The Dresden Files Mafia: Storm Front [Sign Up]

[deadshot042]

I think the interest is there, so for my first game I will be presenting book one of the Dresden Files. If the game goes well and people enjoy the concept, expect the series to continue.

For those of you not familiar with the franchise, imagine fantasy and horror elements thrown into a modern noir setting. A gumshoe wizard and his allies, both magical and mundane, must solve a mystery and save the day. There are mafiosos and police, vampires and warlocks, fairies and demons all battling to defeat evil, slaughter their enemies or look out after their own interests. Hopefully that's enough to intrigue a few players.

A comprehensive summary of the first story may be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Front_(novel)

This is my first game, so I'm limiting sign ups to 17 players. Quebbster is providing some help in creating roles and balance.

The game will most likely not begin until either February 14th or 21st to accommodate for possibly busy mafia schedules, unless a full roster demands otherwise.

Thanks for signing up. The storm is approaching.

In /filler

[Grinner]

You know I'm in :grin:

[normalview]

I haven't been this excited for a theme since Quebbster ran Weird Al.

So in...

[deadshot042]

Glad to see some early sign ups, make sure to tell your friends. :p

Also, in order to figure out the best start date, post the earliest you'd like to see this begin and I'll base the date on those suggestions.

[Song of Ice and Fire]

Yesterday XD

[Grinner]

Any starting time works for me.

[malakim2099]

I am not auto-signed up for this?

I am seriously hurt. :p

(BOB! I WANNA BE BOB!)

(BOB! I WANNA BE BOB!)

Bring me fourteen players and I'll see what I can do. :p

Roles are written and reviewed. I'm really excited with how this is shaping up.

Over a million times yes I'm in. I was debating giving this a try for another stab at modding, but I'd far rather play in it!

[Mr Stranger]

Yup, I'm in :)

[Immortal_Raven]

I've heard Dresden Files is good, so I'll give it a whack.

[deadshot042]

We're not quite halfway yet, which has me a little worried. If anyone has suggestions for collecting players, please PM them to me.

Hopefully I can get enough votes of confidence to try modding my first game. Thanks to everyone who has signed up so far. :)

Let me see if I can find an audiobook version. If I can, I will listen to it and sign up when I'm done. These book usually take me about a week to listen to.

EDIT: after a quick search, there are 12 books? Storm Front is the first one? If so, it looks to be fairly short.

Storm Front is the first novel, yes. There are some short stories which, in the time-line of the series, occur even earlier, but you don't need them to know what is going on.

And, yeah, the first one was kind of short, but it was still pretty good.

Thanks for the interest. James Marsters (Spike) reads the audio adaptations, so they're pretty enjoyable.

[deadshot042]

It looks like a bunch of games are wrapped or currently wrapping up, so I'll give this a bump.

I'm just asking for enough good faith to give modding a go at least once. If you like the game, I'll keep it up. If you hate, I'll stick to being a player.

I am putting the Dresden Files on hiatus for now. Hopefully I will run a few successful games and be able to revive this one in good time. For those of you that have already signed up for "Storm Front", please check out "The Raft".
