I think a Dresden Files themed MUSH could turn into something great if spread around the forum. I'd certainly enjoy it.

Didn't notice there were so many writers on this board hehe. I feel pretty lazy right now as I haven't been able to touch my WIP for weeks...

DF Reference Collection / Re: [GS Spoilers] The truth about Fitz (seriously, it's spoilerific) (fresh from DC)
« on: September 13, 2011, 02:55:12 PM »
Didn't Jim state that Fitz was meant to be a one time character? Of course so was Butters so things can change, but all this speculation seems to revolve around him being an important character when I'm almost certain Jim states he was not.

Just stumbled upon this, seems like a good idea but... Why would there enemies ever attack them? If I personally wanted to kill a Stoicist I would lay in wait until I knew the one shot, stab, etc. I had would kill them. Otherwise your just making them more powerful.

Author Craft / Writing forums?

Just curious if there are any other "writing" centric forums you like to visit? Can't help to have other places to gather advice. Cheers.

Thank you all for the great advice. The Coven idea sounds very very intriguing but I'm not so sure how well that would go over hehe. Also I'm not really focusing on one type of magic (magick) per say but touching on "everything" generally. Rune Magic is very very cool though. My main focus is more on Demons/Demonology at least for this novel.

Author Craft / Re: To Make my Hero Supernatural or Not? O.o
« on: April 25, 2011, 08:05:18 PM »One of the things I dislike most is mystic "powers" that are given way, way, way deep buried in the work.
Present the possibility up front or don't do it at all.
I agree 100% it just seems to well cliche...to a point anyways. I feel like I've found a good way to incorporate it into my work though.

Thanks everyone. Wikipedia did seem to slip my mind lol. Now that you mention it though I do think I have seen some Wicca, Paganism, and other types of "magic" books in some local stores. I may get a few weird looks for having them but it's purely for resource material on my part 
. (Not that there's anything wrong with people that practice said things.) Anyways again thanks everyone. I would still really love to hear of any specific books if there is anyone out there that knows of any, just makes it easier to find them on my part heh.

I'm liking the "Normal" route that I'm taking with my current protagonist. Completely regular guy that manages to get the wool lifted from his eyes and is awakened to seeing what other everyday people just don't. (It's a bit more complex than that but I'd rather not bore you with the details.) Makes for some very interesting situations.

In my free time I love to Read/Write as I'm sure almost everyone else here does aswell. I really like to have a sort of "backbone" or a solid realistic basis for my ideas and creatures or what have you that I put into my stories. That being said I love to read mythology and legends because to me that is my solid "realistic" basis for the contents of my stories. (I do change them to make them my own though of course.) Anyways I was wondering if anyone else does this and well where do you find your information? Can you recommend any books or other sources? I'm beginning to put Magic into my stories or at least a form of it but I'm not sure where to start the search for a solid basis of semi-realistic information on the subject. Thanks. Heres hoping that I worded my request correctly. Cheers.

Not bad, interesting and descriptive 
. I do have to ask though, whats with the wolf lovers on these forums? I'm not dissing it, just seems to be a lot of people here that like them.

I see that makes me even more interested..what would be some helpful tips on how to get started with the game period? As in which book or books would I need to have? (sounds like a great christmas gift to myself lol, especially if the books are full of Dresdenverse lore.)

After becoming absolutely enthralled with The Dresden Files this rpg seems like a really fun hobby. Though where I live I seriously doubt I'd find people ot play with easily. Just wondering if there were any groups of people that do this sort of thing across the net?
