The Dresden files RPG is a roleplaying game from Evil Hat productions. The game is set in the urban fantasy world of the popular Dresden Files books - the World of Darkness, if folks decided "Fuck brooding! Gimme my bourbon, I wanna sock the bastards!" The game was released on June 23rd, 2010.
The game mechanics uses the FATE System, a riff off of the FUDGE generic rpg system, already make popular by Spirit of the Century. The Dresden Files RPG is the first official "version 3.0" instance of the FATE System.
DFRPG is maybe the most popular FATE adaption. Its main drawbacks are the generally overpowered magic-users (vanilla mortals FTW!) and the fact that every mention on /tg/ causes a very special avatarfag and his army of hateboys to appear.
City Creation
Probably the best-kept secret of the game, the city creation rules are a great toolkit allowing for players to collaboratively build the kind of city they want to adventure in.
The Actual Dresden Files
They're pretty awesome, seriously, go read them.
- 1) Storm Front: not the author's best work but not terrible. Involves curses, a drug ring, and naked battles with a demon (its less kinky than it sounds).
- 2) Fool Moon: widely regarded as the worst book in the series but still pretty passable. Has werewolves out the wazoo (totally not furries, trust me).
- 3) Grave Peril: this is where shit gets good; Vampires (WoD variety, not Twilight shit, you'll learn to hate them for completely different reasons though) and a scary-ass powerful ghost.
- 4) Summer Knight: Faeries (the old folklore "Steal Children and Mutilate Livestock/people" kind, not the Disney kind). Its got badass Dark Eldar-type Faeries, slightly less badass Craftworld-type Faeries, and everything in between. Also, the sobering after-effects of losing a loved one and emotional crap like that. Also, don't call the faeries to their faces (its like a racial slur).
- 5) Death Masks: to sum it up, atheist warriors of heaven, conquistadore vampires, Fallen Angels, and a villian so evil that he makes Honsou look like Sanguinius. Seriously, he's so evil, that a Fallen Angel literally older than the concept of time thinks that he's one of the most evil things ever.
