We got some great news over the weekend. In this inaugural year of Board Game Geek’s Golden Geek Awards covering the RPG sector, we had the privilege to be nominated in multiple categories. And this weekend it became official — The Dresden Files RPG has won the 2010 Golden Geek for Best Artwork/Presentation… AND the 2010 Golden Geek for Game of the Year!
We’re beyond thrilled to get this news, and hope it hints at good things in the year to come. Dare we hope for an Origins Award? An ENnie? Fingers crossed!
A rare event! Both Jim Butcher and Fred Hicks get interviewed on The Walking Eye podcast, and talk about the novels, the RPG, and gaming in general. Have a listen!
The limited edition “Wizard” fudge dice are up for preorder on Evil Hat’s web-store!
This is a 12-die set containing four “hellfire” (translucent red with yellow markings), “winter” (translucent blue with white markings), and “ectoplasm” (glow in the dark yellow with black markings) Fudge Dice. You can find more details about ‘em at the product page linked above.
The dice will ship in mid-December, though we can’t guarantee they’ll reach you before Christmas, so do keep that in mind.
(Also, as a fair warning and a bit of pre-disappointment on shipping: it’s entirely likely you’ll find that the shipping prices are a bit high if you’re just buying one set of these and nothing else (domestically it’ll start above $5, internationally it’ll cost way more than that). But we will be making sure that at least some of these sets get out into distribution, so there’s a chance you’ll be able to order them — not yet, but soon! — through your FLGS of choice. All the same, there will only be about 2000 sets of these in circulation, in total.)
Our game is a finalist in the 2010 Golden Geek Awards! Specifically for Game of the Year (alongside the VSCA/Evil Hat Fate game Diaspora, also available on the EH webstore) and Best Artwork/Presentation. Thanks to everyone who voted in the Geeks!

Quickest of status updates! The reprints of the books have arrived at our new warehouse location, so you’ll start to see them back in distribution in general very soon (they’re already with Alliance and will shortly be with Esdevium, ACD, and others). In addition, the Evil Hat webstore is back open for business. Thanks for your patience!
Hi folks!
I wanted to give folks a quick heads up on what I know right now about the book supply. They are definitely still in print and definitely still available to be bought (at least in some places)! We’re getting down to the wire here on supply, but we should be on a good enough footing that we won’t see more than a two week hiccup in availability at any point.
- The reprints of both books (another 4,000 Your Story and another 3,500 Our World) are wrapping up middle of next week and will ship out to our new warehouse operation in Indiana then, which will also supply our primary distributor, Alliance (and from them, other distributors as well). So any current hiccups happening in distribution’s supply chain should not last more than a couple weeks from now. At the outside I’d say expect it to take about three weeks from now for a domestic store that’s placed an order with Alliance to get the books in.
- For direct orders, we are transitioning to a new shipper in Indiana; this means we’re going to have a short time period in which some inventory that hasn’t gotten there yet travels from our current warehouse in Nevada to the new one in Indiana.
- Later tonight we’re going to be switching off the Evil Hat webstore in order to lock things down for our own shipping reality so we can get the remaining supply directly in Evil Hat’s custody from Nevada to Indiana. That’ll take a week or so in all likelihood.
- In the meantime you’ll still be able to buy all of Evil Hat’s PDFs from DriveThruRPG.com and our books from IndiePressRevolution.com — while their supply of DFRPG will be small during the transition period, I do think they will have enough to cover a week or more of current direct-sales demand.
Thanks for sticking with us during our growing pains. While it might not sound like it, we’ve done our best to minimize them as much as is possible.
At the end of the day, the important message is: The books are still in print! The books are still available! If your preferred method of getting the books can’t supply them to you currently, please put them in touch with us, and we will get them straightened out!
