DF Books / Art book and Dresden Files companion volume

« on: July 14, 2020, 06:45:32 PM »

Hello all. I resume posting after a years-long absence. Today's release of Peace Talks brought me out of the Never-Never.

I have long thought that it was time for this series to get its own art book. The art in the "Dresden Drops" shows the sheer variety and amount of visual art that exists. I would personally buy the hell out of a big coffee-table "Art of the Dresden Files" book.

This could also be a good time for a companion volume and series guide. I know that the Our World book for the Dresden Files RPG sort of does that, but of necessity it is focused on being part of a role-playing game. I'm thinking of a more general interest book, like "The World of Ice and Fire" for the ASoiaF books. That book is written as an in-universe document just as the DFRPG was. That could be a good narrative approach. On the other hand, it may be too soon for a companion volume with the series being unfinished.

Thoughts? Also, I haven't been on this forum in a long time, so apologies if this has already been discussed to death.

DFRPG / Dresden Dice

« on: September 27, 2010, 01:50:18 PM »

Here's an interesting tidbit from Grey Ghost Games:

Quote

Even better news: Grey Ghost Games and Evil Hat will be releasing new specialty Fudge dice later this year! Watch for "Olympic Pearlized" Fudge dice in Gold, Silver, and Bronze from Grey Ghost Games, and for "Dresden Dice" from Evil Hat! This is due to a new mold I invested in to expand the color and materials selections for Fudge dice. Expect even more "specialty" Fudge dice in the future!

Mark me down for at least a few sets! Any chance of some Dresden Fate tokens as well?

DFRPG / DFRPG t-shirts? And a tie?

« on: July 19, 2010, 12:23:33 PM »

I was looking at some pictures taken at last week's Dresdacon and the Endgame store in Oakland, and I noticed several people wearing rather snazzy Dresden Files RPG attire. I counted three different t-shirts and a really nice tie (featuring Murphy from the cover of Your Story.

Are these one-off items, or will they be available for sale?

DFRPG / What would you put in a GM's screen?

« on: June 28, 2010, 05:43:55 PM »

I am the proud owner of a Masterscreen Quad (not made anymore, unfortunately), and I intend to make up some inserts for the Dresden files RPG. My question to you all is this: if you were designing a four-panel GM screen for the Dresden Files RPG, what would you put on it?

I know the FATE ladder will be there, but otherwise I'm open to suggestions.

DFRPG / Typo thread

« on: April 04, 2010, 06:42:09 PM »

I've found one minor typo so far:

YS8, col.2, para.4 - "You also act a referee...". Shouldn't there be an 'as' in there?

I will post any more errors I find to this thread. Fred, if you already have a protocol and/or venue set up for this, reply here and I will use it instead.

DFRPG / Another broken release date

« on: April 01, 2010, 09:50:40 PM »

I stopped by my local game store today to pick up some Magic boosters. As I walked by the roleplaying display, something caught my eye and I almost tripped. They had ten copies of the Dresden Files RPG out on the shelf! I debated telling the owner that the release date is still over two months away, but I couldn't resist. I bought both volumes.

Let me assure everyone that the game is GORGEOUS! What a fantastic read for the Easter weekend. I hope Iago and the other designers won't be mad about this...

DFRPG / DFRPG featured in Previews

« on: March 31, 2010, 07:10:54 PM »

I picked up my copy of Previews at the local comic shop today. When I got to the games section, I saw that the Dresden Files RPG is one of the "Featured Items". It got a spot on page 419 with 5 other products, and a full column box on page 422. It's also shown here on the Previews website. That's great publicity!

DFRPG / Magical Theory

« on: January 24, 2010, 04:55:53 PM »

Throughout the novels, Harry has given us a lot of info about how magic works (or how he perceives it to work). Is this info collected together somewhere in the game?

DFRPG / Typotesting round?

« on: November 06, 2008, 01:45:35 PM »

I haven't applied to be a playtester thus far for two reasons: 1. I don't have any play experience with FATE, and 2. I don't have a gaming group right now. However, I want to contribute!

One thing I'm really good at is spotting typos. So I was wondering if there will be a late-development round of typo spotting or the like. If so, I volunteer my services.

DFRPG / System confusion

« on: May 30, 2008, 11:37:48 AM »

I am really, really looking forward to this game. However, I'm a FUDGE/FATE newbie (the only FUDGE product I own is "The Collectors"). I understand that FATE is an adaptation of FUDGE. But will I need separate FUDGE rules to play, or is the Dresden Files RPG a complete game in itself? In other words, when I buy Dresden, will I also need to buy the FUDGE basic rulebook from Grey Ghost?

DFRPG / Real world events with Dresdenverse explanations

« on: April 25, 2008, 05:35:18 PM »

I've started this thread on the RPG board because it seemed to be the closest fit...

I frequently run across rather Fortean stories in the news. Here's a current example, about a cyclone made of bees: http://www.local6.com/news/15982205/detail.html.

I'm sure this event has a perfectly reasonable explanation...that is utterly boring. So let's ignore reality and think Dresden.

Who or what could create a cyclone-shaped swarm of bees, and why did they need to conjure one at Mexican restaurant in Orlando?

Anyone have an idea? Alternatively, do you have another weird story to post?
