Finished revising/fleshing out the second session recap.  I can probably do similar for future sessions if you like.

Also, Tess, I'm pretty sure I left my water bottle at your place the first time around.  I'm bad about that sometimes.  Can you bring it to Sunday's session?

Whoah...don't tell me you don't recognize that...I'll give you a hint, the movie would absolutely fit into the Dresdenverse just fine...

Finally remembered to look that one up.  Looks like it's Constantine.  I might have to watch that then.  I never really heard much in the way of good things about it, so didn't watch it.

You got the right one. And no its not high art, it's Keanu Reeves after all, but it is an entertaining part. Peter Stormare's part was small, but one of my favorite parts of the movie.

It occurs to me that with the possibility of Saturday being a no-go for the Range (Unless we go to an indoor range) then maybe we could do a Movie day?
Wonder if we can get a copy of "Practical Magic"...that and Constantine...any other suggestions?

Harry Potter?  ::please don't beat me!::

lol

Also, has everyone been able to check out my rules compilations so far on the wiki?  I just moved the links higher so they can actually be seen.

I'm actually rather proud of my work on them.  I'm trying to condense most of the important rules in the book down to about 10 short entries.

If we print these off or have wifi at a session, they'll make it easy to look up rules.  The references are included for most of them if anyone wants to check the book too.
Myself: If I were in her(Murphy's) position, I would have studied my ass off on the supernatural and rigged up special weapons to deal with them.  Murphy on the other hand just plans to overpower bad guys with the angst of her short woman's syndrome and blame all resulting failures on Harry.

I looked them over briefly, good job! +1 Fate Point for next session!
It will certainly make them easier to look up though print-outs would be good as well.

My apologies for intruding, but this reminded me of the Darkest of the Hillside Thickets songs "One-Gilled Girl" and "The Innsmouth Look."
"Like a voice, like a crack, like a whispering shriek
That echoes on like it’s carpet-bombing feverish white jungles of thought
That I’m positive are not even mine"

No worries, we've taken up a lot of space with chatter about our game.
Sadly I can't check out those lyrics from here but I will when I get home.

Bear,

 good job, ive looked over all of them.
-They fought for their lives But most of them died

-The angels were crying, As they carried his brothers away. With the fire raining down And the Hell all around
There were few men left standing that day.

I want one of these...http://www.hammerdog.com/twgs/index.html#Landscape...but $40 is steep...may have to talk to a friend of mind who works at a print shop about making something similar for me. I once saw a really cool screen that was magnetized and had customizable magnetic strips you could move around to reflect initiative changes etc...just need an aid to keep track of all the changing aspects on NPCs...8P

Added another NPC to the OP page; Amos White-Tree. Since someone wanted to get a hold of him.

Our obsidian page is getting huge and awesome.

I've poked around the site a bit looking at other games, and ours by far is the most complete and has the most information.

After another session or two, I've considered linking it to the community here since there is such a huge amount of info and resources for other groups just starting out.

I'm not sure we should do that since you have the stripped-down rules posted there. I think its fine for our own use but unless we can lock down that section we should keep it to ourselves.

Also, I altered Amos to be a Were-Crocodile and made a Rival Were-Gator clan...just to add some MORE color to the Glades...8)

I don't think we have anything to worry about. You couldn't even come close to running the game just from the brief references we have posted.  None of it makes any sense without context.  Even if you take the free FATE rules and try to make sense of what little is up on the wiki, you'd be completely lost.
