Spencer : I do have a question, with all the new books coming out where is your cutoff for including into the world.

We've answered this elsewhere, but I'll answer it here too: the game covers the first ten novels. Our hope is that we've built a game that will let people treat any new novel after that as a sourcebook in its own right, easily (or mostly easily) "statted", but we'll likely host public discussions about adapting other works in the series as they come out, etc.

Hey, love all the work your pumping into this.
I would rather wait for a great play than get one now that isn’t as good as y’all want it.

I do have a question, with all the new books coming out where is your cutoff for including into the world.

Will you make future editions to incorporate new material?
I know you said you only wanted one play book for this game, but is it possible for expansions, and it would be really nice to know how far in the series your game goes.

@Jak Jak
No movie. There was a TV series – pretty good but different to the books in a few regards. Well worth watching, mind. A movie would be cool, though. I’m enjoying the audiobooks – read by James Marsters (Spike from Buffy/Angel and the Other Time Agent from Torchwood Season 2).

I only started reading the books 4 months ago, curently on 8 and just heard about DFRPG earlier today and by what I’ve read sounds amazing. Which makes me wonder why I haven’t heard about a movie (unless I’m out of the loup). It probably would be easy to get action and at least 90 min of video for each of the books and would easily smoke Harry Potter in sales since TDF actually has tons of magic involved, tons more of mistical creatures, has much more action, much cooler main characters, and has a twilight reference in book 6 (for the ladies lol jk). But if there have been any mentions of a movie please contact me asap because we all know it would be the best. I yea email is csiguyjack@yahoo.com

I was introduced to Harry Dresden (the books not the person) in the summer of 2008. I then discovered the Dvd’s from the show, and was really saddened that I had missed the chance to watch the show when it first aired. (Although I will admit the hockey stick still angers me.)And now I have finally discovered that there will be an RPG. My cup overrunneth. I am sorry to hear that there have been so many obsticles on your path to creating this game. Hopefully when it is finished the gratitude from all of us Harry Dresden fans will in some small way make it worthwhile. Have you thought about making a Harry Dresden PS3 game? After all you wouldn’t want to just stop playing with the Harry Dresden universe when the RPG comes out.

I will buy this game the minute I find it on my store shelves, then shout for joy before taking it home! I want it soon, but will force myself to wait while it’s polished and done right…

i agree with marv i believe this game has such potential that it could truely take the rpg world by storm… possibly an online game in time so why rush things and get them all wrong and have to wait longer to get them fixed… if fred says he’s doing his best to get a date for the fans he’s doing his best to get the f’ing date… now this comment isn’t supposed to start a fight between anyone i just find it overwhelmingly rude to make demands on a person or group just because we want what they have now and can’t wait… and yeah i’m a hardcore fan who’s read the dresdenfiles more times than i can count and i still say waiting for something is better because think about it… if we rushed jim butcher in the makings of the dresden files it wouldn’t be the same book that we all knew and loved. So i say to all the fans that read this post wait and be patient the day will come when we will see this game and be ever grateful that they didn’t rush it and that evil hat productions got it right the first time.

I know that I’ve had a good time with playtesting so far, going back to DON’T REST YOUR HEAD and wading through docs for both rounds of alpha testing. The FATE system is an excellent way to portray the Dresdenverse and the DFRPG materials are looking fantastic. As Fred said, there is no advantage in rushing a product just to get something on the shelves, and the added problem is that Jim keeps writing books (as well as short stories) so there is continually more and more material to be considered. DFRPG has the potential to be the best RPG produced in a very long time….

@Dylan, thanks for the vote of confidence! @Zach, non-magical weapons will get a lightweight treatment in the book -- I don't know if we're going to talk about that on the blog, tho, at least not *soon*.
