I've signed up for the Dresden playtest. Not sure when Evil Hat's going to drop the files, but when they do, the playtest is on.

I know that Wildduck is in on this too, and Spazman was, I think, in the first group of playtesters. I propose that we create a Dresden Files RPG category on this board, since I know that quite a few listeners, and all of the hosts, are going to be involved in the playtesting. This forum seems to be a central enough place to talk about it between playtest groups.

Rather than post DFRPG stuff on the main site, I'm going to give any of my players who want to get in on this posting privileges on my blog. I've left it alone long enough, and now I'm going to have some use for it.]]> Dresden http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=2684#Comment_2684 http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=2684#Comment_2684 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 17:04:52 -0400 Amnesiac Dresden http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=2685#Comment_2685 http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=2685#Comment_2685 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 17:12:38 -0400 Shaun FATE System, which is the same system that Spirit of the Century uses. I fully intend to run at least one game of that first, just to get people familiar with the rules. The link I posted is to the SotC SRD, if you're interested in how the system works. It's actually pretty simple.

The Dresden rules are still incomplete, so a lot of stuff is likely to be broken. I have a feeling that we'll be frequently stopping mid-session to slog through rules, so it's actually going to be as much work as it is play.]]> Dresden http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=2686#Comment_2686 http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=2686#Comment_2686 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 17:16:21 -0400 Amnesiac Dresden http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=2694#Comment_2694 http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=2694#Comment_2694 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 21:20:54 -0400 Ramone Hoffman Dresden http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=2695#Comment_2695 http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=2695#Comment_2695 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 03:39:21 -0400 wildduck

That means it really can be an effective circle of protection for the whole city.

Also, the real Loop isn't actually complete, though naturally in the game it is. Dawn had a pretty cool suggestion when I was telling her about it. The yellow parts of the loop on the map might not be "officially" complete, they might be areas that the magical denizens of the city have helped complete.]]> Dresden http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=3010#Comment_3010 http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=3010#Comment_3010 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 03:06:21 -0400 Amnesiac Dresden http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=3011#Comment_3011 http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=3011#Comment_3011 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 03:27:36 -0400 AlainnDawn link to check out.

The fun bits are towards the bottom under "Portland, Oregon: A City's Shady Past" and "The Portland Underground: Shanghai Tunnels". I was especially amused by the "blood money" bit (Stopping for a drink in such notorious establishments as Erickson's Saloon, the Snug Harbor Saloon, and the Valhalla Saloon, people became unsuspecting victims who found themselves beneath the streets in tunnels and being carried out to the waterfront and sold for "blood money". ) after what Sean said about you guys putting vampires down at the waterfront. It's almost like you knew! ;) Maybe Portland was subconsciously...influencing you.

Oh, plus there are ghosts about in Oldtown ("Northwest Paranormal Investigations" has proclaimed that the shanghai tunnels are the most haunted place in Oregon and, perhaps, the most haunted place on the West Coast.)]]> Dresden http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=3016#Comment_3016 http://forum.thismoderndeath.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74&Focus=3016#Comment_3016 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 11:16:35 -0400 Shaun Posted By: AlainnDawn("Northwest Paranormal Investigations" has proclaimed that the shanghai tunnels are the most haunted place in Oregon and, perhaps, the most haunted place on the West Coast.)I LOVE this.

If you'd stuck with something in Texas, I would have recommended doing San Antonio. If there's any place in the state of Texas that's haunted, it's The Alamo. Creepy damn place; I've been there. Plus the water canals are just cool.

I know you don't need more ideas for places but did the Portland Saturday Market get brought up? www.portlandsaturdaymarket.com It could make a great place to get information or hand-crafted stuff. You know how wizards need the low-tech stuff. ;) Plus I could see it being a place to pick up oddball things too, no reason at all why the magical community couldn't be rolled into it.
