The Dresden Files RPG -- Information Thread
Aerhen:
I guess i will wait until i get accepted into the alpha or beta testing than... :P i can see alot of different ways that powers can be respresented... and i am curious than about which dynamics you will use.. havent seeen a work up yet online of 3.0... so i will look more.. and i like the core concept of SotC. Curious as well how u will deal with advancement.. because SotC is a fairly static in skill advancement, it seems to suggests buy more stunts, and more aspects, and fate points... but i am very excited ... and looking forward to testing the ideas... i luv gaming..
thanks for the opportunity even to talk about it in these forums..

On one end of the spectrum you will find rules-lite systems (or some with essentially no rules) which are designed to get people telling stories together. On the other end are rules-heavy systems, which are designed to be more "realistic" simulations of a particular setting. I find that 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons, for example, is a very popular game but is very hard to learn by yourself.

True: but there are lots of people out here that are willing to help others learn. And not just for D&D 3e.
Check out your local Gaming and Comic Book Stores and you should be able to find at least a few Gamers.
Another place to check would be the RPGA's Convention Website for a Con full of RPG fanitics that you can attend:

--- Quote ---Dresden Files is going to be released using the FATE game system, and you can get free information from http://www.faterpg.com/dl/. If you’re new to RPGs you might find someone who already plays to teach you (it’s much easier to learn by example) or download free RPGs like FATE and read about it yourself. Give it a try and don’t worry about messing up the rules too much. Go in to have fun. I’ve been playing RPGs since 1975, have read and/or played dozens of game systems, and have been a playtester for several games. It’s a great hobby and one you can enjoy for years to come. I’m teaching my children about RPGs and they love it, too.

Having Fun is the entire point of Roleplaying. I mean, if it's not fun, then go play your Nintendo / Wii / X-Box / etc
- or watch a movie; or read a book; or hang out with friends; or do something else that you enjoy.
--- Quote ---The secret to any RPG is having trust in the person running the game. That person invests a lot of time creating a situation for the players to experience. However, with that power comes the responsibility of running a game where the players can change events. (Many Game Masters seem to enjoy a process called "railroading" where an adventure is linear like a book or movie, and no matter what the players do they will arrive at exactly the same ending. Most players hate this and would rather read a book or watch a movie.) If your players trust you to run a good game, you can probably run any rules system in any campaign world and people will have fun.

Very nice advice. I wish that there were more people like finarvyn to play with near me!!

This goes from me as well.

Ok, here at work the RPG's page is blocked by the fire wall because it falls under the "games" category of things to block so the employees might actually get some work done. Do we have an official release date for the rule books yet?
