Dresden Files Articles
I’ve received a couple of requests for links to my various articles on The Dresden Files RPG, so I decided to collect the links all in one spot for easy access. It doesn’t include the play reports from my campaigns; just the articles about how the rules work.

Thanks! I really appreciate you doing this. It’s going to be a big help as I read the RPG.
I’ve cloned these links over onto http://www.dresdenfilesrpg.com/downloads/ — great stuff!
Thank You.
Thank you very much for all of these articles, Rick: they’re great resources, and I’ve pointed my players at them as good lead-ins for DFRPG (not to mention scouring them myself for hints on how to run the system).
I will point out a bad link above: “Math and Miscellany: Magic in DFRPG, Part Six” should point to http://www.rickneal.ca/?p=654
Thanks for pointing out the bad link. Should be fixed now.
And I’m glad you’re finding the articles useful.
