The Dresden files

I'm open to the idea so long as there's a reasonable explanation for said character being in the group, and their about equal with the others as far as abilities go.

The Dresden files

Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening, and sorry for the delay. Things happen in life, and despite my complaints and letters to management, I still don't get to erase them all with a little rubber eraser like the ones we all got in elementary school.
Yes, it does matter whose behind everything, but I like your idea,Templar knight, of an episodic type setting. So maybe we could work our way through the episodes, and learn more and more about whoever it is that's pulling the strings. Of course, that being said, I'm still not sure if there's going to be such a puppeteer, because everything really could just be chaos. though I do want one because this is the Dresden universe we're talking about, and there's always something bigger moving around behind the curtains, waiting for its time in the spotlight.
The white council is a factor too that I forgot about. I'm a bad Dresden fan. So I was thinking, maybe we could have one or two characters play as Wardens who are investigating into the ThreeEye and discover the newly created Wizards. I don't think they'd feel negatively towards the new wizards, especially if their on the younger said, at the most I'd would be them being highly suspicious of things. That's just a thought.
Also, I'm going to be honest, I'm not on as much as I'd like to be, and don't have the best track record of keeping these things going or starting, so I was wondering what everyone thought of a CoGM?

Hopefully this isn't too late, I'd be very interested, I tried making a Dresden Files RP several times and never got enough people.If you need help, I've read the first five books of the series. Either way, count me in.

Hi Templar!
Oh that's a shame? What were your ideas?
Speaking of enough people. How many players do you think we need for this? I think we've got enough, but I haven't really seen, or had much success with groups rps so I'd like to know what everyone thinks.

The Outsiders are.. dangerous to say the least. They're the one specific group of beings that the White Council has a rule about which is simply "NO CONTACT! No summoning them, no talking to them. Fight or run only." Or at least that's the gist of it. Cold Days covers a lot of details on the Outsiders, but there's still more about them that's sketchy and in the dark. Basically in the Nevernever,, deep in, there's the Outer Gates which are a doorway to another realm entirely it seems. There has been battle raging around the gates for who knows how long. It has been Mab's job to fight much of this battle and keep the Outsiders from getting in. He Who Walks Behind is an Outsider. They're creatures of great power, very dangerous, and most human magic rolls off of them with little to no effect. Sidhe magic is a bit more effective, but not much more. It comes down to melee combat a lot. Rashid the Gatekeeper (Senior Council member) is involved and has been helping in the situation. Mab has committed millions of Winter fae to the fight, and most of the trouble Harry's had in the past has been a small fraction. Anyway, Outsiders are baaaad juju. If you had it in mind, what city might you be interested in?

Oh wow that sounds really cool. So, maybe, the addicts serving as gateways for the outsiders to come into our world, so they won't have to mess with the fairies could work?
No, I'm still not sure where I want for this to take place. I'd be more than happy for it to take place in Baltimore, if that's what everyone wants. Though, I think maybe it would help if the group could get its hands on the information for it in the dresden rp. Do you know any sites where we could get that info?

I'm kinda interested, I haven't read the books, but I have access to someone that has read all the books.. *points at Tearstone* XD Just not sure on character atm. lol

Speaking of characters, is there any kind of practitioners anyone thinks should be banned(I kind of feel an ectomancer type character could end up being OP(Just a thought)), or how we should set up the characters? I kind of get the feeling this is an rp that would work better with stats, for balancing, but I don't really have much experience with that.

The RPG is amazing. I'm running a campaign right now and it's a blast. (Literally)But I'd totally be interested in something like this. However, are we all going to be ThreeEye addicts? Or can we play other people? Or even double or triple up?I don't know much about Baltimore (having never been there) but I could use my books if it came to that. However we'd leave out those who don't have access to the RPG.

Aww. Now I feel like I'm the only one that hasn't tried the Dresden Rp. That's it! It's going on my bucket list!
Mmm. I kind of want all our characters to be ThreeEye addicts, but I could see how maybe some others are need like for training the younger characters. Either that, or maybe we could do a time skip sort of thing, after our characters had time to deal with the addiction, and better learn their crafts. It could be that our characters got their powers years back, during the events in the first book, and only now are seeing the uglier effects associated with the creatures(possibly the outsiders) coming into the human world.
Yep, being left out, that's my worry as well. T,T

Hey Mal, let's not forget the Black Hats/Black Council/The Circle have had a hand in events since Victor Sells and the Three Eye gang got started. someone taught him in both his ability and how to make Three Eye in the first place. This could be a potent force to recruit these kids, turn them into addicts, or turn them into rampaging sorcerers with no regard for the Laws. Maybe they don't need to use Three Eye at some point, but it becomes like a magical steroid. Not to mention the foe/sickness from the Outside, and the war with the Outsiders going on. This all could tie in very well. Maybe the ThreeEye starts up again, what with the White Council and others busy dealing with the Fomor and their servitors as it is. Perhaps it would be a good time for Kumori and his companions to start making moves again, quietly, behind the scenes, or perhaps moving this group around?

Hey, I got another interest. Too bad it looks like I lost my first one Y.Y

Alright, I'm going to try and get what I've been considering across, but its 4am over here and I've been up since two, not by desire I just can't get to sleep, so if this comes out a little messy, I apologize and will try to clarify as these proceed.

Funny you mention that, someone else creating the ThreeEye, because I've been thinking of something similar, but I was missing an end goal. I got the idea that Victor wasn't really the brains behind the threeEye, and he was only selling it for the money, but the real brains behind it was after something else entirely. They knew about the potential effects it could have on some individuals, but the percentage of people who would experience the kinds of side effects they wanted were small so they decided to popularize it as a drug. This way enough people would be exposed to get the kind of results(individuals with powers) that they wanted. I've got a few ideas why they could have done this, but the main one involves some kind of contract. The creatures drawn to these new magic users would be offering some sort of service, and in exchange, those suffering from the extra effects of the drug would be used as unwilling sacrifices. My other idea is similar, but only instead of the creatures feeding on the humans, their really using them for beacons, or some kind of portal to make it into this realm, and only feed on them because their tastier, or more nourishing. Also, the new drug users could just be some kind of major distraction for something else planned. Whoever's pulling the strings would also try and seek out the stronger of the drug users to use for their motives.

I'm not sure who the Outsiders are, sadly enough. It's been a while since I've got through a lot of the books. I only recently got into the series again, because I just finished Ghost story, but haven't read any of the other books since last year, and haven't gotten any further than that. :(

As another thought, who says it has to be Chicago either. Baltimore would be a good choice, or perhaps somewhere on the West Coast. I suggest Baltimore for one simple reason: It's already set up for play in the Dresdenverse if you have access to the Dresden Files RPG (which I do). Could also set up any other decent sized city.

Sure, we could do it in Baltimore, if you'd like. I don't really have a preference as far as where this should take place, yet, so any and all Ideas are welcome.
Also, sadly, I don't have access to the Dresden rpg. I've been wanting to, but haven't had the money to get it yet T.T

Endangered. (Closed)

Ophiocoma Wendti

Endangered

So by first choice you mean the animal we're going to recommend, not the one we'll be playing as?

Endangered

Alright, so I'm having a little bit of trouble picking an animal to put in. Right now, I've got it narrowed down to three, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions, or possibly preferences since any of us to get it?
My three choices are
Pistol Shrimp
Borneo Hills Ninja Slug
Ophiocoma Wendtii(A type of starfish)

Endangered

This looks pretty promising to me, and I really hope it'll get off the ground. So I'm throwing my interest in. I just need to figure out which animal I want recommend.

Pokémon: Explorers of the Mazitec region.

This sounds like a lot of fun! I'm in!
