All That Remains - A Dresden Files Story

All That Remains is an urban fantasy game, focusing on wizards, other practitioners, humans and supernatural creatures living in NYC, who may be faced with dangers and various challenges that come their way in their day to day lives. The game will be based in the Dresden Files Universe/Dresdenverse, after the events that took place in 'Battle Ground'.

TL;DR? Skip to the bottom and read the summary!

SPOILER ALERT! Personally, I don't think you should have to be familiar with the Dresden Files universe or books to play this game; However, if you don't wish to run into spoilers, this is not the game for you. As with all of my games based in an already established universe, I will not require those who are familiar with the series to be careful with what they say around those who aren't- that is way too much work on my end, and is not something I wish to do.

Game Info:
After centuries of laying dormant, the last remaining titan, Ethniu, rose up and laid waste to Chicago. With a massive army of Fomor -sea dwelling creatures who were once signatories of the Unseelie Accords- she waged war on the members of the accorded supernatural nations and entities. Using the Eye of Balor, an ancient and powerful relic, she cut down countless creatures that stood in her way and nearly destroyed Queen Mab, Queen Titania and the god Odin along with them.

Fortunately, she was stopped in her tracks and imprisoned by a crafty wizard, using relics of his own. But, it was too late.

After centuries upon centuries of fading into the shadows and being forgotten by humanity, the supernatural world was ousted in a single night, in one terrible act of violence. The city of Chicago was left in ruins, and everything took a turn for the worse.

Ethniu didn't do any favors for the supernatural nations, in her attempt to retake control of the world. Where human authorities once viewed supernatural occurrences with doubt, they now react with violence, adopting a 'shoot first and don't bother asking questions at all' policy in most cases.

It was once easy to hide from the humans, for a vampire to slink into the shadows with their prey in tow, without being spotted. Now? There are eyes everywhere.

One must avoid attention at all costs, lest they become the next victim of this witch hunt.


Summary:

As I previously mentioned, All That Remains is an Urban Fantasy game based in the Dresdenverse. As with most, if not all, Urban Fantasy, the supernatural population will be well-hidden, attempting to avoid the attention of humanity at large. Characters will need to be able to take on a human facade, if they are not human themselves, to blend in with the citizens of NYC. Humans are precarious creatures, easily spooked, and due to the events mentioned above in the Game Info, humanity is in the process of launching a massive witch hunt. The kind that hasn't been seen since the 1500s.

Players will write for characters that are either participating in, in close proximity to, or attempting to avoid the attention of this witch hunt. Characters will deal with the day to day life in NYC, as well as the aftermath of major events in the supernatural world.

Disclaimer: I, and any other GM(s) that may join in the future, will not lead your character by the nose. If you're looking for a game that is heavily GM centric, this is not the game for you. That being said, I will be writing as some NPC's here and there and will be offering plot hooks, but you will need to be able to write your own story and interact with the other characters on your own for the most part. Do not expect to rely on the GM(s) for everything, we have lives as well and our time is limited, as is the case with most of you.
