DF Spoilers / MTG and DF Characters
« on: May 09, 2022, 11:11:08 AM »
I read somewhere that JB has the characters of the DF set up as DnD characters, with character sheets and such.
Wizards of the Coast (Owners of DnD) also owns Magic the Gathering
For those of us who play magic, who do you think would be which colours and why?
For example, Bob might be blue/red, due to his faster paced nature

DF Spoilers / A Stretch Connection
« on: April 19, 2022, 11:10:51 AM »
So, back in 2014-2015, there was a series on YouTube called Mianite. It was a minecraft roleplay show that dealt with gods and such, but the main takeaway here is the gods. There were three deities, one for good [Mianite], one for bad [Dianite], and one for balance [Ianite].
In the Dresden Files, we definitely see two sides to the plays of power, though its not as black/white as good/bad. What I want to know is who would you consider to be the ones in that third section, balance.

To start, I'd say Ivy, even if she has fought for good every time she has fought, it was to help balance the scale. In Harry and the vampire's standoff, she acted as the mediator.
Who else fits in this third group?

DF Spoilers / Re: Should Jim skip to the BAT?

That is a very good point; the "current" rate was the byproduct of many things stacking against Jim. I feel like some of us forget that he is a person too, with a life and such, and sometimes life gets the best of us. Regardless, I'll be here til the end

DF Spoilers / Re: Mouse & the Castle
« on: April 08, 2022, 11:17:19 AM »
The way I see/imagine it, Thresholds are more than the magical aspect. Mouse had people to protect, and in the house of these people, every memory and life event from many many lives (The Carpenters Kids growing up) all power the Threshold, which in turn supercharge Mouse. I would also imagine that, with enough juice, Mouse could probably bend the rules a little about what should and shouldn't work - like with Lea, I bet if Mouse bit her, it would act like a dog biting a regular human, no fast healing, no fae magic to help.

I agree to an extent; the BAT should come sooner rather than later, especially at the current rate. Mirror Mirro and Twelve Months both feel like they need to happen, and maybe one more to keep things on the proper track (Peace Talks is book 17, and there were originally supposed to be 20+the BAT, instead of 22-23+BAT. That, plus the whole thing with Nick coming in every 5 books, and if I remember correctly, part of what Nick does in the supposed book 20 helps kickstart the BAT). So, 6 more books in total, including the BAT.

DF Spoilers / Re: How did you find The Dresden Files?
« on: March 22, 2022, 11:18:41 AM »
One Christmas a few years ago, my great aunt gave me a big old box of books. Among them were the Dresden Files 5-9. I brought Death Masks with me on vacation, and when I got back, my mother told me the house had burned down. I then went on to find out more about the series, due to the heartbreak of lost books, and found a file-sharing site that I could get PDFs of the books from. (I have hence purchased copies, now that I have a job, but I was broke and young at the time). Since then, i've read them a few times, and they inspired me to write and publish my own story.

DF Spoilers / Re: Coins and Choices
« on: March 22, 2022, 11:15:05 AM »
I personally don't think Merlin would have hidden them away- but I also wouldn't put it past him.
If he had and used the artifacts, he knows just how powerful they can be. I imagine that Nic may have the smarts to use them, else he wouldn't search for them. Therefore, locking them up may be smart, as Merlin knew he wouldn't be around forever.

DF Spoilers / Coins and Choices
« on: March 18, 2022, 11:14:18 AM »
I have a couple things that I have been thinking about regarding the Coins.

1- If Harry were to pick up a new coin, which do you think it'd be and why?
2- What would happen if someone took up multiple coins? Would the Fallen deck it out for who gets to be the main one in the holder's head?
3- I don't know if it's been said how durable the coins are. I don't imagine they're indestructible, so what would happen to the Fallen if the coin were destroyed? Alternatively, if the coins are instead highly durable, what non-conventional uses could they serve? I was thinking a magical bullet of sorts; Harry and his kinetic energy storing and such could release it on the coin, with no need for gunpowder or fancy bullets.

DF Spoilers / Titles Similar To TDF
« on: January 20, 2022, 07:11:32 PM »
My friend wrote a book (TFFOE on Amazon) that has a similar feel as TDF, and I was wondering if anyone had any other books that follow the feel of Dresden's life?

DF Spoilers / Re: What Should Butters Ask For?
« on: December 17, 2021, 01:06:37 PM »
I like the idea of Butters getting Bob pardoned.
However, may I propose; Butters asking for a mantle of some kind.
This is very far-fetched, and likely won't happen, but Butters sees his friends and family getting hurt, even with Harry's help. While Harry was bucket-kicked, Butters had taken over as the town's magical vigilante, with the help of Bob, of course. So, what better way to help than to get more power?

Obviously not going to happen, as Butters is far too smart to take anything tying him to Mab or Winter
But imagine Butters with proper Power, and the knowledge and common sense to use it.

Oh yeah, plus the lightsaber-sword

DF Spoilers / Re: Mother Winter Blackstaff Back
« on: October 06, 2021, 11:14:24 AM »
I imagine so, but that may be a tad extreme for right now - an 'impossible' task (even if Harry would likely find a way). There's no use throwing out a perfectly good Knight by asking such a power-balance-changing task.

DF Spoilers / The Mark Of Cain
« on: September 28, 2021, 12:22:23 PM »
Since we have seen other biblical ideas and themes, how would you imagine the Mark of Cain in the Dresden Files?

Context: The Mark of Cain was a blessing/curse bestowed upon Cain by God to prevent premature death - any damage done to Cain by someone else would come back to them sevenfold

DF Spoilers / Re: What will Eb do?
« on: August 03, 2021, 05:17:10 AM »
I think a civil war of sorts may happen - Gray Council vs Black Council style. People choosing between profession and relationships. Perhaps Eb would lead one side, and The Merlin leads the other, with a few folk staying out of the conflict (like the gatekeeper)

DF Spoilers / Re: Did the FBI Agent's soulgaze look into the future?
« on: July 25, 2021, 09:48:16 AM »
I wish I could say we are looking into things too much, and that it's just Harry's affinity with fire - but that's not very like Butcher's style. It could be something similar to what Harry saw in Molly, though - paths, choices, maybe a Harry in white knightly armor, a gray Harry as he is then and there, and a Dark Harry with the goatee in all, shrouded in flames. Jim did say that Harry was on a darker path, after all.

DF Spoilers / Mister and Battle Grounds
« on: May 21, 2021, 01:33:28 PM »
So, after that whole supernatural battle, where is Mister? At the end of the book, Harry refers to him, Maggie, and Mouse as his little family, and I noticed Mister wasn't there. With Murphy how she is, I doubt Harry would leave him at her place. Now, I could very well be missing something, but I'm just worried about the old cat.
