Hello so for my first story arch in a game I'm planning on having the group deal with a pack of Lycanthropes causing problems in Boston. The Leader and his lieutenants are going to be smarter than most so it's not going to be a pure combat plot. The PCs are at chest deep and here are the basics of them:

A champion of God ex supernatural killer for the yakuza
A Kinetomancer Apprentice Ex-con artist
A troll Changeling
An emissary of the Archive, essentially a hereditary kincad that reawakened a rejected family power and responsibility.
A Master Mechanic Mortal
A black sheep White Court Vampire of house skavis that breaks up human trafficking rings and eats the victims despair to try and help them heal.

I'm thinking the Lycanthrope Gang is Run by a one armed gent who calls himself Garm. He's brighter and more methodical than most of his ilk and will be stated as submerged.

I'm thinking 3 Chest deep Lieutenants running varies operations, Protection, Chop chop, Smuggling, etc.

Maybe a dozen generic punching bags and one or two feet in the waters with potential.

Does this sound decent? This isn't something I want wrapped up in one or two sessions and even after the main trouble is solved if they prove effective foils I'll keep them around. The party will probably never meet all of these guys at once either. Just need some input. Maybe some good  ideas for the LTs.

So I'm attempting to convert fate for the Battlestar Galactica universe and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this? I honestly have no idea where to start other than reading over Dresden and Diaspora obsesivly to make sure I have the rules and differences understood first.

Sorry if this is off topic but Evil Hat doesn't seem to have their own forum.

So after a considerable amount of schedules conflicts I'm finally starting a face to face game this Saturday. Of the four players three have never RPed before and the last hasn't since DnD in the 80s. I've given the three complete newbies a brief rundown of character creation and templetes which they seemed to understand and while none of them settled on a character I think they're leaning towards a Wizard, a Changling, and a Champion of god.

Does anyone have any advice on how to smooth over the process of teaching them and getting the characters and city made? Any player aids floating around the internet I can print out for them?

Hello. One of my friends as tried making an acccount for this site but never got an activation email. After a while I tried to mak one for him and had the same problem. does anyone know why this is or how to fix it?

Hello. I’m finally getting a Dresden game off the ground and I’d like a little help for an introductory adventure as I’m a new GM. The game is Waist deep and set in the pregen Baltimore and the characters are as follows, a True believer that works directly under Sister Ann and has the high concept “Modern day Paladin”, a house cat that can turn human that works as an information broker of sorts and has the high concept “Feline Casanova”, a Stage magician that accidently attracted a native American based fire spirit to himself and has the high concept “Reluctant Emissary”. There’s also a magic user of some sort that hasn’t been written up yet and possibly a White Court Virgin psychologist working for house Raith to gain a foothold against the White Court in the area.

I was thinking of having them deal with a rogue Black Court or a mortal gang war that would lead into something bigger but I’m not sure on the best way to do any of that.

So I'm joining a PBP game and one of the character ideas I'm toying with is a changeling (elf) bodyguard. I had this idea for a stunt called either "nooooo" or "get down" with which the character can replace another character in the same zones defense roll with his own, the idea being that he's pushing them out of the way or parrying a blow for them. Is this balanced? And does anyone have ideas for other stunts that fit the concept?

So I just finished reading "Your Story" and at one point during it Bob mentions that the barrier between the Nevernever and our world is thin in Las Vegas. I was wondering what the possible reasons for that would be? Is it because it's a tourist town? Because it's "Sin City"? It just sounds good? I ask because if I run a game it's going to be set in NJ and with Atlantic City as a possible location I'd like to know if this is an avenue worth pursuing. (I know my game, my rules but I like reasoning to be internally consistant.)
