Everyone wants to be Harry Dresden. Except maybe Harry Dresden. And people who haven’t read Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files books, in which case, get thee hence to a bookstore! Assuming you’ve done this already, the Dresden Files RPG is the perfect solution to the eternal wait for the next book in the series. This licensed product is made up of two core books: Volume One: Your Story, and Volume Two: Our World. Your Story provides all the game mechanics and systemy bits you need to get started using the popular Fate RPG system. Our World gives you everything you need to populate your game with awesome things from the books. Meet with your favorite characters for a pint at Mac’s or take a trip through the Nevernever to save the world. Don’t forget your blasting rod.
We’ll take an extra pint of Mac’s brew and a Whopper to celebrate the following Dresden Files RPG awards:
- 2011 Gold ENnies: Best Writing, Best Rules, Best New Game and Best Game
- 2011 Silver ENnies: Best Production Values and Product of the Year
- 2010 Golden Geek Game of the Year
- 2010 Golden Geek Best Art/Presentation (for Volume One)
- 2011 Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Game
- 2011 Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Supplement (for Volume Two)
The Dresden Files RPG. More fun than riding an undead dinosaur through the streets of Chicago, and that’s saying a lot.
When are we going to see some more Dresden Files material, especially a full blown adventure?
Later this year. Not sure how much later. 🙂
Woohoo! Came here wondering the same thing.
Must have more Dresdenverse RPG material. Drink some protein shakes, Fred! Get busy, my man. We hunger, we CRAVE!
Mark, Paranet Papers is going into layout NEXT WEEK! Exciting!
Sean, being disabled and in pain 24/7, not much excites me any more besides my children. This news however made my day. Any ideas on who/what/when/where to pre-order?
Cant wait for more Dresden Files books.
Any one know where I can link up with people to play?
I am interested in the same thing. I have not even purchased this game as yet. Are the two books mention the foundation or do I need to purchase something else for game mechanics?
All the core mechanics are in volume one, Your Story. The second book, Our World expands on the setting detail and gives you tons of stats for monsters, factions, and other characters (including Harry D).
Fred, It’s a lot latter in this year, any idea when the next book will hit the selves?
Thanks
Layout is taking a long time, as would be expected. After that, much art acquisition. I think we’ve still got a few months ahead of us.
YES!! People to play Dresden Files RPG!!!
Milwaukee area.
Any chance of anyone starting anything online via a “roll20” or “fantasygrounds” or really any kind of online table top gaming set up?
My friends moved all over through adulthood and very few of us retain such tastes for gaming, Someone who hosts or knows of an online community for any Dresden gaming would be most helpful 😀
Have you spent any time on the Dresden Files RPG forum boards over on http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/ ?
How about a Pathfinder compatable suppliment.
Not likely!
Hey Fred,
It’s December and I’m looking for some of that promised Dresden material, hoping for a 3rd RPG info book. I have both “Your Story” and “Our World”, now I’m looking for maybe “Whos Who”.
Race
Who’s Who is kinda what Our World was, man. 🙂 We’re working on getting Paranet Papers out into the world by mid-2014, tho!
Just got the books for Christmas, and am running my first game tonight (I’m late to the party, but totally hooked, I’m so pumped, and my players’ faces lit up when I told them what we were doing).
Thanks for such an amazing game! <3
I Just recently discovered this series! Looooove it my son has decided it’s awesome as well on the last 2 books now and will be feverishly awaiting may for the next one.
Hi,
I’ve just bought the rpg books and trying to get some friend together to try it out.
It will be to much to ask all of them to buy and read the main book, since this is a try out.
So my question is there a page(s) summery for making a character and main rools?
Is there any chance that the Paranet Papers (tangible version) will include copies of the casefiles “neutral grounds” or “night fears” or perhaps some new case files?
Five or six of its chapters (I forget how that shook out) will end up looking a lot like the Baltimore/Nevermore chapter from Your Story, covering slices of setting such as South America, Las Vegas, the Russian Revolution, and more. 🙂
was trying to get http://www.dresdenfilesrpg.com/quiz/quiz1.php and i kept being redirected here. anyone know why that was happening? on another note, i’m a HUGE fan of the book series, and, my brother told me about there being an RPG based entirely on the series (i thought that was pretty awesome)
That quiz got retired a long time ago (it’s many years old).
ah, thank’s for keeping me in the “know” fred, much appreciated 🙂
Just have to ask; Does Mr Butcher even come to this site and read the posts?
If so, I have a question; How come Harry is never prepared for a fight?! He is powerful, quick and smart. So I mean of course equipment wise. But he ALWAYS gets hurt before the big fight in the end, leaving his future survival up to his quick wit. But come on, how hard is it to make some small life saving equipment that he then always carries around with him. Just so he doesnt get his ass handed to him when he shouldnt? Like those force rings, but…more leathal stuff! … Those are my thoughts. 🙂
