DF Spoilers / Mab is Morgana le Fey. Discuss.
« on: April 10, 2025, 05:43:26 PM »
Morgana's Athame mentioned so prominently in the early books, connection to OG Merlin. Fit's with Arthurian Fae Lore.

Makes sense.

I think mines South East Asia. We've had a few hints. Jade Court, Rakshasa, The Temples, Cristos/La Fortier's faction, Shiro.

I think the concept groundwork or atleast a solid foundation is there.

There's also enough chaos in the region for Supernatural Cover.

I wouldn't mind as an Aussie seeing Australia. My Theory is there's powerful wild nature spirits, that occaisionally cause forest fires, or storms and flash floods, but that other Supernaturals come to Australia to escape the Old World Supernaturals and Fae.

I even had a concept of Kincaid and Ivy settling in Australia because statistically it's one of the safest or best rated countries to live in and is out of the jurisdiction of most Supernaturals.

What's your favourite conversations in the series?

Mine's tied Michael and Maggie in Skin Game.

"So Arrogant!"- Makes me smile every time.

"Are you mad at me?"
"Do you want to be my Dad?"- Hit's me right in the feels every time.

DF Spoilers / Favourite Head Canons?
« on: October 03, 2024, 04:00:06 AM »
What are your favourite head canons of your own making?

I have a few favourite head canons.

Joan of Arc and Gilles de Rais were the last time a Knight of the Cross and Winter Knight worked together.

Winter was involved in the Cold War teaching each side how to do spy games without actually going to war directly.

Anduriel whispered to Nicodemus:

He thinks he knows Faith.

After Michaels plea for redemption during Skin Game. Triggering Nicodemus's maniacal laughter and response.

It's what Denarians do whisper lies at exact moments to push people over the edge.



Share, discuss.

DFRPG / Character Refresh and Stats?
« on: September 16, 2024, 04:33:54 AM »
So I don't have any games running. Wish I did but it's hard to find people who have read the books and want to do the RPG in my area. If I were to do a game though. It would be Dresden Files Indiana Jones. Basically a dungeon crawl of ancient sites, tombs and civilisations.

Egypt obviously, but also.

Vatican Archives or British Museum.

Mummy's in Peru from a subfaction of the Red Court one of those elder gods they took over which could tie into the South American section of Paranet Papers.

Maybe some artifacts that escaped Hades Vault when Harry broke in.

The Terracotta Army.

The Hanging Gardens in Ancient Babylon.

A character has been bouncing around in my mind for years.

William Fitz The Dragon Knight

A sponsored night of Y Ddraig Goch. The Welsh Dragon. A greater Dragon scion who theirs various lore on and maybe was even a co sponsor of King Arthur.

Question is how would you Stat and Refresh such a character?

The Power Gamer in me wants to make him atleast Winter Knight level or maybe just below it. Fire and Earth instead of Air and Ice. Oh and instead of a staff he has a magic Cutlass.

I'd like to make him from an immortal or longevity species. White council probably wouldn't work cause in my head he was a Pirate in the early 1700s, Fought in the French and Indian Wars, Seven Years War, Revolution (Loyalist) French Revolution, Crimea, American Civil War, Frontier, Steampunk Victorian arc, WW1, Prohibition, WW2, Vietnam/Civil Rights Movement and early 9/11 response.

He wouldn't have risen farther than the rank of Captain. Colonel at most.

I have another idea of him having Seven Sons born throughout the 20th century but want to focus on this one primary character for now.

Maybe he's a scion himself of Y Ddraig Goch?

I've got other characters in mind as I said. A White Court Spymaster whose been around since the French Revolution and who helped orchestrate the downfall of the Black Court. Archenemy of The Dragon Knight perhaps but now forced to work together.

I'd like Jack Frost and Peter Pan as Princeling of Winter and Summer Courts to make an appearance. I have those characters more or less down though.

Anyway help refreshing or statting such a character would be appreciated.

So hopefully we'll get it sometime this year.

DF Spoilers / Warden Survival Rate and Current Strength?
« on: July 31, 2024, 12:41:16 PM »
There was the Brute Squad at Archangel. Red Court War and the counter attack in Dead Beat saw almost 200 wardens dead let's assume 200 wardens dead throughout the war atleast. Carlos, Yoshimo, Chandler, Wild Bill represented the elite of what was left to be given the tasks of guarding Senior Council at the Peace Talks 3 of the 4 killed or missing in action.

La Fortier and Cristos have about a third of the white council in their faction. 500 appeared at Morgans trial. Assuming some didn't come or couldn't fit that puts White Council numbers at 1500 to 2000 range.

That's about 10 percent of wizards were wardens.

What are the Warden numbers at now? less than 50?

DF Spoilers / Justine DuMorne is Kemmler (Theory)
« on: December 09, 2023, 07:41:16 AM »
Alright so this is my WAG.

I think Kemmler did a body switch into DuMorne at his final showdown.

It would explain how he knew where to pick up Bob from.

Also Kemmler is known to have loyal fanatical followers. Just like he tried to do with Elaine and Harry.

It also fits with Elaine being the leading contender for Kumori. Having been mind wammied enough to have a predilection towards Necromancy vs her good intensions.

It would fit with Jim's cryptic answers about Justine and Kemmler being equally dead:

WOJ: Okay, I just wanna say I finished reading Proven Guilty  just a while ago and I have a real quick question before the serious interview:  "Justin's behind everything, isn't he?"
Justin's dead...look, look...he's dead, he's dead.
Dead, dead?
Jim:  He's dead!
Very dead?
Jim:  D-E-D dead.
Are you ever gonna change your answer, dead?
Jim:  Dead.
2010 Bitten by Books Q&A:
#245 “How dead is Kemmler? About as dead as Justin, maybe?”
Oh, at least that dead.

Cinder Spires Spoilers / Olympian Affair (Spoilers All)
« on: November 07, 2023, 10:27:21 AM »
Don't read further if you haven't read it yet.

So the map at the beginning is one of central and eastern United States with various Spires dotted around.

Cavendish describes modern society as being in destroyed by what appears to be a Nuclear apocalypse which explains the mutated surface world.

But apparently humanity might have been trying to destroy 'The Enemy. Tyranima. 10 000 years ago according to an archangel the Primearch converses with.

So confirmation that it's in a future version of our world.

In terms of pacing it was build up for the first 70% the final 30% felt a bit compacted.

We also learned a lot more about the other Spires. Atlantean's are ruled by Etherialists and are quite colorful. Pikes are semi-nomadic pirates who live on their ships. Olympia have powerful merchant fleet but little military. The Dolasians they're a confederacy or federation of some sort.

Nothing on Kissam or Jerezzi other than where they are on the map.

Finally got a look at a Mistmaw.

We learned what happened to get Grimm drummed out of the fleet. That part was a little disappointing sort of just explained in a page or two of monologue, but the way it was described I think Jim initially wanted to write it as a novella.

Bayard didn't get that tuxedo cat we were promised? Jim just decided not to?

DF Spoilers / Fae Rankings
« on: October 14, 2023, 11:32:19 AM »
Found this rereading Summer Knight.

"And your godmother your teacher and guide is the most vicious creature of Mabs Court more than Maeves equal second in strength only to Mab herself."

So Lea is more powerful than Maeve personally, but someone pointed out Maeve probably has the authority to boss her around.

Which got me thinking about how I'd rank the Fae

1.Mothers.
2.Queens.
3. Kringle, Erlking; Erlking has a Goblin Court, but Kringle would get more mortal worship and recognition.
4. Lea, Eldest Gruff; We hadn't met the above two when Aurora said the above quote, and Auroroa's grain of salt anyway, but neither have their own court or near the level of worship strength of Kringle.
5. Ladies; A note here to say they probably have the authority to boss, the 4's around, but would probably loose in a 1v1 duel. Doubt they could boss the 3s as semi independent Dukedomes.
6. Higher level's of Fae;  Sidhe, Elders, Trolls, Ogre's, Goblins. (Depending on their own rank)
7. Foot soldiers; Some of the same species as above but less elite. Mawks, Trolls, Goblins. Or Molly's recruits.
8. Tribes, Swarmers; Little Folk, Sprites, The Spiders or smaller animal fae.


Lemme know if you agree, disagree would reshuffle or add anything. If we get a consensus on any I'll edit the original post with notes on why and who suggested a change.

DF Spoilers / Florida Supercon?
« on: July 08, 2023, 03:49:57 PM »
Anyone who went? or filmed it? Any new WOJs?

Reddit update had this:
"I don't know if it's new, but while talking about the Fae, he did tell us that there were 2 remaining Titans. One was Ethniu, the other was Hecate, who split herself or her powers into parts which became the Mantles of the Faerie Courts(Queens and Knights) Also, Jim was stumped when asked what would happen if Harry brought a Denarian coin to Demonreach and asked him to imprison it. Said he'd have to give it serious thought and maybe we'd find out when the Denarians came around again(Book 20) Also, no further details, but direct quote "Karrin Murphy's story isn't over yet."

The one where Jim says Marcone picked up Namshiels coin before they left the island?

I think there was something about wagner or valkyries still playing?
