I was

Okay, I ran my first Dresden Game yesterday (not counting City and Character Creation, or the test game which we used Rick Neil's excellent "Night Fears"http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=90998&affiliate_id=24139).  Anyway, I've been following the DFRPG for a few years now and have been trying to wrap my brittle mind around the mechanics, but a few situations came up anyway. 

The one that I want to bring up is the Social Shotgun or Social Spray attack.

There ended up being a fight between the PCs a 1/2 Ogre thug and 2 Pure Mortal gang-bangers.  Now, one of the PCs, who is very much not a fighter, decided to use his Social Skills to effect the two Pure Mortals.  This is where the problem came up.  He was attempting to affect two different targets.  Now, I could have just said, "No.  One action, one target."  Rules wise, this would have been easiest, no not reality wise as both gang-bangers could hear him.

After thinking about it, I suppose that he could have put a Maneuver, say "Untrustworthy", on the 1/2 Ogre and tagged for effect.

The rules for Social Conflict are pretty much just guidelines.  I'm not complaining, but there isn't a lot in the way of explaining how to adapt normal combat rules to certain social settings.  As such, I'd like to get feedback on how other people would handle something like this.

Please give as much feedback as possible, as I'd like to have as many tools in my GM box as possible.

And, as always, thanks in advance.

All right, I appreciate the feedback greatly, but it brings up another point that I'm not clear on.

Invoking one of your own Aspects for Effect, such as Perfect Timing to show up on time, I can understand.  How does Invoking another character's Aspects for effect work, or even their Temporary Aspects?  For example, say a NPC has the On Fire Temporary Aspect put on them.  I can see a great many ways to Invoke for Bonus, but what happens when a PC decides to invoke for effect?

PS: Reported this for movement.

Not a problem.

I finally, finally, got my hands on the DFRPG and have been burning through YS and trying to wrap my head around such a radically different system.  There have been a few questions that have popped up, but on that I'm not sure how to answer yet is a stunned character.

If someone gets hard enough to make the pause, like by a Taser, do you count that as a type of Maneuver that needs to be overcome before they can act again?

How much resurrection juice must we pump into the Block?

Hah. That sounds like a killer character...  Speaking of which, am I the only Preacher fan here?

This guy could be very Saint of Killers.

This is why I always found level systems a bit silly.  A sharp mind is a hell of a lot more powerful than any for of combat ability.

Seconded for ARCANOS!!!

Hah! Another true believer!
