what playable stuff are you hoping for?

TheMouse:
It's not just wizards and other human practitioners. Those faeries that fed on fear also killed tech stuff, and I'm sure that other things will too.

NevynK:
as far as I recall they made things spooky but didn't kill the tech. After they left/were killed things went back to normal. At least as far as I remember might be wrong have to go check

TheMouse:
If I recall correctly, the lights and emergency systems went out while they were around. There's nothing definitive in the scene one way or the other as to whether they knocked out other tech, but there's definitely enough that an individual GM might interpret it that way. That's how I interpret what was going on, for example.

Still, this type of thing is one of those game contract situations where groups should discuss what they expect out of the game. I generally make my gaming suggestions assuming that things will go strictly by the rules with as harsh an interpretation as possible, as then it'll likely be a useful suggestion under a broad range of game groups.

NevynK:
True they knocked out the lights and emergency systems but then again they probably meant to do so. Magical intent is different from a natural occurance that happens whether you want it to or not. I mean come on the myurk we saw in SmF was some major mojo and the lights didn't even burn out till harry started waving his ju-ju stick around. Every horror fan knows the lights going out and the fog rolling in is standard issue, so of course the creepy crawlies had to hit the lights and all that jazz.

TheMouse:
As I admitted above, it's somewhat open to interpretation. Clearly the vampire courts, for example, seem to get along perfectly well with technology.

Still, some things from the Nevernever seem to play havoc with tech. I believe I recall -- although I cannot back this up with text -- that some items don't work when taking into the Nevernever, or at least parts of it.

All of which is to say, tying yourself to high tech items in the Dresdenverse means that, at some point, you're going to have some major issues. I mean, the books are about a wizard. Someone in your group will want to play a wizard. It would sort of suck if, whenever that character was around, your character lost his schtick.

Of course, much of the above is a series of assumptions. And we all know what happens when one assumes.
