The Dresden Files RPG Session 2

Posted in Dresden Files RPG, Play Sessions, RPG Only on September 13th, 2010 by Kevin Weiser

Session 2 of our run through the Dresden Files RPG covers most of character creation. There was a lot of explaining and brainstorming going on, so we didn’t manage to make it through the whole process, but what’s left (skills, mostly) is going to be done off-mic. Check out what wacky characters we came up with for our urban fantasy version of DC!

Dresden Files Actual Play Session 1

Posted in Dresden Files RPG, Play Sessions, RPG Only on September 4th, 2010 by Kevin Weiser

After a month and a half of cons, vacations, natural disasters and technical difficulties, we finally get a chance to sit down and play us some Dresden Files RPG by Evil Hat. This first session is our second try at city creation. The first time we decided on Anchorage, AK, and this time around we go a very different direction with Washington, D.C. A few changes have happened since our last run though a game. We got Jen back on the show as a regular, we lost Dan due to Real Life (aka. work schedule conflicts, but he’ll still be doing the Comics Cast) and for this game we’ve got the return of Troll, whom you may remember from our Dread Halloween Special.
