I would like to try a Dresden File game, to get a feel of this game, so I propose this scenario about teenagers who want to stay in a house that people called haunted, a victorian two story house scary enough by day.

But even scarier when you know a triple homicide took place several years ago, would the daring teenagers survive the night ?

Game is ready for 5 to 7 people.

Partly pre-generate characters :
- Athletic kid (default guy)
- Jocker (default guy)
- Rich Sexy (default gal)
- Curious (default gal)
- Medium (default guy)
- Good friend (default gal)
- Cultist (default guy)

Is thus new player friendly. I do love a good horror story.
Apr 27, 2022 7:27 pm
how is the world of Dresden connected to his story?
As I recall the Dresden Files Games System then is a more gritty version of FATE.
Apr 27, 2022 7:33 pm
Correct it is part of Dresden files universe, the only is you are not too powerfull cause you are teenagers.

And I try to make it beginner friendly anyway ;)

But please vote, the story will be more a frightening ghost story or a full fledge ghost horror story depending on your choice.

I ent you all invite.

I don't know the Dresden Files series nor system, but I do know FATE. Is that enough to play the game?
Apr 28, 2022 4:11 am
Just out of curiosity, will the system be the original Dresden Files RPG, or the newer Dresden Files Accelerated?
Apr 28, 2022 8:35 am
Original Dresden File from 2000, based on Fate.

And you do not even need to know Fate (it is a plus).

I don't know the system at all, but I do love the genre both as horror or mystery.

Fun to read, but horrible lookup stuff in

Yep these books, there are three volumes.
Apr 28, 2022 9:05 am
So far I invited everybody, there are 5 players, it is the minimum to play, so the game is ready, I will wait gin a couple of days to see if we can fill up all the spots.

The poll percentage are a little weird though, we should get 100% tota.
Apr 28, 2022 12:18 pm
Those polls are a bit laggy. It's better to use the code for polls. But I can never remember it. @Adam, help!
Apr 28, 2022 12:31 pm
Thanks

@Adam, don't help!
Apr 28, 2022 12:39 pm
@Qralloq & @bowlofspinash Thanks or the info, I'll use it for a next poll.
Apr 28, 2022 3:36 pm
Pretty sure DFRPG came out in 2010, DFA came out in 2017. Regardless, have a great game!

The one published by Evil Hat? I suspect that WotC reference is for something else, some OGL thing?
Apr 28, 2022 5:38 pm
Possible, the character sheets are copyright 2010, I did not find any other rights.
Apr 29, 2022 1:44 am
Ha, yes. That copyright page is a bit of a mess, as the in world comment at the bottom of the page observes:
