I think that Fred has been under the assumption that everyone here knows all about the Dresden Files RPG, but clearly some of the posters here don’t know anything about RPGs at all, and may know even less about the Dresden Files RPG in specific. Therefore, for those who do not already know much about the game, here is an information thread.

While I certainly am not an expert on this, I have spent lots of time over the past couple of weeks trying to figure out anything about the game that I can. Here are a few links that will give you some information about the game.

First, here is the main webpage for the Dresden Files RPG.
http://www.dresdenfilesrpg.com/

The Dresden Files RPG will be based off of the Fate RPG (also by Fred), which can be downloaded for free here:
http://www.faterpg.com/dl/

And the game system will be similar to the one in “Spirit of the Century”, which will be released first. This is the best way to get a preview of the game mechanic that will make the Dresden Files RPG work. (With the exception of the magic system, which Fred says is not the same in both games.)
http://www.evilhat.com/spirit/

Finally, the company producing the Dresden Files RPG is Evil Hat Productions. Here is their main page:
http://www.evilhat.com/

I just thought a little advertising would be a good thing.

I play RPGs but I'm not familiar with those mentioned. Anybody give me a hint about the game system, basically dice rolls, and what dice are used??

I'm starting a new thread for this. I would think that cluttering up an "information" thread with other side-questions would be counterproductive.

Sweet! An RPG that I'd be more than willing to get hooked on! Coming from me, that's saying something. I've only found two that really caught my attention.

Hello,

What's the latest world on a release for this? Soon-ish? Not so soon-ish? Looking forward to it either way.

Thanks,
