The Dresden Files > DFRPG

Must... make... Dresden Files... MMORPG...

(1/4) > >>

Djoru:
I love tabletop gaming, but since the group I gamed with for years all moved in different directions I've gone to the well of not so fresh water that is the MMORPG gaming scene.

I think that the Dresdenverse would make an absolutely awesome backdrop for an online game.

Currently, there's not a single MMO with an urban and modern, vampire, werewolf, and magic theme.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that most of the crowd who posts on MMORPG boards is looking for something different, and a modern/urban/gothic <--(for lack of a better word) themed MMO would shine like the sun in the sea of medieval time and space sci fi themed games.

Granted, MMOs are expensive to get off the ground and maintain, but they also bring in monthly subscription money, and if the game is done right, with polish, feeling, and pride... people will pay and play, and play, and... yeah, you get it.

So is there any chance that we will see a MMORPG set in the Dresdenverse?

bentleyml:
I would honestly have to say it's unlikely.  I just don't think the Dresden Files are popular enough for it.  It would be interesting, but I think it would be very difficult for a MMORPG to capture the feel of the books. 

Djoru:
I know an MMORPG couldn't come close to capturing the feel of the books. I'm not sure that a table top game could either, unless it was run by Jim himself. I could be wrong.

On the other hand, the races and the inherent turmoil and politcal unrest between everyone would make for some awesome faction vs. faction wars and RPing. Not to mention the fact that the genra desperately needs something fresh, and as far as I know there's never been an MMORPG based in modern times with vampires, pixies, wizards, werewolves, swordsman, ect.

jtaylor:
If anything in that genra were to be produced, by bet is on a WoD setting mixing Vamps, Wolves, Hunters, Mages, Spirits, and Changelings.

Mickey Finn:
Dear god, that'd be horrible if it was like WoW. Need more Roleplay, less Rollplay for WoD.

There is a Dresden MUSH in the works ;) Theoretically.
