Pre-gens?
« on: September 12, 2012, 03:54:13 PM »
Since one of my players is becoming a daddy for the 2nd time there's a brief break in my normal game and I was thinking of running a short dresden files adventure.

I don't want to spend a whole session generating characters, sorting out chargen rules with my players.

Does anyone have any simple submerged pregen characters or does anyone know a place to DL them?

Preferably with brief explanations of the powers of the characters so there's no need to look them up during play.

I think there's a whole thread somewhere where people post NPC's.
I'll have a look for a link.

Alternatively if you have an idea for the one-shot I am sure the wonderful people of this forum will create some interesting characters suited to it as well.

There are 3 pre-generated adventures out there:
Neutral Grounds
Night Fears
Evil Acts

They come with characters and all and they are free, just download them. I think most of the characters have descriptions of their powers attached as well.

If you have something else in mind, YPU is right, you'll probably end up with more characters you can use ;)

I would love to run through the character creation process with a few others for you :D

I believe there is also a one shot adventure where the players have to try and catch/stop pixies from sabatoging a pizza place. Finding the pixies is the hard part, I would imagine.

You're spoiled for choice here, honestly.

Even if there's nothing in the Spare Character Concepts thread, there are oodles of playable PCs in the play-by-post section. Just look for threads that say Character Creation.

And if you're willing to dig, there are playable characters all over the place. My Character Request Game thread has some, the generic NPC thread has some, the various campaign settings in the campaign setting thread have some, and so on.

It's here. Unfortunately it lacks pregens.

Pre-gens should be getting put up for it on Sunday.  When time permits, a small library of pre-gen character will appear online.

There is also Submerged level Warden war party to get uploaded, as well as a half-dozen colonial Puritan ministers/witchfinders.

So little time, so much to do.

There's also the make it up as you go option. All you have to do is nail down High Concept and maybe an apex skill (?) and go from there. As you think of something about your character, just fill it in there on the sheet, then it's set.

They are largely written up.  They just need a spell check & re-check of skill/Refresh allotments.  Then conversion to PDF and upload onto the site hosting the other files.  Since the characters are tied into the games Witch Trial and Boom Town, it's taken some time to get everything else out of the way.

Thanks for this! Always nice to have some pre-gens ready, just in case....  8)
