11:13 am - Spirit of the Dresden Files
So I'm playtesting the Dresden Files RPG, but all of it isn't done yet (unsurprisingly). I would like to run the "full" thing, and so in the meantime, I'm reading the files, preparing, and our group is running Spirit of the Century to familiarize them with the rules.
On the drive to Western MA I got an inspiration. The group has made vampires a huge part of their back stories. I thought, "Why not make them Dresden vampires?" Percolate, percolate. I thought, "I'm going to introduce Dresdenny stuff here." Percolate, percolate. I thought, "That could be lame, some Dresden stuff won't work in SOTC mood." Percolate, percolate. I thought, "There's a guy in Dresden's Newark (where our game is going to be set), a bisexual Brazilian trickster-type guy, who's writing pulp 'fiction' as a way to disseminate information about what's really going on in the world to a public who won't process it."
I'm pretty excited by this idea.

So I have been honored to be invited into the "bleeding edge" Dresden Files RPG playtest. The first official task we were given was to Dresden-up a city using the city rules. This is at about the 75% done stage, but I'm excited and want to share. I should note that I have not read a single Dresden book and only watched the show a couple of times, so some of what I have here might not be totally in theme for Dresden. Please take such failings as my own, and not as those of Evil Hat. Here it is:
