In any case, the guys at Evil Hat have put out a free adventure... er, Casefile for the Dresden RPG. Evil Acts is a one-shot adventure. You'll need the core book to run it, but it should be a good way to introduce it to a group, run at a game night or even a con.
From the blurb:
The play's the thing... or is it? Something fishy is going on at the local playhouse. A production of the Tempest has a bigger budget than makes sense -- and some surprising special effects. Could it be that there's something more to this than the grand final retirement performance of a talented actor? Lord, what fools these mortals be!
Evil Acts is a Dresden Files RPG casefile, a one-shot mystery-adventure intended for 3-6 characters at the "Chest-Deep" power level. Customizable, pregenerated characters, a mix of mortals, practitioners, and more, are provided with sheets and power details.
Whether as performers, audience members, or something else, the characters are drawn into a complicated web of theatrical sleight-of-hand and supernatural power politics. Will they unravel the mystery of Prospero's performance before the final curtain? Or will it be curtains for everyone?
Together with a copy of The Dresden Files RPG: Your Story, Evil Acts is perfect for a "test drive" at home, or for a convention GM looking for a print-and-play scenario.
Thanks for the review, I have read all the Dresden books and bought both books earlier this year. I don't know if I am sold on the fate system, but the sure like the setting and FATE seems to lend itself to more role and less roll. The books only get better wait until book 3!
