There's something kinda narcissistic about me saying,"yeah, I'd love that tshirt!"

I REALLY wish my GF would get around to designing the tshirt she's had in mind.  What do you think, Priscilla?  Would their minds be blown?

I'm still going with Jeff Bridges for Eb. He's supposed to be bald and bearded, and, well...


Besides, he's JEFF BRIDGES.
[Truth be told, I don't know if Billy Connolly would work. I've only seen him in 2 movies, and I barely remember them.]

I can see Duvall as Eb, but my GOD would Jeff be perfect.  He's not QUITE old enough, but I can see it.

When was Kincaid described as enormous? I've always seen him as a few inches shorter than Harry. 6'5'' at most. (that might count as enormous, actually. I don't know.) Plus, The Rock's a bit too muscular for Kincaid.

I may be mistaken, but I'd SWEAR that he's described has having a lean, muscular swimmer's build.  I think another few people are described the same way, but I'm relatively sure Kincaid was one of those.

I still say Clancy Brown for Morgan.  That voice, that presence...for god's sake, he's not just the Kurgan! He's Lex FREAKING Luthor!

Allison Mack is more of a Murphy than a Molly. Kaythanks.

I actually have to agree with both of you. Allison from the first years of Smallville would've been a perfect Molly, but she's closer to the age of Murphy now.  I don't think she's QUITE old enough to play Murphy yet, but still good pick.

I had this idea the other day that can't be confirmed till we actually MEET her, but I thought Titania should be darker skinned (y'know, Winter=pale white, Summer=tan/dark).  Following that thought process, what do you think of HER as Titania:



(that would be Gina Torres, folks.  Y'know, Zoe from Firefly for any geeks unawares ;^)  )

and if she's Titania, I think- again following the same idea for casting as above- that we have HER as Mother Summer:



That would be an actress by the name of CCH Pounder.  If you're unfamiliar with her work, I highly recommend you check her out.  I think she'd make a FANTASTIC Mother Summer (we'd have to age her a bit, of course) to Gina's Titania.

The absinthe is purchased, my friends. And it seems to be pretty good stuff, too!  MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Also, Chiro, I don't know about anyone other cat people on the board, but that is just horrifying. BLEAH!!!   :P

Absinthe?  (Go figure that a mind-altering substance would bring me back to the boards.  We'll see how long I can stay.)

This is my & everyone in my group's first go-round, so we're pretty much just sticking with the templates, maybe with minor tweaking. For instance, our were-form is gonna have a MINOR spell power, since we now know that

DFRPG / Combining Templates

According to YS, when you set your game at the "Submerged" power level, you could conceivably combine templates. Does anyone know how the minimum refresh cost would be affected then? Let's say someone wanted to be a Focused Practitioner and an Emissary of Power. Would the minimum refresh costs of [-2] and [-1] (respectively) simply combine to just total [-3]?  Or is there a rule for template-mashing that I'm missing?

Dresdenverse Drinks

THE FAMILIAR

Harry Dresden (Rum and Coke) $7.50
Snarky air spirits being particularly irritating?  Turn to Harry’s favorite drink, but with a kick!
Karrin Murphy (Irish Car Bomb) $9
When you combine a tiny but fierce hit of Irish whiskey and Irish cream in a stout ale, you’ll know why we named this ass-kicking drink after Murphy.
Toe-Moss (Long Island Iced Tea) $10
Just like Harry’s succubus half-brother, this tasty classic will leave you wanting more… and more… and make you love every minute of it.
Molly Carpenter (Grasshopper) $8
This chocolaty, minty drink is vibrant, appealing, a little bit wild, and best of all: green!
Gentleman Johnnie Marcone (Whiskey Sour) $7.50
Refined, strong, and always smooth, this drink is the perfect match for Chicago’s Godfather.
Sanya (Black Russian) $8
Needs no explanation!
Blue Beetle (Lemon Drop)  $6
This trusty, sweet and sour favorite kicks ass in a four-cylinder kind of way.

THE ARCANE

Mordite (shot) $6
This combination of grenadine and Captain Morgan’s Tattoo Rum is just like the deadly dark substance that kills with a touch. Imbibe at your own risk!
Fuego! (drink) $7.50
Handle with care!  This fruity drink of Blackberry Liqueur and OJ looks like Harry’s fire.
Three-Eye (drink) $8.50
This ghoulish-looking brew of Watermelon Vodka, Blue Caracao, and Red Bull will have you seeing visions of the other side… or are they real?
Titania (cocktail) $7.50
When the salted rim of this refreshing drink of Vodka, Melon Liqueur, and lime hits your lips, you’ll feel the presence of the Summer Queen.
Mab (frozen drink) $8.50
Ice cold.  Sharp.  Cruel.  Mysterious.  Exciting.  This drink will have you begging for mercy from the Winter Queen.
Swords of the Cross (three shots): $15
When all three swords are in town, Denarians beware!

THE NON-ALCOHOLIC

Ivy (Shirley Temple) $2.50
A classic kids’ drink, perfect for the repository of all human knowledge that needs to be home by bedtime.
Toot-toot (Red Bull) $4.00
It gives you wings!  Crazy, energetic, tiny fairy wings!
Ramirez (Cherry Coke)  $2.50
Lara Raith herself certifies that this drink is non-alcoholic.  At least, that’s what I think she meant.


The majority of these drinks were conceived of by Matt, our own Esperacchius and winner of the Butcherverse cosplay contest!  Thank you, Matt!

*walks in* Did I hear my name?  Oh, hey everyone! I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!

Well we can always ask the barkeep.  I think HE should have some ability.  Right?

For your last, I think the book itself has your answer:

We don't know if he was correct to think that, of course. But at this point, it's likely that we'll never find out.
