Hi

I'm new to the forums and just found this thread. I found the discussion about FATE very interesting but I personally think the system works well. It's fair to say that a lot depends on the GM but, to be fair, that's the same in just about every RPG ever made. Any game, no matter what the rule system, is totally dependent on the relationship between the players and the GM.

As for other game systems I'd have to recommend Savage Worlds. It's a great system and very well supported by the game designers. The forums are very active and friendly (just like here).

That said, I really think the FATE system will do justice to the Dresdenverse - I can't wait for the game to be finished.

Expensive as all get-out, though, no?

I seem to recall feeling like their dice were very, very pretty -- but felt a little light and small in the hand compared to what I'm used to with Fudge Dice.

Well they're certainly not cheap - 2.50 Eur (which at present exchange rates equates to $3.70 US). As for being light and small compared to other Fudge dice, I'd have to disagree. They're the same dimensions and feel the same weight; although I haven't actually weighed them on a set of scales

What I will say though, is "they's shur look purdy".
