The Dresden Files RPG

Hi folks! Sorry about the lack of updates these last couple months — the Summer convention season has had us swamped. While we’re continuing to work on the RPG (despite a computer crash slowing down one of our writers), we’ve lacked that crucial extra chunk of time to update folks on this blog.

So what’s new? Well, we recently kicked off the Burning Alpha Playtest. This is the second alpha round, with another 20 or so playtesting groups selected out of our pool of over (yikes!) 750 applicants. Stacey Chancellor, one of our Burning Alpha playtesters, has started collecting links to the various places you can see the Burning Alpha underway, over on the Dresden Files RPG Livejournal Community:

Evil Hat will be attending GenCon, as a part of the IPR / Forge Booth (#1939) — and by that we mean lead developer Lenny Balsera, setting guru Chad Underkoffler, and Evil Hat owners Rob Donoghue and Fred Hicks will all be there, along with other members of our writing and editing staff. Come on by and pick our brains!

And while we’re on the topic of GenCon, the Ennie Awards voting is underway, and Evil Hat’s product Spirit of the Season is up for an award for Best Supplement. We’d love to get your support with just a couple minutes taken to vote (you don’t have to vote on everything, just the stuff you’re familiar with).

If you’d like to familiarize yourself with Spirit of the Season before casting a vote, please do! We have a completely free 40-page version (trimmed down from the 72+ page version that’s for sale) available on DriveThruRPG:

Thanks, everyone!
