@Scott Martin - That's funny. Before I found out there was a Dresden RPG in the works I wrote a convention one-shot using Monte Cook's d20 WoD. Bonus, I could throw Michael in as a bog-standard D&D paladin and it worked just fine.

I'm also a huge fan of the series-- and of Harry and other major characters. It feels a lot like a well written version of a World of Darkness game-- and that's a huge complement from me. One of the players in my Mage game played a Hermetic, and eagerly devours each Dresden book when it comes out. I do the same.

I have to agree that the books get better as the series goes on. I'll be writing a brief review of Fool Moon for an upcoming post.

Count me another fan. The series improves a bit as it proceeds, too. Jim Butcher's characters are mostly pretty interesting, and he juggles them well.

I'm a great fan of these books, too. Read 'em all. I was lucky enough to meet Jim Butcher a couple of years ago at Fencon in Dallas. He's a great guy. And yes, I put in an application with the guys over at Evil Hat to play test the upcoming RPG. That's going to be great game when it comes out.

A friend of mine loaned my his Dresden Files DVDs. I really enjoyed the short-lived TV series, mostly for the characterization of Dresden as a regular guy who just happens to be a wizard. That, and I tend to be a fan of urban fantasy. Now I just need to find the time to read the books...

I agree that these books are not exactly complex literature, but they are no less fun to read because of it. I'm an avid follower of the Dresden Files series. I actually contacted the Dresden Files RPG guys about my group being playtesters for their game so maybe that will pan out.
