Our setting for this game with the spirit(s) of the City is modern day London, and I was having a lot of trouble putting together something that was coherent and tied in - but you guys gave me some great ideas and I think I finally have a good High Concept and Trouble:

High Concept: London Knight
Trouble: Too many Spirits, not enough Emissaries



Think that should keep things busy eh? Once I get this all tied up I'll post the character you guys helped me come up with. I'll also post some of the ideas for spirits of the City that our group have come up with in some brainstorming today.

I have to say, BTW, Google Wave has been a total gem in the early going with City & Character Creation phases; can't wait to see how it runs once the game gets going.

Thanks for the ideas and suggestions guys.

One of the things I'm struggling to crystallize is that "city demi-god" vs "many neighbourhoods", and "conscious spirit with ambition & goals" vs "primal consciousness". Any of those are great, its trying to sort out what best fits the spirit of the Dresdenverse that's difficult for me - and of course what provides maximum story possibility (ie. compels compels compels!)

This is for a setting of modern day London btw, if that helps generate any more thoughts and ideas.

I still think it would be hilarious to run Vancouver using the Vancouver Method.

Well, I'm from Vancouver so I think its funny they named the method after my hometown, but true enough, I work for an gov't org and appreciate the impact is has on our visibility & economy. Always fun to point out the local landmarks in the background!

I'm also in North Van, and I may be interested as well depending on the location and times? Shoot me a pm please?

No location set yet, we're kind of hoping to keep things central, and its tentatively scheduled for Sunday afternoons, once every two weeks.

We're currently hoping for a GM to step up; if no one does I will, but I'd need some time to learn the rules better.

I map out relationships. Kinda like a flowchart, but not - just to keep relationships in view, it helps you remember the ripple effect of what someone's actions might create. Thick lines for strong relationships, thinner for relationships that are less so.

It also helps to keep the 'players' in view - not the PCs, but the movers & shakers.

Am always happy to hear "if you liked X, try Y" suggestions - thanx for the info. Will see if Kate Griffin's in the library and check it out...

Trying to gauge interest in forming a group to take on the DFRPG in Vancouver / GVRD / Lower Mainland (That's Vancouver BC, not Vancouver WA!)

I'm in the Tri-cities area but have car and can travel. Personally, my schedule is once every two weeks preferably on Sat night or Sun afternoon - but think it would be really neat if we filled in play in between with an online component.

I'm not a FATE expert but the DFRPG has convinced me to make the leap. Happy to GM/volunteer as long as the group is patient, but that's probably a bridge we'll cross when and if we get to it. Age disclaimer: I'm a "mature" gamer (mid 30's) but am young at heart

Looking forward to connecting with some local fans and Dresdenauts!
