« on: December 30, 2017, 10:33:04 PM »Out of curiosity, please let me know if it gets more or less "fairly readable" beyond Torch Light.
I'd say the Dalca series is dark, and the Mirrorverse isn't very light. But is the Hayes series "dark"? I didn't think it was, at least any more so than Dresden.
No the Hayes aren't that dark. The Dalca ones though are, and since they seem interconnected...

As for Amy...
Cool. I do hope you get the time to do more writing.
Well, we finished the campaign she came from. The GM had his fun throughout the campaign to torture her with various visions. My chronicle from it ended up being 100 pages long. And now we are playing a campaign in Mage: the Acension set in the same city as our Dresden campaign (Boston), and the gm there is pulling things from the Dresden-campign and making them much darker. Will be interesting to see what he puts her through. And I put a version of her in my superhero-campaign. There she is a nice person who might end up helping one of the villains.

« on: December 18, 2017, 10:11:38 PM »Also: Griffin wrote something nice and fairly readable. It's set in Dresdenverse, but it doesn't touch many original characters too deeply:
https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7102335/griffyn612 I've only read Torch Light 1for now, but it looks like I'm going to read the next one as well
He does some interesting stuff, though some of it is quite dark, and that is not everyones cup of tea. I contributed one character for one of the books (Hell Bent).

Maybe she will BE the Kaiju?

Jim is just relating the story of Harry, and Harry complains more about how Jim isn't keeping it secret.
So who would be Jim Butcher's alter ego in the series... Bob? Mister?

« on: October 27, 2017, 08:23:35 PM »
I think Mouse definitively can hurt Anduriel, and I think Anduriel realizes that Mouse cheats, and is much more powerful than he should be. Or that when he is protecting someone, then there will be no limits on how much power Mouse can draw upon if it is righteous. Sort of like an inverse of the Swords.

Well, I know one guy who hosts a forum that started as a rpg-forum and then developed to its own community. No idea if he would want to host it or what he charges. I do know even though there are a number of fans of the Dresden files series at that forum, I think the tone there would be a bit rough compared to here. But then, that happens when you have the same people arguing with each others about everything (including lots of touchy topics) for almost 20 years.
That forum is called Criticalfumble.net

« on: October 10, 2017, 05:10:49 PM »I just do not see Marcone being a knight. He may play a critical role, but part of who Marcone is -- is a crime boss. I cannot image a crime boss being a knight of the cross.
Hmm Mirror-Mirror Gard might be someone that Harry should be VERY wary of... The Choosers of the dead were not exactly nice.

« on: September 16, 2017, 05:50:56 PM »The one about angels being absolute was recent. I can't place the source right now - it was older than DragonCon, but I think it was one of the Q&A's this year or late last.
Would you happen to remember where the TWG as a mantle that may have changed hands was from? I had some vague memories of a comment like TWG is the eternal creator of the universe, but wasn't always. I've been trying to find that one again for a while to confirm what exactly was said, but I haven't been able to find it. Somebody else remembering something along those general lines makes me wonder if maybe the Fall was precipitated by the creator mantle changing hands and some of the angels resenting the change in management.
I think I vaguely recall the WoJ you refer to and it was someting to the effect that TWG could be seen as a mantle, and that we woould not know if said being were the original one holding that position. Where is Serack when we need him for a proper quote?

« on: September 09, 2017, 05:20:21 PM »Fourth, backlash and fallout. Rituals explode when they fail, often with catastrophic results. Projects can go terribly wrong, but I don't think flubbing one management roll should cause a catastrophe the way it does with a ritual. Also, anywhere where a ritual would hit the caster with mental or physical stress a project should probably hit the manager with social stress.
Well, a project can turn easily disastrous. For example say you organize a protest rally to do something, and some hothead escalates things into physical violence or do something tremendeously bad, and you know you were responsible for giving the person the opportunity to do it.
