Such a perfect fit for FATE. I seriously can't watch episodes without mentally narrating what's happening at the imaginary gaming table producing what I'm watching, and it always comes out in terms of FATE. Especially season two.

So, by this can one infer that material (such as the Archive and its knowledge, or lack thereof, of electronic only information) is canon up to the divergence of the RPG-verse and main-verse? Well, at least as far as Harry knows.... At least for purposes of winning arguments in the spoiler board :D
And, for a pen-n-paper n00b, I find this absolutely amazing. I already have a Crown Royal Bag full of glass bead thingies from the Walmart craft section for fate points (ok and for epically long games of The Dread Pirate, a rote board game I love)

Well, you have to take into account the following:
* It may not be canon in the actual Dresden Files that Billy wrote this game.
* Even if it were, the contents of the game represent Billy's best educated guess on how the universe works, and that's it.

Plus alternative takes on a well know canon may be very fun (lots of Amber games can attest to this). ;D
