It doesn't mention any ticket requirements but there does seem to be a time limit so make sure you arrive early and be prepared to wait if you don't.

For those curious, here's the logic that went into the calculation:

In "Blood Rites," we learn that Murphy's youngest sister, Lisa, is a month short of 21.  This book takes place in the late Autumn of 4 ASF.
We know Collin Murphy committed suicide when Karrin was 11, so Karrin can be a maximum of 12 years older than Lisa (in the case that he died before Lisa was born, but after she was conceived).
Therefore, in 4 ASF, Karrin is a maximum of 33 years old, or a maximum of 31 at the time of "Summer Knight."
In Summer Knight (2 ASF), Murphy's first husband's obituary states he was 41 years old.  Therefore, there is a minimum of ten years' difference between the two of them. 
Murphy herself says she was 17 when she and Gregory Taggart were married.

Now of course, this is assuming the far outside possibilities in age.  It's more likely that there's 10 or 11 years' difference in age between Karrin and Lisa.  The difference can't be too small, as Murphy needs to be old enough to have attained her rank.  With 29 as the upper limit in "Storm Front," I'm guessing 27 as a lower limit.

I'm puzzled as to where I got 13 as the age difference between Karrin and Gregory.  Eleven or twelve is far more likely, though I don't dismiss 13 as a possibility.

I worship your mathematical genius! *bow, scrape, repeat*

Southern Indiana here, more of a lack of time problem than a finding people problem *well, at least I haven't looked for a while so I can assume it's not a people finding issue*.

The better you know a city the easier it'll be to write for it. If we do see a TDF RPG supplement in the future I'd like it to be a collection of cities and NPCs to run with. I don't really want a whole bunch of supplemental rules, but more RPG source material would be great. The core book is supposed to have a guide for turning other cities into a Dresdenverse city, which should be helpful, and I'm sure there'll be fan-based resources out there eventually. Ya gotta love the internet for that.

For some reason I remember Changeling: the Dreaming being set in Chicago...could be wrong because I can't lay my hands on the rulebook (whether it got borrowed or sold, I forget).  Closest sourcebook I can locate for CA was White Wolf's citybook for LA.

Great concept for the pod cast.  Those of us who have read the books already have our preconceived notions about the characters and it's refreshing to remind ourselves that not everyone has that information.  While he noticed that there were gaps in the information given, it made him (and I would assume this is pretty common) curious about the books, enough so that he might give up some time to read them.  This alone makes the show a success as it will bring more people to the books themselves *even if they never make it here*.

I think Harry (and wizards in general) heal faster than the avg human (as evidenced by their longer life spans).  It might have nothing or everything to do with their connection to magic or just a genetic abnormality.

I do like the idea about the wild talent healing though (rather than a specific skill to be learned).

Have you seen/heard Stephen Lynch's Dungeons and Dragons (D-n-D)
ps: I am at work and youtube is blocked so I hope this is the correct link, I can't verify it to be sure though. If you would rather google Stephen Lynch & Dungeons and Dragons, it would work too, well worth you time  :D

"I'm wanting some more work done," I said "I need information."
"Are you paying in pizza?" Toot asked, his tone hopeful.
"Yes," I said.
"Wah-hoo" Toot shouted...

Presence:

from Blood Rites, Chapter 12
Thinking back later, I couldn't clearly remember her facial features or her body, beyond a notion that they were superb.  Her looks were almost ertraneous.  They weren't any more important to her appeal than a glass was to wine.  It was at it's best when invisible and showing the spirit contained within.  Beyond mere physical presence, I could sense the nature of the woman-strength of will, intelligence, blended with a sardonic wit and edged with a lazy, sensuous hunger.
