Basically, how would Dresden operate if he was born into the world of My Hero Academia?

DF Books / What If the Potterverse Operated in the Dresdenverse?
« on: April 09, 2018, 05:53:27 PM »
I've been thinking about a potential HP/Dresden Files crossover, where the Potterverse follows the conventions of the Dresdenverse. Here are a few of the ideas I've got:
1. The events of the Harry Potter series would chronologically take place before Storm Front.
[1991; Sorcerer's Stone]/[~2000; Storm Front]
2. The (British) Ministry of Magic is not the government; it's the bureaucratic arm of the White Council within England. Following this logic, the Wizengamot becomes the public forum for various bloodlines and hereditary holdings of Britain to discuss their grievances towards the Council.
3. The Techbane is unique to Practitioners of the modern era (~1850-present).
4. Grindelwald was an ambitious apprentice to Kemmler; the only one who could reliably be called his lieutenant.
Following Kemmler's Defeat, Grindelwald was the one who held the opposition together.
The Deathly Hollows are artifacts that belong to a major player (maybe one of the following); Mother Winter, Hades and/or Odin.
What do you guys think? And how should I go about expanding upon this idea?

DF Books / Dresden Meets The Mob Head (Various)
« on: November 15, 2017, 12:54:44 AM »
Let's say that Dresden gets dragged into the underworld of crime and meets one of the following criminals…how would he interact with them, treat them?
Raymond Reddington (The Blacklist), The Pontiac Bandit (Brooklyn 99), Frank Underwood (US House of Cards), etc.

DFRPG / Chronomancy– How To?
« on: July 15, 2017, 06:34:01 PM »
There's a new foe this week, in my friend's game; a Chronomancer Warlock, who'd discovered how to send his memories back to the better part of a day under his own power, more if he used the power of other sources such as storms, leylines, etc.
The problem is is that we need to figure out how to the same thing, (or at least I do, as GM), and send someone back to the past if they are unable to stop the warlock's spell.
How would I do this from a mechanical viewpoint?

DFRPG / The Book of Questions
« on: July 12, 2017, 01:31:29 PM »
I'm DM'ing my friend's game next week and I've had an idea for a lost Artifact* of the Archive:
Essentially, what I want to use is an intellectus book* version of the Archive, though when held by anyone not authorized by the Archive (currently Ivy) it only showcases a single subject to a single user when asked a single question for a period of a single lunar month (28 days), after which it becomes blank.
*Initially wasn't her artifact, but she claimed it and severely limited it potential after becoming aware its existence.
**Actually looks more like a scroll.

DFRPG / Need Guidance: Spider-Man Build
« on: July 09, 2017, 04:25:28 AM »
One of the players of my friend's DFRPG session last night had arrived after having watched the new Spider-Man movie and all he wanted to do was play "Spider-Man". Since we couldn't figure out this week, he agreed to wait until next week, instead playing a "disposable" Uncle Ben character (as a reason for "Pete" to join the quest, after Ben dies).
Now, I had originally thought that he'd need a Mortal Scion build, but he kept insisting on a "pure"*-human build…help please?
*He's fine with a Practioner–>Wizard or Altered Human, but purely human beyond that.

DF Books / The Issue of Pants: Summer Knight
« on: July 05, 2017, 10:32:43 PM »
Hey, I was rereading plus rehearing, Summer Knight (audiobook) and I noticed that in the scene that Harry is speaking with Maeve there's something a bit…odd, let's say. See, I noticed that after he's dumped the ice water on himself to get his libido in check, he /never/ rezips his pants.
Now…how long did it take for him to notice that he forgot about it? Did Billy ever mention it, shortly thereafter, making fun of Harry? Or did nobody notice this fact at all, even when he jumped Aurora? Because if he went like that the entire book, I can't decide whether the facts is that he was either being brave as sh*t, an absolute doofus, somewhat creepy (/if/ his fly was down when when he was killing Aurora), or some combination of the above.
Thoughts?

DFRPG / Help w/ Apprentice Wizard P.I. Build
« on: July 04, 2017, 10:14:09 PM »
I've been invited to play DFRPG at a friends house, and I was wondering if I could have some advice on how to make my new character (John Marcus), who I decided needed to be a young Apprentice Wizard PI (ala Harry when he worked for Nick at Ragged Angel).
Now, I had a rough draft sketched out on my laptop a few days ago but since it crashed a few days ago I haven't had enough time to rebuild it and we're starting our campaign on Friday, so a little help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
