Dresden Files [FATE - Core or Accelerated] [System]

[Blythe]

Hi, all!

I am really hoping for a chance to play the Dresden Files RPG or the Dresden Files Accelerated game. Both are systems and use FATE, the latter being the Accelerated version. I'd really be happy to play either!

I'd especially love a chance to play a magic-user of some sort! Woot woot wizards!

I would be looking for a game that would specifically be okay with:
- crossgender writers participating (Lords writing female characters, Ladies writing male characters, Lieges writing characters that don't match their gender identity, and Legates writing whatever they'd like).
- a post rate of at least 2/week or so, but no minimum posting length.
- something that isn't sex focused--preferably with sexual content being given its own separate thread away from plot. :)

If anyone here might be interested in GMing such a thing (or being a fellow player!), please do say so. :)

I'd sign up as a player! I love the books, and would love to try and play a Knight of the Cross :-)

[Blythe]

A Knight of the Cross would be very cool!  :-) Do you have a preference for the original Dresden Files RPG or the Accelerated? ^^

[Imogen]

As long as I can play in the Dresdenverse, I am happy! Also, I will have to (re)learn the system anyway :-) I'd sign up either way!

Possibly interested (as a player—I could not possibly run a game right now). 2/week is on the slow side for me, though. I find that I have trouble maintaining emotional investment in my character if the game's much slower than 1/day.

[ReijiTabibito]

I actually have a couple of characters I made that I could play for this - one would be a Champion of God (But not a KoC), another would be a Fae Court Knight (long story there), the last would be your bog-standard Mortal.  I would ask what power level we're playing this on.

I cannot play in group games that require daily commitment. I can post several times a week when RL and Staffing are not keeping me too occupied, but I can't ever guarantee an IC post a day. My activity level fluctuates too much to ever guarantee such a quick pace.

[HairyHeretic]

I'd be interested in playing.

I totally understand that. I know I'm in the minority on Elliquiy.

[Pumpkin Seeds]

I might be able to run something one day but would be slow and need much discussion.   As for playing I'd go with a street magician that can do real magic.

[PixelatedPixie]

I would be interested as well as a player, for the full RPG version not the accelerated one (unless they are compatible).

[Rook Seidhr]

DFA is a new edition of the game, not a stripped-down version. They are not particularly compatible.

[HairyHeretic]

I have the original rules, but not the accelerated. Is there a lot of differences in the two?

[Rook Seidhr]

They are almost entirely different.

[AmberStarfire]

Did I see those magic words, 'Dresden Files'? :D

I'd be up for a game of this. I couldn't keep up with posting at the rate of 1/day though. I'd say once to twice a week.

Yeah, as I said, I'm in the minority on Elli and I don't expect to wind up playing in this.

[AndyZ]

I would be all up ons ^_^ Not 100% what I'd play though, and I'm not 100% I remember the Dresdenverse well enough to GM.

[TheLaughingOne]

Ooohhh... i would love a good dresden game... had character that had shaped to come out as real fun...

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Once I have some personal real life issues off my plate maybe I can try to run a New Orleans game with Dresden flavor.

[CupofJoe]

I haven't played either system, but I'd absolutely love to be a player! I will be getting the books eventually, and I'll be running a game with friends IRL. So maybe after a while I could run something. But in the mean time, I'd be a player!

[Blythe]

Okay. Hmmm. There are a lot of players interested, but we do not seem to have a GM. But I really want a game of this in some capacity, so.....

They say if you want a game enough, GM it yourself, so here goes!

A disclaimer: I don't have the most experience GMing FATE games in general, and certainly not online. But I would potentially decide to GM this rather than be a player if a group were willing to be very patient with me as I mucked my way through GMing FATE on a forum for the first time. If people are open to this, speak up, please?

I can GM either the 'full' version or the Accelerated, so people should let me know their preference.

If I GM, I am going to want to run a plot that will have your characters facing off against someone from the Order of the Blackened Denarius, most likely, though I have not decided if this would be a canon character or a GM-created one.

Thoughts?

[AndyZ]

Blythe, I will feel bad if I make you run yet another game for my sake, but I totes want to play.

And the Nickelheads absolutely make some great Antagonists ^_^

[TheLaughingOne]

Ive got the full version, and could grab the accelerated, so im game to try either...

And as for GMs, could try it as a rotating thing... A master canon of whats happened and after each story we have a sort of downtime rp, the things that happen between stories, get people who wanna run little events, and then when we got someone ready, they roll out a full sized story for people to go on (in which their pc takes a back seat) that gives people a chance to actually play rather the. Gming all the time.

I really enjoy this idea! This would give me a chance to gather up the books, run a few sessions IRL to get a feel for it. Then when  I'm ready, I could GM. Just forgive my lack of cannon knowledge, I'm only on book 5, almost 6. Still got a bit to go to catch up!
