Title: Post-TDF RPG Releases
Post by: XavierDLH on May 04, 2009, 05:12:54 PM
I know that it's been said that the Dresden Files RPG is going to be very much a stand-alone entity, unlike most other, popular RPGs out there, with gobs of rules and story supplements. I rather love the idea of that, as it seems some RPG makers really go out on a limb to make a quick buck. So applause for that!
But it leads the mind to wonder what you guys are going to do after the Dresden Files RPG is out. Know what I'm thinkin'? Of course you do! Codex Alera! Is doing a Codex Alera RPG a possibility, though? I hope so. I'm much more a traditional fantasy fan, so I would probably enjoy such an RPG release more than TDF.
I think it would probably be a tighter game, too, as far as the mechanics go. In the Dresden Files, almost anything is possible with magic. But furycrafting is considerably more limited.
It'd also be awesome for character profiles, like what are being planned for the Dresden Files RPG. I have a REAL difficult time keeping track of the characters on the sidelines in both series.
Just a thought! ;D

I think we're gonna want to take a nice, long break from doing licensed settings after DF, but who knows. :)

Hahaha. Vacation. I hear ya.
Since the Codex Alera series finishes up at the end of this year, though, I think we should know... you know...

if there's even a world left to build an RPG system on!

On that spoiler front, you might want to listen to what Jim says in the latest Butcher Block: http://butcherblock.libsyn.com

Realistically, I think the Codex Alera would be a simple mod of FATE. Anima would be a decent system to tweak to make the story, but the GM would have to take some extra time creating limits for the PCs and statting up NPCs. It could be done, though...at least until a licensed property comes out.

Wasn't it said that the supplements and updates would be released as PDFs on the official site? (as opposed to scads of splatbooks)
