I was confused because they show up as links, complete with my mouse pointer changing when I mouse over them.

The links to pages in other books don’t link through — no way to be sure if or where the other file is, so there was no point in putting them in (not that I think the software *knows* how to put them in).

The forum seems to not exist at this moment, so I’ll ask my question here:

The PDFs for the books have page hyperlinks. The ones within each book work for me. I can also click on links that claim to go to pages in the other book, but they don’t do anything for me. What needs to happen for them to work? Do I need to rename my PDFs?

Re the Jade Court vampires: I’ve got no idea what Mr. Butcher may have in mind for the JCV, but for the adventure I’m designing I’ve decided that Ayn Rand’s ‘banality of evil’ definitely applies.
The JCV are the most subtle and pervasive of vampires. They are everywhere that bureaucracy can screw up the plans and dreams of mortals, everywhere that corruption can rot moral fiber. Wherever greed and avarice are seeded, the JCV are the gentle rain that nourishes their growth.
If government regulations relating to a given process or issue are mutually contradictory, preventing anything getting done, the JCV had a hand in drafting them.
If funds meant for charitable work are diminished by bribery and mis-appropriation, if shipments of goods sent to relieve suffering are stolen, a Jade Court vampire is feeding on the resulting anguish.
Anywhere someone is lying awake at night, sick at heart with worry about the morrow (underwater with a mortgage, falsely accused and/or convicted of a crime he/she did not commit, living/working in a toxic or exploitive environment because the ability to escape the conditions does not exist, brutally forced into prostitution), a member of the Jade Court is feeling satiated.
Jade Court vampires do not start Ponzi schemes or engage in political graft. They just whisper in the ears of those who do, knowing that when schemes collapse, they will be there to harvest the despair of the victims.
They generally do not commit crimes themselves: financial gains they win, if any, are merely incidental to the manipulated angst that they must have in order to survive.
They are everywhere. Lawyers, bankers, religious leaders, bookies, government clerks. They work beside you, live near you, sit beside you (or behind you …). Even other vampires are the Jade Court’s prey. They are the hardest to recognize, to truly identify; the Sight merely shows a slight grayness about them. They do not look monstrous to anything less than a Soulgaze.
Conversely, they are the easiest to kill. Any weapon that can kill a mortal can kill a Jade Court vampire. The problem afterward is proving that it was a justified homicide: the corpse is just like a mortal’s dead body, too. All the weight of the law will be against you.
As parasites go, they are one that we just have to live with. After all, when you look at your reflection in the mirror, is it a Jade Court vampire looking back?

I’m looking for a group to play Dresden Files in person. My regular gaming group has slowly moved further and further away, so as of a couple of weeks ago it is too far for us to meet anymore. I live in Maryland on the Eastern Shore and am looking for players from the Maryland and Delaware parts of the Eastern Shore. If anyone lives close enough just message me and we can start working out where to meet and things like that when we get enough people.

I have a account on the Jim-butcher website forum and a post like this you can read and click my name to send me a message. Acid Relic

Thanks

AcidRelic

P.S. I’m more of a player than a GM so would like someone to take GMing duty.

I’ve never played an RPG, but I want to play this so bad as I’m a huge fan of the Dresden Files. Is there possibly any way to play this game on the internet? Or is there anyone in the range of Iowa or South Dakota I may speak to about it?

@Eric Crabtree , it's not a priority for us right now, and when we've dug into the cost issues it's looked like we couldn't easily achieve a price point we're actually happy with.

What’s the chances of getting some Dresden Fate Tokens. Denarius style. Anything us fans can do to help make it happen?

The die in question is a red one. I'll try the hobby knife approach and see if I can do it without marring the surface. I knew the dice would be in short supply...I'm just happy you were able to make some at all!@fred
