Dresden Files RPG
Hi guys and welcome to the game. This section is going to expand as I get more and more of the character creation rulebook written up for you guys but for now we have an important question to answer. Power Level.
I've already had someone mention they want to be a wizard so I won't be dropping the power level below chest deep(I'll explain below)
Chest deep: this power level gives us access to 8 refresh points, seven of which can be spent on powers and stunts, and 30 skill points with a skill cap of Superb(+5). This will enable us to use all base templates, although the most powerful like the wizard won't have much room for customization until we've levelled up a few times. This is the level that the alphas would be playing at as an example, or maybe a bunch of apprentice wizards at Molly's level or experienced minor practitioners. There is the potential for action but you will also have to remember that you will be stuck in the middle management of protecting those weaker, but still answering to those stronger.
Submerged: This power level gives us access to 10 refresh points, seven of which can be spent on powers and stunts, and 35 skill points with a skill cap of Superb(+5). This will enable us to use all base templates and even the wizard will have a little room for customization, more when we've levelled up a few times. This is pretty much the Dresden-level. At submerged level if something comes to punch your teeth in you can almost certainly punch back, or at least make them think twice. A good level if we're after political/intrigue games as we've all seen Dresden need to manoeuvre through White Council, Faerie Courts and others on the accords. Also a good action story level too.
This is the first decision I need you guys to make. It will start to shape the stories we can tell and determine your characters too. I will go into more depth about refresh points(basically skill points) as I write up more of this. For now just think of that one point you can't spend as your free will. You lose it by taking too many powers and your character becomes an NPC.
Although not an immediate decision I also want you to consider city creation. I can probably come up with a pretty good setting on my own. But the game make city creation a team thing. If you guys want to be involved in this then the first question we have to answer is what city should our game be based in.
I want everyone to have a say in this so I won't proceed too much further until everyone has voted. closing date
for this decision 25th next week at the latest.
I will update this section with skill and power lists next. After that will be character templates and a guide to creating your characters. I know at least one or two of you have the rulebooks so if you want to jump straight into character creation go for it.

I will check all of these out Tearstone and pick one to use. For now i'm typing up character templates. Once that's done i'll create the RP forum and get you guys over to it. The city creation i'm hoping to get everyone involved so we have a setting that you all enjoy
Damien was sure the message he'd been sent couldn't be right, it had to have been a trick, except the countersign was correct and the warden knew him by name so it had to be right. Fifteen wardens had entered a building supposed to be filled with red court vampires, and none had come out. So why would they send him in next? This was a job for the truly hardened combat specialists of the council, he had a few tricks up his sleeves to be sure, but this was a whole other level. However, fear didn't mean he could shirk his responsibilities, he had been sent to the location and if he was told to fight then that was what he would do. He just really hoped he didn't have to.
The building where he'd been told to meet the others was covered with a blanket of fear, it moved across Damien's skin like grease and oil, trying to seep through the pores and get into this brain. He adjusted the bandanna on his head, making sure the protective spells had the most coverage. His master had told him that this was pointless, that the spells were useless, but wardens were allowed to have superstitions. He walked up the stairs and knocked on the door, entering when he heard a whispered voice. Two wardens were already there. The one with mismatched eyes, Jimmy, he knew only by reputation. The other one he didn't know at all, but she looked strong enough to snap his arm in four places if he offered it to shake, so he settled for a polite nod. He knew there was going to be more than this, but sitting still was not his thing. So he placed a dreamcatcher on the door, and using it as the focal point of his spell, started spinning wards around the room. He couldn't keep out much but he could keep the oppression of dark magic from interrupting their sleep. That had to be good for something right?

That's fair enough then guys. I will set us up on the board. Although I will also set a dice roller that we can use too, just for the rolling if that's ok. I will go into detail about how we'll actually run it on the RP. \watch this space i'll try and get it set up today.
That's fine @Aqutanama I'm in this for the long haul. I suspect it might be a little while before we're all up an ready to play. You're more than welcome though. How do you feel about playing on Roll20?
Righty guys we have our numbers. Welcome @Blue Demon, @Crimson Raven, @Rook, @Obsidian One, @Tearstone. Now I enjoy Dresden Files enough to run a full campaign. Character and City creation, the works. I have an account over on Roll20 where we can set up. If everyone is ok using this site, completely anonymous and has all the stuff we'll need for keeping track of characters and what's happened in the story, then that's excellent. I'll book a time when we can start brainstorming and character creation. If anyone is worried about using this site then give me a shout and we can sort something else out. Post on here to let me know. My plan is to run a full game every two weeks to a month. I know this is a long time apart, but I want to make sure I have the time to put in every effort I can for you guys. If this is what you're looking for then brilliant again if not send me a message. Until then, remember that magic, it can get a guy killed
The problem with storing vitality in Phylacteries was that it left you completely exhausted afterwards. Jackson was just considering turning in for the night even though it was currently daytime when his phone hummed at him from his desk. He saw Max's number and considered ignoring it, but he never rang without good reason. He answered it, listened to the instruction and then yawned. Max always picked the worst times to find them a case, but there was no point complaining, it paid the bills after all. After shrugging into his coat, Jackson put his revolver in the holster and made an effort to pull a comb through his hair.
The air was cool outside, good because it helped him wake up, and the walk into the city to find the coffee shop got the blood pumping around his body. The coffee shop on 21st and 7th was a quaint little place, not the kind you'd expect to find a meeting of a world-class supernatural task force. Good thing too, it would be embarrassing for the S.I.N to run into a world-class task force, although they might be able to ask for some pointers. He noticed Max, boss to him, sitting at a table with the other one, Olderson, sipping at a drink. He pointedly ignored them and went to get something with as much caffeine in as possible. That done he sat down gave them both a polite nod and waited for the others to arrive.

Sounds interesting. Go ahead and make the change. :)
Done so, thanks
Just to update I have sent some messages across to people who were interested in the past. With a bit of luck we'll get one or two more and that will be enough to run the game.
