« on: October 02, 2010, 11:49:49 PM »
Saw this on twitter from EndGame Oakland

"EndGameOakland  Woot! @fredhicks saved our party to announce a Paranet sourcebook for the @dresdenfiles #rpg covering the fallout from Changes"

Can't wait for more details

I don't see any... just the announcement of. I'm going to guess this will make a lot of people happy...

Yes, it does! Hopefully they'll release that relatively soon. Though I don't think I can bring it into the game I'm running just yet - only one of my players has read all the books. The others are still fairly early on in the series.

Same here. I'm still working on learning the system but I am such a hog for information.

(Spoiler Alert for any who have not read Changes)

I'm expecting we're going to be introduced to the Jade Court

I doubt we get anything about the Jade Court.  Butcher has said that they won't be showing up in any of the case files.  I'm a little bit skeptical that they'll even show up in the apocalyptic trilogy, despite fan hopes to the contrary.

I thought I'd read that WOJ said the Jade Court would appear in the BAT, and no, I'm not posting any links.

What I remember about Jim and Jade Court, is that he has said we won't see them until he learns more about asian mythology about vampires.

I'm more excited about the sub-stories that can be spun out at the Paranet's power level - focused practitioners, clued in mortals and minor talents taking up the fight - I kinda compare it to the Scoobies of the Buffyverse, except Buffy is a phone call away - if her phone is working - and when she does get the message, might take a while getting there.

I wonder if the format will stay the same - ie. its being written from Billy Borden's POV - or... maybe

From what I remember of the Jade, Jim said that if they show up, it'll be at the end. He hasn't even promised if they'll be in the books. Still, the game designers could ask him at the very end, "What do those stupid Jade Court Vampires do!?" and they could get an answer.

The game designers have agreed not to include any spoilers - things have to be revealed in the books before they make it into the game.
