Hey folks! We’ve had our heads down & nose to the grindstone for a while, trying to deal with the Dresden Files RPG Entropy Curse Effect (more on that in a later post) and watching the Burning Alpha play itself out.
That said, we wanted to call your attention to a series of podcasts over on Narrative Control. These guys were part of the Burning Alpha and give the game some good attention. (That said, a lot of our playtesters got caught up in city creation more than anticipated — something we’re working on in our current revisions — so you’ll be seeing a fair amount of that in this round, too.)
Here’s a guide to the Dresden Files Burning Alpha episodes on Narrative Control:
Title: Episode 3: City Creation – Part 1

Fred Hicks has started a new podcast called “The Butcher Block”:
http://butcherblock.libsyn.org/
… it’s going to be a show all about things Jim Butcher, as well as things Jim’s fans might find cool. Since Fred is one of the authors working on the Dresden Files RPG, you can expect some RPG tidbits will get spilled there in the coming months, as well as chat about the upcoming Dresden Files TV series on the Sci Fi channel.
This first episode runs just six minutes long. Subscribe and give it a listen!
