MCWOD and Dresden Files
Harry1974:
I have read McWoD and like it. I will be running this as a Dresden-like game. I agree that the official game for TDF will likely tackle the setting better. Having looked at several settings done using d20 like Babylon 5 and Star Wars I see that the d20 rule set tends to be modified for the setting. On this basis the game actually being written up for the setting officially should most fit the flavour of that setting (I hope!).

You've hit the major point right there. While I think that MCWOD is a neat book and well written, some conversion is still needed to make the WOD setting fit into a Dresden-style campaign. At least the vampires, weres, et all, seem somewhat similar in abilites in both WOD and DF so the conversions won't be too difficult.
Having seen some of Fred and Rob's work before, I think we can be pretty confident that they will fit the FATE rules to the flavor of the Dresdenverse very closely. DFRPG will be great when finally complete, I'm certain of this!

The fact that they are prepared to delay publication until they are happy with the result does indeed fill me with hope on this point. I have even purchased my first set of fudge dice today in anticipation! ;D

I went for two sets of fudge dice -- one which has the classic colors and the other with bright colors. (The second set was mostly so my 12-year-old daughter could have her own "hot pink" fudge dice. ;D) We're all pumped up about DFRPG and ready to play....

I originally purchased some Deryni (sp?) dice because that was all that my local FLGS in Birmingham had. I have since called a FLGS in London who are sending me the two fudge dice packs like the ones you have.
I went even further and purchased the pdf for Spirit of the Century because I was intrigued by your comment about the quality of Fred and Rob's work. Having read it I called the game store in London back and ordered a hardback copy. I guess you could say I have been sold! ;D
I am also really impressed (and just a little jealous) that your family is your gaming group. That is just great! :)
