The Dresden Files > DFRPG

Total n00b to pen & paper RPG.

Jen'ari:
So last night I DL'ed the PDF's of the game and am reading them. Threw, I am kind of unsure how the whole thing goes down but I presume that it will be explained in the book. Anyone else a total noob and trying this out for the first time?

JosephKell:
Reading Chapters 11 and 14 will help immensely with understanding how things tie together.

Building Scenarios (chapter 15) is a good place to go after those two.

TheMouse:
I've been gaming about 25 years now. I'm also somewhat obsessed with FATE (the game system that runs the DF RPG). If you have questions or just want to jam about gaming, feel free to talk to me here or in private messages. I'm always happy to help people get into my hobbies.

Jen'ari:
Thanks so much for the info! Yea man I'd love a chance to talk stuff out! I got a small group of people who love the books and wanna play we we never did this before.

crusher_bob:
You mean your group is totally new to pen and paper RPGs?

hmm, then the best bit of advice I can give you is to remember that it's a game you are playing with your friends so that everyone will have fun.  So if some part of the game or the rules is impeding the fun, don't be afraid to change them around.  Remember though that the rules are partly there t ensure that everyone has 'equal' amounts of fun during the game.  So, for example, all the characters should have equal refresh since "the adventures of Harry Dresden (a -14+ refresh character) and Waldo Butters (a -4 or so refresh character)" would give most of the screen time to Harry, and probably not be as fun for the guy playing Butters.

As for how PnP RPGs are played, the Penny Arcade DnD podcasts seem to have been well received by people.  Of course, they are playing DnD 4th Edition, rather than a FATE based game, but I don't know of any podcast for them.
