Dresden Files, Finally ran a full chapter Options

[Redjack]

Last year we bought both Dresden Files books at Gen Con. There was a gentleman running pickup games being referred from the Evil Hat Productions booth and we contacted him and got in a game. One of the features of the game is to create a framework for your character and "discover" the rest of your character as you play.

Last fall I tried to run a game and really didn't feel that it went all that well. I started with a small group, but my story line was just 'go with the flow' and 'make it up as I go along'. With most of my players not understanding a lot about Dresdenverse and me really weak on the rules, we kinda ended in the middle of a chapter.

Ran again last night. This time I fleshed out three characters with strong back stories and a story centered around the characters. In each scene we learned a bit about the rules and used that in the next scene. By the end of the night, we had a good time and I felt much better about my grasp of the rules.
