The Dresden Files RPG

I recently pre-ordered the 2 Dresden books with PDFs. When will the PDFs be available for download?

Thank you,
Tracy Kaczmarek

Any chance we could get a PDF of the reference sheets from the back of the book, sans background for easier printing?

@fred
Sweet, thanks!

Very nice – just picked up my preorder copies down at EndGame. Great to see the final reference materials, etc. posted for download.

love the “printer friendly” versions of the character sheets but unfortunately you can’t fill them out. well i took the not so friendly version and made it editable: http://www.mediafire.com/?kzmnutbjkgo

they look nice anyway

The printable character sheets and the powers list are great for character creation.
How about a download of the Types and Templates?
This would be a definate help to the beleagured GM, especially primitve or wizardly sorts who think books heavy, paper and sloidly bound.

Just got both my books today- Well worth the money I feel. The make of the book is a higher grade than most other RPG’s and each book is about an inch think!

Love the writing style as well as the side line conversations going on in the book. I am not familiar with the FATE system however so that is just more reading I need to do before we give it a test drive.

Thanks Jim! …and thanks Shuzumi for the editable sheet!

Just got the books from my local store last night – wow, are they ever nice! Do I send in some proof of purchase – receipt, ect – to get the pdfs? How does that work?

You should totally offer a Desktop Wallpaper of the background from this page with the cool pentacles and runes.

Came on here to ask for some editable sheets and see that Shuzumi has provided some nice ones. Thanks dude, much appreciated. My handwriting is so atrocious that even I cannot read it at times. So these are optimal for my group and I. That being said, any possibility of the city sheets as editable sheets as well?

Hey Guys I want to thank you for this. my friend just picked up the the books. awesome…!

@fred
NICE!!!

Thanks, Fred!

Hey guys, love the game. One thing that I think might be cool is some index-card sized NPC sheets, perhaps form-fillable with 6 or so to a page, with a stress track, a space for Aspects/Powers, and one for Skills. Obviously important NPCs should have their own full sheet, but a smaller one for weaker but still mechanically significant NPCs wouldn’t hurt.

Just wanted to say that I’m loving the game so far…I never really played tabletop RPG’s, but promised I would if there was ever a Dresden Files campaign setting Been having a blast so far even though I’m a newbie. Even if I do critical fail every time I try to throw fire…

Also, @Fred, any easy way to get that same image on Explorer? Want to get it on my work PC, but got no Firefox there and my e-mail gets a bit touchy with graphic files

Also, random question I forgot to mention…I was given my books as a gift but the gift giver didn’t keep the receipts. Am I SOL as far as nabbing a PDF copy for easier transport goes?

I don’t have the books and won’t for awhile (finances suck, atm) but everybody loves editable character sheets This link will get you the printer friendly character/city sheets from the download section but they are EDITABLE

There you go

@DrkWizard – Most excellent. Thank you, very much.

I need a one-shot adventure using the DFRPG/FATE system plus pregen character. I think it’s crucial for this site to have it as a handout download. Thanks

Thanks Fred! Me and my group is now trying something different…Arkham and Vice City!

As promised, a spanish translation of the sheets. Crappy quality? Yes (I did this with a pdf image extractor and GIMP), but still useful.

Heya Fred, got a couple of questions for you. First off, what are the names of the fonts you guys used for the handwriting and section headers?

Secondly, any chance a couple of extra pages for the character sheets might be created for the purpose of recording focus/enchanted items and rote spells? I’ve got a couple of spellcasters who could benefit from having those. Thanks~!

just got the books and our sity is going to be New Orleans ” SHADOWS AND VAILS ” and working the city up to go with our old Mage/CoC campaign.

Hello. I was just wanting to ask a few questions… I’ve recently downloaded the character sheet off this site, and have been looking for an interactive sheet for the longest time, to make it easier for my players. After not being able to find one, i recently just decided to try my hands at making one…

My question is, may I have permission to alter and redistribute the Evil Hats pdf character sheet? Do i need to ask this question on a different location? And by redistribute, I of course mean non-profit. I’d give it to my players first, to test run it, see what I can do to make it better, then probably upload it here, if people were interested in using it.

M’kays, thank you very much ^^ I’ll be sure to post it up whenever I finish it.. Hope some other people will get a decent amount of use out of it..

I have to agree with Kat O’Brian. I love the sheets, but there’s a bunch of extra stuff that goes into making a functional wizard and there’s nowhere to record all of it on the sheet! Rote spells, focus items, enchanted items, specializations… There’s a shifter sheet and a hunger stress sheet. Can we get a wizard sheet up in here?

@fred
I’d love to see a two-page sheet for wizards, currently it ends up being (at least) a second page anyway, just hand-written or typed. I don’t think I’d use a character sheet with everything crammed into one page, that would just be ugly. Both to look at and to use.

Sponsored casters might want a place to track sponsor debt, if that doesn’t get in everybody else’s way.

looks good, fred.
you condensed much information on one sheet – great! looks well arranged.

thanks!

give me a few days and i’ll make the spell casting sheet form fillable.

question would people like this sheet as a 1 page pdf or bundled in with the normal 2 page Dresden files sheets?

finished the formfillable spellcaster sheet and fred has tossed it up, if there is anything wrong or would work better on the sheet let me know and i can change it

Beautiful work, @Fred! It’s exactly what I was looking for!

hey @Fred – I’ve created some worksheets to make the creation of spells easier on the fly. They’re designed to be printed out and filled in. Please note, I haven’t playtested them, so I’d love some feedback.

thanks josh, they look very good.

I have taken a look at the game it seems to have some rather fun aspects to it, and I absolutely enjoyed the books.
I have not use the system it’s based off of though so what is your version of a handbook to which I can start with and from there suggestions of order to progress.
Also is there a good DM fan site with interesting posted data on suggestion for story line or modifications I could visit whale I get into the swing of things.

@Joshua Turton : Those sheets look sweet! Thanks for sharing them. I’ve tried to construct some spells using them and found them extremely useful.

I do, however, have a couple of questions regarding the Thaumaturgy Worksheet:
1) Conjuration: Where does the x10 multiplier for Quantity come from? I’m guessing it’s an average/recommended value.
2) Transformation: What is the “Multiple Tags” label for? I still don’t get it -although it might be something obvious that I’m just missing-.

@Gilberto Leon – Thanks! answers to your questions are below.

1) it’s based on the passage from YS274; it’s kind of a rough guideline. It notes that one of something is pretty easy; creating enough frogs to overrun a park is about +6 – which I figure would be about 1000 frogs, more or less. So, roughly, every x10 is +2. I altered it a little to try and make it more clear, and reuploaded to my site. I also added titles so that you can tell them apart when printed. Links are above.

2) There’s a passage on YS265 which explains that: “If the intent is to create a temporary aspect that can be tagged more than once (remember that normally you’d only get the benefit of the tag once and have to invoke after that), simply chain two or more maneuvers together in the same spell, each inflicting the same aspect or a similar variant. In other words, if you want to take advantage of two tags against a target of Good Conviction, you’ll need to set up two
maneuvers, for a minimum complexity of 6 (3 for each, as per above). As wizards are usually
low on fate points, this option allows you a little more mileage without having to worry about
impacting your fate point budget.”
