Brainstorming: Adventures in the Dresdenverse
Rechan:
I definitely want to use something like the Trickster from Supernatural. A demi-god like entity with real powerful magic - all about altering reality to play tricks on people.

The idea that the PCs be a group of (aprentice?) Wardens of the White Council makes sense - certainly an excuse for a wizards to hang out together.
Another excuse might be to have a group apprenticed to the same wizard (like Harry & Elaine)
However, PCs could also be part of Harry's "paranet" as alluded to in the sample chapters of 'Small Favour' - new, young, feeble magic users who have banded together for mutual protection.
Or, what about a group of half turned, Fellowship of St Giles types?
Or, changelings a la Lily, Fix et al in Summer Knight?
Or what about the Alphas as a template?
Personally, I like the paranet angle as overpowered PCs are kind of unimaginative to play - it could be fun to see them develop, come to the attention of the White Council etc.

Hmm.. why don't we all play a trial through email or chat just for a tryout and for fun? and GMs take turns to showcase their adventures? So i guess the adventures should not be too long and overly complicated. that way the Reign of GM'ing could pass on to another with their stories.
if there're alot of pple that would sign up to play, we could have multiple small groups with 1 GM each...
we can also setup a blog on the adventures for pple to read and get inspired.
I'm sure there're some veterans or newbies alike out there that would love to play and try out the Dresdenverse but have no groups to play with and some GMs dying to tell some stories of their own too..
ps... playing a game is not really about the rules for it is just a guide..the enjoyment of the story telling and the participation in it is the Real fun of it.
Rechan:
Not sure how that would work, Meowsan. Sounds interesting but... :)
Another thought is playing with dreams. A creature or warlock invading the dreams of people ala Kreugar. This would of course also raise the issue of the Third Law of Magic, if people wanted to jump into the target's head to stop it/fight it.

Sounds like the Fae courts to me...

That would be unique in that, if you did a bunch of research and then let the players do the same in RL. Truth really is stranger than fiction sometimes
