Hi Folks!!!
       I'm VERY interested in learning how to play the Dresden RPG?  I've never played RPG's before so, I'm looking for suggestions of where to start.  Are they somewhat easy to play?  Would I need any special equiptment?  If so, where do I acquire such things?  Is there a list of books that are needed for the Dresden RPG?  Where are they found?
       Thank you in advance for any & all assistance!  It'll be greatly appreciated!!!  :-)

The Dresden RPG, so far as I know, it not yet in release, so the rules are still unknown (and judging from a few posts on the RPG's homepage, still in a state of flux).

Tabletop RPGs are pretty easy to play.  All you really need is a set of rules of some kind (like a sourcebook, though freeform games are not unheard of), some way of determining randomly if something worked or not (dice; sometimes regular board game dice, called d6, sometimes more exotic dice, like a d8 or a d10), and at least one other player.  One person writes up a scenario, like a short story.  Everyone else develops characters somehow and takes on their roles as they're sitting around the table with the person running the game.  It takes a little getting used to, but it is not very different from a good game of pretend.

You can get six-sided dice/d6 pretty much anywhere.  More exotic dice can be bought at gaming stores and occasionally bookstores (with the RPG books).  Sometimes they are a little expensive, sometimes they are not.

Having read the Dresden Files novels would be a good place to begin, so that you are familiar with the Dresdenverse, some of the major characters, and the sorts of things that happen there.
