Dresden Files Burning Alpha Reports and Interview on Narrative Control
Hey folks! We’ve had our heads down & nose to the grindstone for a while, trying to deal with the Dresden Files RPG Entropy Curse Effect (more on that in a later post) and watching the Burning Alpha play itself out.
That said, we wanted to call your attention to a series of podcasts over on Narrative Control. These guys were part of the Burning Alpha and give the game some good attention. (That said, a lot of our playtesters got caught up in city creation more than anticipated — something we’re working on in our current revisions — so you’ll be seeing a fair amount of that in this round, too.)
Here’s a guide to the Dresden Files Burning Alpha episodes on Narrative Control:

Any eta on the book yet? I signed on for the beta and was never contacted… I’ve got five people waiting on me to GM this lovely setting.
Hi Ali, thanks for asking. We’re not ready to do the beta round of testing yet. After two rounds of alpha testing, we’re going into a deep revision and internal testing cycle.
Plus there were over 800 applicants for the playtesting, so it’s difficult for us to contact every person who submitted an application. The pool is huge!
