The Dresden Files RPG -- Information Thread

[iago]

Let us know if there's anything we can do to help.  We are a willing little pool of outsourcing availability   

Hey, I know it.

If anything what I'll MOST need is help when we get close to launch -- as a tiny company we are very dependent on word of mouth, so advocates from the community around the globe would be a HUGE help.

Do we have a release date yet?  I wanna play . . . .

Nope. Not gonna give one either, for reasons outlined in the 'Schedule' link on www.dresdenfilesrpg.com

Can you give an estimate on what percentage of the book is done?

Can you give an estimate on what percentage of the book is done?

A really rough estimate?  Probably in the 50-80% range. It's hard to say, though, because a lot of that range is a range because there's some stuff that's *mostly* done but still needs to go some more rounds.

Definitely a REALLY rough estimate.  Is there a "hopeful" time-frame that we can beg for (say, fall 09)?  Or are you keeping it totally under wraps until we can start pre-ordering?

Oh, and will we be able to get PDFs along with our hard copies?  ('Cause I want to buy two hard copies and a PDF for quick-reference.)

I AM NOT GIVING OUT A DATE REPEAT I AM NOT GIVING OUT A DATE if I give out a date I will be a lying liar and we will miss it. THAT IS THE CURSE.

Print+PDF bundles will definitely exist.

I am sensing a desire in you to give out a date. (Waves hand, Jedi-style) You want to tell us the release date.

I am glad you are unwilling to give a release date....I know firsthand about the curse...as for word of mouth I will be glad to let everyone I know about the game/book! I can hardly wait myself but I know the wait will be worth it.

Are we theere yet?  :-[Are we theere yet? are we theere yet?

I know I have to wait...but my dice hand is sooooo ichty!

[John P.]

I ALREADY know about 5 or 6 Dresden fans just waiting for me to buy!

Any chance there will be a preview at Origins 2009?

I run a semi-annual local gaming get together in a store in my area (The Owner of the shop asked me to specifically not mention his Store or the local it is in. I am respecting his wishes. I will simply say I heard his reasons and understand completely.) either way, I get in contact with about a hundred gamers and I get the ability to advertise before the 10 games are started. I am completely willing to use this to publicize your game. (it has a better chance of being done in time than my D20 Homebrew. *laughs*) Either way. If that's cool with you guys I would need something to hand out. maybe a image. synopsis. whatever...I don't care too much.

That was fantastic, Iago. Who actually wrote that? Group effort?

I've been exposed to Rob's style elsewhere and I think I can see his fingerprints on it, but there's others involved I don't know of, so I can't be sure.  In any case, hats off to you all for the writing, the honesty, and balls to put it all out and say "This is the way it is."
