I like it. Its interesting and has great potential for use in stories.

Oh, thank you very much. I was worried that it might have got put on hold.

I was reading a thread on wards and some people in it mentioned pulling in 30-50 shifts of power for one. 
Why would you bother? 
If a ward is a block layered over a threshold, what purpose do you have for one stronger than 15-20 or so?  Very few things are capable of hitting harder than 8 or so, and the ones who are hitting at 20+ are rare indeed.  Add several shifts to duration and short of rigging it to explode all over people you shouldn't need more than 20-30 ever and there is no reason I see for 50.
Am I missing something?

In case the player character in question has pissed off a major league ectomancer with an army of zombies at his command.

No, most wizards don't have as big of a problem with technology as Harry.

1. The more raw power you have, the bigger of an effect you have on technology. Harry has already rated himself as among the top twenty wizards or so in power. Molly can't hex things like Harry does, for example. And its been shown that practitioners from the Paranet can use and keep cell phones without much difficulty.
2. Its been suggested that the reason mortal practitioners effect technology the way that they do is because mortals are constantly in conflict about their own self identity and this conflict creates "turbulence" in their magical aura. I think Harry is more conflicted than most.

Hi folks,

I've been wanting to play a Dresden campaign for years now, and a small group of friends have finally gotten on the same page and want to do it as well. One of our friends has always had a mild interest in this kind of thing, but hasn't read the books, and since we're starting in less than two weeks, there probably isn't time for him to read Storm Front with his schedule. It's not like the concepts are hard to get, and he'll grasp the basics easily enough, but we want to give him a bit of a primer before hand as best we can.

It's been years since I watched the TV series, and while it does have it's flaws, it's "close enough" to give him an idea of the kind of world this is. Any suggestions on a couple of episodes to get him to watch as a sort of Dresdenverse primer, so he can have an idea of what kind of character to play and what to expect in the game?

He could design his character as someone who is new to the world of the supernatural so that the character itself is inexperienced. I did that for a game of Vampire: The Masquerade. It worked fairly well.

Well, the Servants are humans who have been "upgraded" with parts like gills, night vision and other fun stuff. I'd look to the Creature powers for ideas. The Fomor themselves are aquatic, related to the Sidhe and have used entropy and water magic. A Fomor Lord makes an interesting appearance in the short story Bombshells, if you're looking for an official source of information. But we really don't know much about them or their motivations.

All your character's "healing" could be done off screen. Essentially the character would just have to hang on to the consequence for however long the rule book says and it'd be a compel-able aspect during that time. It reflect real life. You can have your heart broken and you'll be a mess for a while but eventually you'll get over it. Getting professional help or talking to a sympathetic friend can speed but either way, its going to take some time. I think I had a PC in my game who failed at a mental defense roll against an attack from some White Court vamps and our GM gave him the temporary aspect "PTSD" for a couple adventures.
