
It isn't an alternate future, just an extension of the Dresden world. We have created a DF world in San Fran, and I really like it and the potential. I
think we are going to stick with "current" Dresden timeline.
As far as templates, we have a couple wizards, a scion , a were-creature, and a emissary of power (?? Mystic, help me here). If you do end up joining then we can help (and should help) with character creation.
De nada.
