So, tomorrow half my group comes over for our first test of the conflict system in the Dresden Files RPG. It’s very similar to the Spirit of the Century system, but with a couple of tweaks to add a little detail (like weapons and armor) and scale up the grit … Continue reading
Two more characters added to the DFRPG Playtest Samples. For those of you keeping score at home, that leaves three more mundane characters to come. First, we have Jimmy Swan, a detective of the Organized Crime Unit, with a brother on the wrong side of the law. Then there’s Artemis … Continue reading
First off, a new character posted: Iris McPherson, another crazy street person, this one with an alien fixation.
