Do. The Fate system is one of the greatest progressive leaps forward in PnP RPGs and the Dresden Files implementation is nicely malleable to just about any contemporary fantasy setting--and perhaps beyond with a little work (and research through the DFRPG forums). Plus, the writing in the books is just spot on Dresdenverse stuff.

I ordered it, but my gaming group seems to get together on blue moons.
No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.
As a casual reminder, Side Jobs (a short story compilation) comes out next Tuesday and the last story in it is a brand new one taking place after Changed. Enjoy ;-).

I'm looking forward to this, since I've not been able to track down and read all of the short stories. It'll be nice to have them all in one place. I just hope it won't take me four months to snag a copy from the library this time.

I need a good song for this video. I'm tempted to use "Magic Man" by Heart, but on the other hand, I think it needs something big and sweeping and over-the-top orchestral bombastic.

Does that mean you are making the video? Seriously, I have never looked forward to another of your videos more.

Let's just say I am torn between doing a vid for THE DRESDEN FILES in general...
... or actually using the COH engine to do a trailer for GHOST STORY.

The Dresden Files RPG is one of those that fits in the "worth reading even if you never get to play" category. I was utterly amused and entertained by the footnote commentaries from Billy, Harry, and Bob. Harry's wry indignation at seeing his life, trials, and tribulations expressed in RPG terms was often laugh-inducing.

 I have read every book, and every story with Harry in it. So looking forward to Ghost Story. I haven't played the RPG yet. |

Would it be greedy to ask for both?
Seriously, I would love to see either one, and would happily help in any way I could, base design, controlling a character, ect.

Now I just need to pick up SIDE JOBS so I can see what "Aftermath" looks like...
*slow evil grin spreads across Ko's face*
And I think I just found the music I need to use if I do a trailer for GHOST STORY... oh, yeeeaaaahhhhh...
