In a game set “ten years into the future” what are some narrative techniques to explain away the lack of significant tech advances? It seems that the point of a "ten years into the future" timeline is exactly so that there isn't great change. It takes 10 years or more for a cutting-edge technology to go mainstream, so anything you've never heard of today is still experimental, and anything you'd like to make ubiquitous is, but nothing has to be. The reason is that it takes time for things to be adopted. |

What alternatives to hit points are there for abstracting wounds? The key to Dresden's non-HP-ness is the consequences -- one your (2-4) stress are used up, you have to start taking consequences, which are aspects, and can be used to influence the outcome in more ways than just absorbing damage. |

Statless & diceless systems Polaris is very close -- the vast majority of the game's action is by the use of ritual phrases. There are stats, but they are more related to the long term story arc than to character skills. |

Character generation for the dresden files “case file” adventures I don't seem to be communicating my question well... I was looking to see if there was a process for this. It looks like the answer is really "There's no process, just make stuff up." The questions get you thinking in the right direction, but there's no process. |

Character generation for the dresden files “case file” adventures Is there no procedure for this? The Full City/Character creation is very procedural -- do this, pick an aspect, do that, pick another aspect. This seems like "throw it all against the wall and see what sticks". |

Character generation for the dresden files “case file” adventures Sure, but what's the process for using the questions? Answer them all and take whatever aspects seem interesting? answer them until everyone has seven aspects? something else? The process is missing, and as we're all first-time fate players, I'm really not sure where to go with it. |

Character generation for the dresden files “case file” adventures But how do you use the questions to add the aspects? It totally wasn't clear to me how to do this. |

How valid is lying to players about the rolls they are making in The Dresden Files? There are many games that put strict definition on the GMs role. "GM tells the story" is a popular assumption, but not an guarantee. |

D&D 4 - does it suffer as much drift / house-ruling as previous versions? (Primarily 3 and 2)vanilla and pervy have been abandoned as terms by their creators, plus do nothing but confuse the issue here. |

What is the full list of official Wizards of the Coast D&D settings? I believe that Blackmoor is part of the Mystara setting in TSR Products. There's a 3rd party book on the original Blackmoor setting, which is different, and I believe portions of it are included in Greyhawk as well. |
