I The Hell Am Harry

Given the Nickelheads' reputation as one of the only major supernatural groups that regularly go back on their word, who on earth (or outside it) was dumb enough to sponsor them into the Unseelie Accords? And why hasn't Mab gone after them more for breaking those accords?

Hold that thought.

Had Lash not killed herself for you, but you had survived, do you think you could have convinced her to become completely separated from the real Lasciel, if so, do you think you could ever get used to having a benevolent demon floating around in your thoughts?

Thu, 16 May 2013 18:47:27 -0500

I have enough demons floating around in my thoughts without someone implanting one for me.

Dresden

Hey, Game Nerds, think you know me? Prove it!

Our pals at Evil Hat are updating my statblock for the upcoming PARANET PAPERS, and they’re looking for assistance from people like you. Details on the contest: http://www.evilhat.com/home/the-trouble-with-a-well-known-character-statblocking-contest/.

Pass it around, share it, and make me look good. I know, that’s not an easy job, but if it was easy, we wouldn’t need smart people like you doing it.

If the Shroud of Turin and Swords of the Cross are floating around, are other divine artifacts like the Holy Grail and Spear of Destiny around too? Do any of them have mantles like the Knight tied to them?

Sun, 12 May 2013 21:10:43 -0500

Bet anything that other artifacts are around of any number of faiths, sure.

As for the mantles of faith…yeah, interesting idea and one that makes sense. The Knights clearly have some supercharged stuff going on from time to time that Michael would say comes from the Almighty and Sanya might say comes from Archangels or Little Green Aliens From Mars, depending on his mood. Bears more thought.

The idea of mantles of faith, that is. Not Sanya and his little green men. That guy has issues.

How do you know so many tv references? Don't electronics go Crazy Harry when they're around you, Not-Quite-So-Crazy-Harry?

Sun, 12 May 2013 20:53:04 -0500

Electronics go Crazy Harry (nice reference, by the way) when Not-Quite-So-Crazy-Harry is pissed off. (Which, yeah, happens more than I’d like to think it does.) Logically, if wizards screwed up electronics any time we were around them, light bulbs would blow and sparks would fly whenever we walked down the street. We’d be the least popular people alive.

I’m pretty sure that distinction goes to Congress.

Dresden

Can you shed light on who the Queen fanatic is: Thomas or Molly? Because "We Will Rock You" was genius and it made me literally fistpump at the restaurant where I was having breakfast. Zero craps were given to the looks I got. Thanks!

Sat, 11 May 2013 19:08:52 -0500

We’re all Queen fans, man. And that moment was made for fistpumping. Badassery at its finest.

Dresden

Hypothetically speaking, if one was to break the seventh law, how would they go about it? Where would they start? And how would they avoid the Council's gaze for long enough to make use of the information, assuming they are currently a "vanilla" mortal and under the paranormal radar?

Sat, 11 May 2013 19:07:48 -0500

Not even hypothetically speaking, Justin DuMorne and Cowl at least broke the hell out of that law by getting Walkers here. How you learn to summon Outsiders I have no idea.

Well, I have SOME idea.

Actually, I have a pretty damned good idea.

Look, can we just forget this question?

Dresden

Have you ever heard about that witch, Rachel Morgan? She, too, has a vampire friend, issues with authority and a great deal of sass. Thoughts?

Sat, 11 May 2013 19:01:05 -0500

I think I’d just prefer not to cross her. Like, ever. Not only does Rachel seem to bend the magic rules even more than I do, her vampire pal Ivy’d probably carve my heart out. Hyper-protective vampires are scary, man.

Dresden

Harry, have you read any manga or watched any anime, as I am assuming that you would be in your geeky element with either of those things. Plus inspiration for creative uses of magic are abound within them.

Sat, 11 May 2013 18:56:44 -0500

I bend more to American comics world than manga and anime. May sound Strange (see that? Doc Strange reference) but it’s true.

Dresden

What the anon talking about your mother doesn't realize is that "le Fay" is just a title. Even though the leader of the White Council is called the Merlin, it doesn't make him Merlin's reincarnation, right?

Sat, 11 May 2013 18:50:50 -0500

Maybe in the Merlin’s dreams.

Dresden

How many on Will's electronics did you fry when you found out that he had published the DF RPG behing your back? Or did he accuqire a water cooled computer that is at least partially immune to you?

Fri, 10 May 2013 19:51:27 -0500

Let’s put it this way…he has a special bulk discount at Best Buy now.

Dresden

So what was it like being reborn into the Winter Knight? Besides for Mab's crazy boot camp and the increase of power. Also do you you'll ever be able to learn how to actually communicate with mouse without Molly's aid?

Fri, 10 May 2013 19:50:15 -0500

You mean, what’s it like fighting the mantle’s influence all the time and wanting to go all Dark Side when I see a gorgeous girl or someone cuts me off in traffic?

And Mouse and I communicate fine, damn it.

Dresden

Have you ever thought of doing more of a crossover type of thing? Such as helping Mercy Thompson with some of her problems up in Washington, perhaps? Letting Billy show Adam exactly how shifting is done? Maybe seeing how Lea (or Mab, or actually Molly if I think about it) and Zee would get along? Not that I haven't thought at all about this or anything...

Fri, 10 May 2013 19:46:51 -0500

I dunno, man. I feel like I barely have control of my life as it is.

Mercy is pretty cool, though.

Dresden

Would you ever accept the mantle of Blackstaff if offered?

Tue, 07 May 2013 20:18:38 -0500

Uh.

Hell, NO.

Dresden

Do you ever miss Lasciel? Or rather, her shadow? Because you did (almost) convert her to the good side, and she WAS quite helpful. Does the fact that she killed herself for you make you sad?

Tue, 07 May 2013 20:17:40 -0500

Does it make me sad? I know everyone thinks I’m going to turn into a monster, but I’m not one yet, damn it.

YES, it makes me sad.

Dresden

If you could get out of the business, miraculously, memory of magic events erased but still maintain the relationships with people close to you, would you?

Tue, 07 May 2013 19:05:36 -0500

That is almost the equivalent of selling my soul for happiness.

Dresden

Between your duster, staff, blasting rod, shield bracelet, Blue Beetle, and pentacle amulet, which one do you miss the most?

Tue, 07 May 2013 19:04:34 -0500

My dog and cat.

Dresden

Hey Harry, who's your favorite Star Wars character?

Sun, 05 May 2013 18:44:35 -0500

Got this and the Trek question together. Weird.

Princess Leia in the gold bikini. Hands down.

Dresden

Ever seen Star Trek of any sort? Who's your favorite character?

Sun, 05 May 2013 18:44:05 -0500

Khan. Because…why not?

Dresden

@legendgerry here, what happened to the water cooled computer idea?

Sun, 05 May 2013 18:42:52 -0500

Will nixed it after I accidentally turned the water to boiling steam.

It was an accident.
