I wanted to drop in and post a link here. Like some people have said, the Dresden Files RPG will be based on the FATE system. However, it's a substantially retooled version of the system that's a LOT different from the version of FATE that's available now. What we're hearing is that the system will basically be the same as that used in Evil Hat's Spirit of the Century RPG, but with a new magic system, and modified damage rules. SotC is a great pulp game, and I'd recommend buying it if you like pulp. However, if you're only interested in getting a preview of the rules, you can check out the "system reference document" for SotC here:

(SotC is an "Open Gaming License" product, which means that while setting information and the like is protected, all the system elements may be freely distributed.)

You will ALWAYS get shortchanged by someone, even though you counted it out five times. RPGers spend most of their time crunching numbers for their hobby and they will burn you and not even know they're doing it.

You might be on to something there.
Also, always bring cash. The last thing you want to do is be the one who only has plastic. That is a major gamer faux pas.

If possible, bring all the money you plan to spend in two dollar bills, dollar coins and half dollar coins.

I will second the two dollar bills schtick.. but only if you are the last one to arrive and not the one who placed the order. It makes life amusingly difficult for the money-counter.
Zygoptera:
Okay, I'm looking for a serious answer, please. I've never played table-top, pencil/paper RPG either, but they're having a game day at my college in two weeks, and I was planning to go. I really want to learn how to pencil/paper RPG. Is there anything I should learn beforehand so I don't make an utter fool out of myself? Any terms, unspoken protocols, etc I should get familiar with, etc? Thanks!
