Halloween Surprise: Hocus Focus!
Occult Chicago. Beneath the surface there are movers and shakers, magics and artifacts, all hidden from mortal eyes. There’s so much right there for the taking — money, power, fame, respect — it feels like all you need to is just reach out and grab it. And that’s just what you intend to do. You’ve got supernatural powers, a foolproof plan, and then? Easy street. What could go wrong?
Lurking at the intersection of The Dresden Files RPG by Evil Hat and Fiasco by Bully Pulpit, Hocus Focus is a Dresden Files themed playset for Fiasco – with a twist. You play the monsters — and your schemes are under investigation by Harry Dresden. Explore the Dresden-inflected fun when bad things done by bad people go very, very badly indeed!
You can download the free play-set from DriveThruRPG – or buy the special discounted bundle of The Dresden Files RPG: Your Story from Evil Hat and Fiasco from Bully Pulpit that includes the Hocus Focus playset and save $7!
Great job with the play-set, guys. I love the color commentary and all of the people, places and things have a very Dresden-esque feel. Having Harry be the tilt casts the whole thing in a new light, too. It forces us to ask the question of what Harry’s presence is like to the other people involved in stories. He is the proverbial monkey wrench in the plans of all those villains, after all.
Is this the something out of left field?
Yes
This is very awesome, thank you. We’ve been wanting to play both Dresden and Fiasco, so I think this is a perfect thing for my group. Would love to see more stuff like this(Dresden in other rules systems)!

I couldn’t agree more, and with what Ego said my own group couldn’t wait to play.
