: ForumI just ordered a copy of the new Dresden Files RPG today. Volume 1, Your Story -- basically the equivalent of a PHB. It uses the FATE 3.0 engine.
A friend of mine will be running a Dresden game this fall. Can't wait to play and the book should be a good read too.
Now I'm just waiting for next week for delivery.
I've been reading it throughout the week. This sucker is BIG! About the size of a thin volume of an encyclopedia--say x-z. I'm reading in preparation to play in a friend's campaign, but I'm also keeping a prospective eye towards using the FATE 3.0 system for a future Lankhmar campaign. (I've been leaning strongly towards either FATE or PDQ for a while now.)
The chapter on creating a city with the full involvement of the players certainly sounds like it might have a great application for Lankhmar.
Gotta say that FATE 3.0 would be an excellent choice for a Nehwon game and I agree that Dresden Files RPG has some great nuggets for running a game set in Lankhmar proper.
PDQ or PDQ# would be excellent choices as well. I specifically wonder about the sword & sorcery supplement called Jaws of the Six Serpents, which might be perfectly geared for gaming in Nehwon. I don't own it, though, so I'd be curious to hear the opinions of others.
I like how PDQ uses a lot of the same concepts as FATE, but is more streamlined. However, I also like how FATE is open gaming content and I might want to write a S&S supplement someday. First things first though, getting another Lankhmar campaign off the ground.
Since I'll be playing in a FATE 3.0 game soon, I'll be able to get a good feel for how well it runs and its possible application towards running Lankhmar.
I'll totally be using the Dresden City chapter for Lankhmar. I figure I can go ahead and work out in advance the main attractions and my set pieces, then have the City brain-storming session with the players and add even more to the city for their version of Lankhmar.
I'm also digging the Mythic: GM Emulator. This might be a great tool to have handy when the players are exploring the city and the need comes up to improvise.
