My God what an effort in futility this is. When i first heard about an Dresden inspired RPG i was excited. but after spending a few days with the Fate2.0 I'm just sad.
Well here's the up sides for someone who doesn't like FATE:
- You get to benefit from the research Chad's done and the detailed background into the Dresden Universe
- You get some astounding artwork (a view based on whats been released so far)
- FATE 3 characters are descriptive - so you don't have to understand the system to understand the characters, which in turn makes them easy to convert
- You get guides to playing Dresden in Chicago
- Or playing Dresden elsewhere
- It will be a great reference whichever system you choose to use
- It might have some more stuff by Jim himself
Why not have a look at FATE 3.0. Its significantly diferent to FATE 2.0, and its an easy download:
Spirit of the Century SRD as a .pdfand I hope you'll be impressed.
Out of curiosity what was it about FATE that you didn't like? Perhaps we can suggest a system that would be more to your liking? Perhaps we can even point you to links where people have already done much of the conversion work (like
this conversion of Spirit of the Century to use d20 style rules).
Hopefully when EHP fails with that someone else will pick it up and run with it.
Personally I'm hoping it
doesn't fail. Why? Because I know how much hard work has gone into it, and I realise that all that hard work has gone into the system due to a love of Jim's work and a love for roleplaying. Indi publishing doesn't pay enough to make a living on. People do it because they want to put something into the community and I would hate to see anyones dreams crash and burn.
