Dresden Files RPG

[yeti100]

Hi guys. I am here to see if anyone has an interest in playing the Dresden Files RPG. I have the core rulebook and the expansions and am a huge fan of the series it's based off of. The system allows for everything from, supernatural style roadtrips, to buffy style scooby gangs and even full-blow professional monster hunters. There are also social and investigative mechanics for those who want a quieter game. If you have interest then let me know. Ideally looking for four player but will be willing to take more or less if everyone is really into it. Setting wise the game allows you to base yourselves anywhere in the world, and setting creation is a collaborative effort. ALternatively if you want me to create the details of the setting I can come up with some good ones. In terms of character creation the sky's the limit. We have had at one point a nordic time traveler, battling with a modern day assassin who for some reason uses a bow and arrow. Zany adventures to be sure but no less fun. Let me know

Target Interest: 4 minimum
Current Interest 5
Maximum 6(can be persuaded for more)

Also given that I'm interested in running a full game i'm considering setting us up on Roll20. It's a tabletop RPG site. It's all text and chat based but it would make playing a Dresden Files game a lot of fun, and still be annonymous. Let me know what you guys think of this

If you're not above soliciting: I'd say try the people who voiced interest in the last Dresden Files RPG that ...attempted?... to go up.

good advice. I'll give it a go

[Crimson Raven]

HA! I love the Dresden files, I own all of the series and his Codex Alera. I would be interested in trying an rp based off of his world. (POLKA WILL NEVER DIE!!!)

[yeti100]

nice to have you Crimson Raven, do you know of any other people that would be interested. Ideally i'd need at least four players. I have one other besides you i could draw in, that leaves two before this could go anywhere.

[yeti100]

Just to update I have sent some messages across to people who were interested in the past. With a bit of luck we'll get one or two more and that will be enough to run the game.

[Obsidian One]

This guy. Right here! Love the Dresden Files. I've read the series multiple times and have run the RPG many times as well. Count me in.

RESERVING A PLACE

[Tearstone]

Hell's bells, I'll throw my lot in, because I am the Burger king, and I don't believe in faries. You can't keep a good dog down, not even with a group of the Denarians, especially with Parkour!

Okay, so.. yeah. I'm down.

I have read all the main books, and some of the side stories, and I have the two core RPG books and a few of the modules/adventures, though I haven't run them. I have some characters that run around in a private RP that could make an appearance.

I've been wanting a good, group based, Dresden Files RP for a long time. Also here's something that might be useful if you guys are interested

Righty guys we have our numbers. Welcome @Blue Demon, @Crimson Raven, @Rook, @Obsidian One, @Tearstone. Now I enjoy Dresden Files enough to run a full campaign. Character and City creation, the works. I have an account over on Roll20 where we can set up. If everyone is ok using this site, completely anonymous and has all the stuff we'll need for keeping track of characters and what's happened in the story, then that's excellent. I'll book a time when we can start brainstorming and character creation. If anyone is worried about using this site then give me a shout and we can sort something else out. Post on here to let me know. My plan is to run a full game every two weeks to a month. I know this is a long time apart, but I want to make sure I have the time to put in every effort I can for you guys. If this is what you're looking for then brilliant again if not send me a message. Until then, remember that magic, it can get a guy killed

[Aqutanama]

I would like to join although I just started a new job. May take some time to get stuff working and such.

[yeti100]

That's fine @Aqutanama I'm in this for the long haul. I suspect it might be a little while before we're all up an ready to play. You're more than welcome though. How do you feel about playing on Roll20?

[Aqutanama]

errg... I dunno. maybe

@yeti100

Does the wedsite work well on mobile devices?

As a frequent Mentor level subscriber, and long-time user, I approve this. I can also tell you that it does have mobile functionality as well as integration into Google Hangouts, though I have not used the the mobile functions/API. I generally don't need to.

I do intend to play an actual wizard for this. I was thinking this would be more of a text-based, written RPG as is classic for the boards, but I don't mind running it table-top style either. XD

@yeti100

I'd rather stay on site unless it's just a roll feature.

@Tearstone

This.

[yeti100]

That's fair enough then guys. I will set us up on the board. Although I will also set a dice roller that we can use too, just for the rolling if that's ok. I will go into detail about how we'll actually run it on the RP. \watch this space i'll try and get it set up today.

[Tearstone]

For dice rollers you can always use the Wizards of the Coast Dice Roller.

There is also Invisible Castle, for when the honor system isn't good enough.

Roll20 does have its own rolling engines, which can include random number generation, or physical dice simulation. It includes powerful formula capabilities to leverage, which can make rolling easy and simple. It even features a GUI to make it reeeal simple instead of having ot slap together algebra-like code. And like Invisible Castle, it logs the rolls, though it's not as easy to post each roll separately.

Another option is using the randombetween function in a spreadsheet such as Google Docs, or Excel, or even Open Office's spreadsheet functions.
Though this is kind of a pain in the neck, and is less user-friendly.

[yeti100]

I will check all of these out Tearstone and pick one to use. For now i'm typing up character templates. Once that's done i'll create the RP forum and get you guys over to it. The city creation i'm hoping to get everyone involved so we have a setting that you all enjoy

[yeti100]

Hey guys RP is now up over one roleplayerguild.com/topics/86210-dresd.. still needs work but i've got a few questions for you all to begin with. See you over there.
