what playable stuff are you hoping for?

The alphabet is a harsh mistress.

I just realized there all in alphabetical order after Pure Mortal. *Face Palm* Well at least i know what groups are probably going to be on the sneak peeks.

The Focused Practitioner is up today:

Okay, cool. It looks like the focused practitioner is a relatively low investment character type, if you're willing to keep their supernatural umph pretty low. I'm guessing that this is the most forgiving way to get a single character drawing from another non wizard type template and grant them access to mortal magic.

And on that note I got my first spellslinger character concept popping into my head after reading that description.  It may sound crazy, but I think I might just play a Chloromancer.

I'm still working out how to make that work but that's OK; so long as I can make long grass trip up my enemies I can wait to work out how to make a chlorofiend. 

[Simon Hogwood]

I have a distinct feeling that there will be a few people out there trying to work around the "magic-breaks-tech" rules and make a Technomancer.

I have a Japanese fox spirit character I use in our homebrew modern supernatural campaign, I'd very much like to port him to the Dresden Files RPG when it comes out. Only problem is, I'm not sure whether fox spirits exist or not in Dresden canon. If not, I guess they'd probably be some variety of Fae, right?

[Rel Fexive]

Since the books have never been to Japan, and how we've seen the Fae so far mostly reflects the Western perception of such beings, there is no reason at all why magical/spirit beings from other culture's folklore shouldn't exist somewhere, somehow.  I would imagine much of the system-based nature of the Fae could work for these others too.

Any system which can cover what we've seen in the novels would likely be able to cover your typical fox trickster spirit. They mostly seem to pull off glamours. Some of the fair folk have been known to put on glamours, so I imagine that there's some system element to enable them to do that in the game.

I'd like to see some woodland fae , nymphs, dryads etc

Very nice! There are going to be so many interesting and fun options for character types - I'm glad I'll be GMing and won't have to choose

What I want to know is how difficult is it to travel from the Winter Court to The Great Outside or to the Celestial Temple and what does each place know about the other.  Or is it all just one place with one "people" who are seen according to the metaphysical "view" of the visitor?

What about non-staff foci/focuses?

There's a few in the books somewhere, are you including rules for that?

We already know from past posts that Harry's shield bracelet is going to have stats. Presumably we'll get foci for characters with write ups as well as some guidelines for making our own.
