Has anybody mentioned The Ninth Gate? Antique books with a ritual encoded in a series of wood-block prints. Great game fodder.
I'm thinking of making a character with a magical gauntlet like in Witchblade. It wouldn't necessarily have to be exactly the same, I just need a good base to start from.
I'd say Emmisary of Power with an Item of Power (It's a Gauntlet; Unbreakable; Has Own Agenda; Inhuman Strength)
I'd like it to have a directional shield effect as well, kind of like Harry's shield bracelet but I think that is a focus for his magic. Not sure how to do it, maybe Toughness with the Catch being it's directional?
Anyways, any suggestions are appreciated.
That was my thought on it, since humans and ghouls were obviously compatible at one point. It could still hold true, and would also explain how such an entity could keep their consumption of human flesh down to a concealable limit (not a full ghoul, not a full apetite).
As DFJunkie points out, there is no proof ghouls are allergic to holy stuff. I cannot remember any such proof anywhere in the series, though I could be wrong and would welcome page references. And as for studying her...I have. I'd be happy to get into that debate with you, if extended riffs involving religion weren't against the rules of the forum. Suffice it to say that I have come to very different conclusions.
(And as for True Believer, I can argue that, too; read what some of her personal letters, preserved after her death, contain.)
DF Junkie, I was thinking of using her as a mix of Major Power and Antagonist. I liked the crossover between the Catholic Church and the Sabbat in the Old World of Darkness Material, and I was thinking that this could be very fertile ground for a variety of reasons; the emotions, the imagery...my main allies are actually intended to be the poor most mistreated by those in power, the ones who actually need the help and yet never actually receive the resources and money supposedly earmarked for them. 'Prayer of the Refugee' by Rise Against is some of my inspiration there.
I'll second all of UltraTrolls movie suggestions especially if you can find them all. Grim Prairie Tales might be pretty tough to track down, but worth it.
You might also give Ravenous (1999) a try as well, it's a little earlier then the time period you were looking for, but an interesting take on a horror/supernatural western story.
Roy Rogers Files would be awesome.
We rode out to fight the Denarians.
In the wild and windy west.
Their vile howls pierced the darkness
But my six gun spoke the best.
Their four eyes were shot out
Leaving two for their black heart.
I brought them back for the reward.
Their bodies piled high in the horse drawn cart.
Some good ideas here. I certainly would love a GM Screen, FATE dice, and Chips (all customized to the Dresdenverse).
I agree that an "Our World, Volume II" would be neat, but seriously we wouldn't want something like this for several years. I mean, each of Jim's novels will have some new material but the core rulebook covers roughly a dozen books and you wouldn't want too many little 1-2 book addon volumes. (Unless they were short PDF updates.)
Well, if they are not planning to publish more books then "the future of the line" would be entirely in the hands of the fans.
So far I have not been able to locate a Dresden Files FRPG web ring, which would be the next logical step IMHO.
