The Dresden Files > DFRPG

System confusion

(1/4) > >>

ludomaniac:
I am really, really looking forward to this game.  However, I'm a FUDGE/FATE newbie (the only FUDGE product I own is "The Collectors").  I understand that FATE is an adaptation of FUDGE.  But will I need separate FUDGE rules to play, or is the Dresden Files RPG a complete game in itself?  In other words, when I buy Dresden, will I also need to buy the FUDGE basic rulebook from Grey Ghost?

iago:
Oh my god I LOVE The Collectors.

The Dresden Files RPG will be a complete game.

ludomaniac:
Thanks for clearing up my confusion, Iago.

The only problem with The Collectors is that there's not enough of it.  I want White Wolf-style piles of sourcebooks, dangit!  OK, maybe not piles, but I wish there was more support material.  Is Thomas Mackay still active in FUDGE circles?  Poke him until he writes more.

Not sure.  I should track him down again.

While DFRPG is a complete game, you can get a better feel for the philosophy for the game by looking at FATE (free download) or Spirit of the Century (a "pulp" RPG from the same company as DFRPG, using a similar system).

Since you termed yourself a "FUDGE/FATE newbie" I would highly suggest you check out this stuff in advance to get a better feel for the game system. FATE isn't quite like other RPGs in that it's more loose than most rules systems. While there are many options, there aren't as many rules as some games and it may take a while for you to get it figured out. Once you do, however, the options are excellent!
