The Dresden Files RPG -- Information Thread

That was fantastic, Iago. Who actually wrote that? Group effort?

Actually, I wrote all of it. But as a group, we've had a lot of practice.

"Keep at it, mate!
Those goblins will all fall, eventually!!"

And when that happens, the awesomeness and the fun to be had by all will know no limits!

I cant wait for the RPG, though I haven't played in 8 years. When I discovered the book series it rekindled the old creative spirit (my career and family have replaced gaming nights, not to mention we have all moved away from each other). Im glad the developers are choosing to do it right then having a disappointing product.  From a business sense they are staking their name on the rpg. Its going to go to a wider audience from the popularity of the books.

My question is this, is the fate system similar to silver age sentinels in character creation? From reading though the forum and evil hat it has the same kinda "feel" build the character the way you want it.

SAS shares SOME points of similarity when it comes to things like powers and such, but the real touchpoint for character creation is our other game, Spirit of the Century.

It seems like a awesome idea, But it's just going to be another system i have to learn. D20 d6 d10 a d12 system and no a system that's just cluster bombed to me.

You're welcome to use the setting material and adapt it however you see fit. But please, let's avoid making this a thread about bitching about systems. 99% of the Internet is for that (and is about that, honestly); let's make this place the 1%.

I though 99% of the internet was for was pr0n. 

Setting can be adapted to any system - some better than others. If you use the system included in the game, you are saving yourself a lot of work and headaches as a GM, but it's your game, do what you want.

I once ran a Cuthulupunk-voodoo-fantasy-supers-blackops-vampire-wuxia-mecha-star wars crossover in GRUPS. It was like a cross between shadowrun and rifts, and was a huge headache to run. We had fun though

Internet:

porn 50%
bitching 49%
everything else 1%

[JonseyMcFly]

I would supose it's a lil more like

10% porn
60% bitching
29.8% emo live journals
.2% every thing else

You forgot marketing.

I made a pretty good frame for running a dresden game in White Wolf's Scion system.  Never did get a group to play it though, thank to the tragic end of college and this stupid Real world everyone keeps going on about.

Hi there! I'm brand new to all this, i've never played an RPG in my life before, not even Dungeons and Dragons!

I'm guessing that the Harry RPG is a game for numerous players "In House" as opposed to one where you can play over the internet, or am i wrong in guessing that?

If its not meant to be able to be played over the net (and i don't mean Warcraft style, i mean just discussing and taking on roles), does anyone know of an online Dresden RPG? It has to be online cause none of my buddies are into this kind of thing!

Thanks!

Check out the Play by Post sub-forum for a lot of examples of playing online.  You can probably also find a group to play with there.

thanks very much! i really appreciate it. I just didn't wanna spend money on the books if i couldn't actually play it!

So far I am loving the game.  I convinced my regular gaming group to buy a few copies and we swapped it out for our regular game.  Everyone seems very positive on the system so far.

Here is the question.  Has there been any speculation as to future supplements, guidebooks, or scenario ideas?  While I realize it is quite early, I have to admit I am greedy for more.
