I just read somewhere that the Dresden Files will be on Sci Fi channel on Sunday nights, starting on January 21st. Supposedly part of a new Sunday lineup,...
I've posted a lengthy delving into the ideas of lethality and toughness in the Dresden Files RPG, from a "look at the design process" perspective. Interested?...
... Thanks for the update. It's nice to get a look at what's going on behind the scene with the game design, and what is going through the writer's heads when...
... That's the idea! ... Oh, absolutely. Our nastiest examples from last night's trip through the laboratory still keep the bonuses fairly small. We'll...
... Yeah, I think that the difference between adjusting the ranges and subtracting are too subtle to really add anything. In any case, if you're going to add a...
... I hear what you're saying, though I don't think we're going to end up going in that direction. We're *very* multiple-roll-averse, for reasons that are...
... Do these reasons only apply to multiple rolls? That is, wouldn't they apply to adding fiddly bits to the combat resolution? That is, it's hard to see why...
... Suffice it to say that I suspect you see this as a choice between fiddly bit or additional rolling, whereas I see it as a choice between fiddly bit without...
... they apply ... to see ... fiddly ... fiddly ... Actually, I have a potentially simpler idea. Picture this: You keep the same damage track as Spirit of the...
Since it seems to be the tradition around here, I guess I'll introduce myself. My name is Ed, and I'm from Syracuse, NY. I'm a fairly new fan of the Dresden...
... Stunts will be in the game, separate from the magic system. And yes, they will also be in Fate v3. ... Started from scratch. ... No problem! Welcome to the...
Hello, I'm a newcomer to the series, having just read through Storm Front and Fool Moon. The prospect of an RPG based upon the series is exciting to me, even...
... Hello! Welcome aboard! ... Yes, that is correct, but that's not all there is to it. There are three main facets to a character. Aspects, Skills, and...
Hey everyone. New member to the group. I'm from St. Catharines, ON (Canada) and a huge fan of SotC (which is what got me interested in DFRPG). I really like...
Obviously, Fred will have to answer this for sure. But, given my experience with other licensed systems, you will at least need someone in your group who has...
Hi there. bjorn_thundermane@... asked about whether you need to read the Dresden books to use the Dresden RPG. Whether necessary or not, the books are...
... I'd recommend a passing familiarity with some subsection of the books, but we'll be doing two things: 1) About 45-60 pages (depending on how it gets laid...
Although Fred has spoken (and he knows better than any of us what is in the game), I'll add my two cents. The GM should probably read the books. There is a ...
Just to chime in where others have gone before... I think that for any pre-generated campaign setting, the GM has to decide how close to the "canon" the group...
I've kept quiet the last long while, as work and life have kicked me in the teeth quite a bit. Now that I have some +3 Dentures of Morte in (10 geek points to...
... in the teeth quite a bit. Now that I have some +3 Dentures of Morte in (10 geek points to whoever gets the reference) Oo! Oo! _Planescape: Torment_! ...
Just thought I'd show my face, or near enough. I seem to have almost fallen by accident into an interest in this Dresden Files thing. I should have the first...
I have been a test player for many systems. Unfortunately, many that did not survive. I have been gaming since the begining of RPG's and like many have...
... Since the early 1970's? Impressive. :) ... We're not planning on expending paper and ink to do playtest stuff, when we do do it, which we haven't...
... It's nice to find other old-timers on these boards. Seems like so few of us are left! I got into wargaming (AH/SPI) and miniatures gaming (Chainmail) in...
