    Yes, it certainly does have Butcher's permission. It has for a long time.

    Yes, which means I'll take a pass on this. If I'm playing a game that's set in a fantasy type world I want to see shit blowing up, call me close minded but still....

    Wow. Fail, fuubar. Ultrafail.

    EDIT: I also want to see New Orleans Dresdenified. Say what you will about Louisiana, that's still an interesting city in its own right.

    Looks like its a D&D style thing. I guess it looks interesting, but not my thing.

    Explain.

    I disagree with you and don't like something that you do so I fail? Right... go fuck yourself.

    No, it's more a "Shiny graphics make everything okay" mindset that I have a problem with.

    Plus, y'know, I'm always right, so disagreeing with me means that you're wrong. :p

    I just can't get into pen and paper RPGs. I feel fucking stupid playing it. Magic TG I could stand drunk off my ass, but I felt stupid sober, even when I was winning money playing it at school, heh.

    Now that said i used to NWN my ASS off when the game first came out.

    Rofl, I didn't mean it quite like that, it was meant more as a lame ass joke. Like Middy said the Pen 'n Paper games just aren't my thing.

    This reminds me of that time with the RPG here and how certain Harry Potter characters trolled it to death. ;)

    I dunno there have been so many movie to video games out there that have been full of epic failure that I'd be rather skeptical of it.

    So basically, you'd want to see a Dresden Files MUD?

    Sounds pretty cool actually. Considering how the world is set out it would be perfect for that kind of game, which is probably why it's becoming a D&D style one now that I think about it.

    There's a good load of races you can pick from, the magic system is pretty kick ass, it's set in Chicago so you'll have any number of areas to venture through... Yeah, it could actually work.

    Shame it takes a fuck load of work to make one of those, otherwise I might try it.

    I intend to buy these, if only for the background material on the Dresden Files that they're gonna have.
