The Dresden Files > DFRPG

Inspiration for the uninitiated

(1/3) > >>

Lanodantheon:
I'm looking to run a DFRPG one-shot with my normal gaming group. I have one problem though: Most of my group hasn't read TDF or seen the show and don't have the time, energy or incentive to do so.

Rather than be a jerk and rag on them to read the books or watch the show, I want to make some pre-gens based on what they've already been exposed to.

So, let's make a list. A list of TV shows, books, movies, comics etc that are "in the Ballpark" of the Dresdenverse. They don't necessarily need to be urban fantasy, they can just be a stepping stone.

This list can serve not only as inspiration for the uninitiated but also as a way for everyone to get new ideas.

I'll start. Starred* entries mean, "With Magic" or "with more magic"
