Two things of DFRPG interest in the kickstarter:
Magic system toolkit: In one of our earlier incarnations of the Fate system, Evil Hat co-founder Rob Donoghue lost his damn mind and included a chapter of over half a dozen different magic systems for use with the game. With this stretch goal, Rob will create a new supplement doing exactly that for Fate Core to be added to our EXPANSIONS package for our backers.

- This has me wondering if a bare bones DFRPG magic system will be included in the toolkit.

Fight Fire: Fight Fire expands Fate Core's handling of objective hazards, answering the common question "the warehouse has the On Fire aspect... now what?" Not only is this answered -- literally -- but it is enhanced and expanded in the form of a mini supplement that tackles both the day-to-day operations of urban firefighters (using tactics cribbed directly from the FDNY) and their lives off the clock.

- a book that covers "the building was burning and it wasn't my fault" situations.  It (along with the rest of FATE Core) looks to be easily adaptable to the DFRPG.


Another interesting goal is:
White Picket Witches - the author is drawing on "Practical Magic, Murder She Wrote, Witches of Eastwick and, say, Fried Green Tomatoes" for a game expansion that is based around witches in suburbia.


Not funded yet - but this is still only day 2 - is:
Extras Toolbox [LOCKED]: We'll take the Magic System Toolkit and absorb it as one chapter -- then go beyond the field of magic, doubling (or maybe even tripling) the word-count, to create the Extras Toolbox, a series of collections-of-extras that will illustrate in greater depth how to construct full add-on options for your game. Each collection will be viable as a plug-and-play addition to your game, if it turns out to be a fit. We'll look into exploring ways to implement powers, vehicles, gear, and more, with a few system-tweaks and variants for extra spice.
- if they get enough backers this book will be printed and available for $15-$20 (they haven't decided yet) + shipping ($5 for US, $10 for the rest of the world.).


And if you don't want to back the project you can still get a copy of the PDF for whatever price you are willing to pay:

Wait, how do I get the final PDF? It's not listed on any of the pledge levels?

The final version of the PDF will be made available to the whole world on a "pay what you like, including nothing" scheme. So backers will be able to download the final version themselves at no cost -- and with a clear conscience!

Getting back on topic: I'm wondering if we should look at adding a sub board for DFRPG/FATE 3.0 hacks?

Then again, the RAW says to use templates.

You might find the thread at http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,30354.msg1288932.html#msg1288932 interesting.

This looks like an interesting Template.

Somehow, when I picture costumed vigilantes in the DV I start thinking of a minor character from Simon R Green's Nightside series - Ms. Fate, the Nightside's own transvestite superhero.

Off the wall heroes like that one and flawed, Punisher types seem more appropriate for the DV than Captain America and other "justice always triumphs" type heroes.

Steven Brust had a great exchange in one his novels.  The "hero" was being questioned under a magical device that could detect lies. 

To quote:
I was asked things like, "When did you last see him alive?" and I'd say, "Oh, I don't know; he was always pretty dead," and they'd rebuke me sternly. They asked my opinion as to who killed him and I said that I believed he had killed himself. The Orb showed that I was telling the truth, and I was; messing with me the way he'd been doing was like asking to die.

Working out how to use Greater Glamours. Is playing a pure Fae possible. And if so what would be some balanced stats.

I was looking at the Catch +2 cold iron / inhuman recovery/toughness -2 to show the fae side or in lower powerd games use wizard constitution with the catch +1
Then use Aspects for the no lie. Any ideas or help or even if this has been posted before would help thanks.

Playing a Pure Fae is possible using house rules - as long as the table signs on to it.

The "no lies" bit would be an element of the high concept - just as speaking Russian was Toot-Toot part of his high concept. 

If you up the recovery/toughness over inhuman increasing the catch would be justified - iron is fairly common and well known.  Just as long as the catch is under the cost of the power (all recovery/toughness powers cost a minimum of 1).
Wizard's Constitution doesn't get a catch.

As for the type of Fae - pick something from folklore and try to recreate it.

Max out your Deceit  for Greater Glamor.  Sure you can use Discipline, but Deceit is very useful for a Fae.  If you're going to play one of the Shide then think of taking  "Deceives with the truth" (or something like that) as an Aspect.
Since Shide PCs can't lie, practice giving misleading answers.
Example:
Q) Did you kidnap Tom Bower?
A) Tom Bower is a great man and the world needs more men like him.  He's a loving father, a pillar of the community, and if he's in trouble then someone had better rescue him.  In fact, tell me where he is and I'll lead the rescue mission myself.

Notice that the question wasn't answered? The answer could be "No" or "Yeah, he's in the trunk of my car" and either could be true because nothing in the A) bit actually answered the question.

There will be times when your PC will be forced to give a truthful answer.  Even if he's not a Shide and can lie, when asked the third time all Fae have to give the correct answer.  When you're forced to tell the truth, remember to point out that you're being compelled and ask for a FATE chip.

And again, make sure that the table is on side before playing a True Fae.

Not really. Thomas does seem to have a whole bunch of sisters running around (at least three for sure in Turn Coat, likely that much of the rest of Lara's entourage in the climax is likewise), and we have an explanation for the lack of brothers: Lord Raith kills them.

From Blood Rites there's the impression that there was never hundreds of children, which would means less than one a year for Lord Raith.  As for sisters, five of them were around their father's throne in White Night.  I think that was a show of family support - so all of them should have been there.

Not everything in Your Story and Our World is a rule, you know. Both books are full of stories and setting bits.

We differ on that.  I believe that when the rule book explicitly says something then it's in the rules - but you differ.  And I don't think another huge exchange of posts on that issue will change anyone's opinions.

But if you want a cite:
Monsters have Nature, Mortals have Choice - that's a good place to start.
