Oh Rae, you're so screwed
As I get closer to finishing the Dresden Files for the third time I can’t help but reflect on my Dresden Files RPG, and just how screwed my character is.
(A little bit of background, the setting is Charlotte, SC. Rae Lawrence is the owner of the Stars and Scones a local coffee shop. She is an minor practitioner, who makes coffee potions, using powerful positive memories, as the spirit base. She is terminally chipper, and lives for brightening the lives of those around her. As part of our setting, our GM has featured the Spring and Fall Fairie courts (with Oberon and Puck as two of the major players). Rae has gotten into some deep shit with them as of late)
Over the course of 6 sessions she has:
1.) Lied directly to the Spring lady, and now owes her a favor
2.) Lost contact with the Wizard of Charlotte (and although that’s not directly her fault the Wardens seem to think so
3.) Claimed a human, putting her under her protection, in front of Oberon and Puck.
4.) Made a promise to another fairie, which has thus gotten her in trouble with the Wardens.
5.) Asked another player to use their Wizards sight, and inadvertantly made them look upon a half red court Vampire.
Every interaction Harry has with either Mab, Lea, or anyone from Fairie for that matter, sends anxiety through me. And I say to myself “seriously you can learn from this”.
But I’ve had so much fun Role-playing Rae, screwups and all. I can’t wait for the season finale next weekend. Has anyone else done a Dresden Campaign? Have you done something/made a decision so spectacularly terrible that you’re groaning about it for days afterward?
