Play testers! Where?
Hay all. got guided her from the Goblins comic forum.
I was wondering, do any of you know off of a good side with people who’d like to play test a PnP. Serious people who’d give good feedback, and follow along in the process?
Well first, a little about the project.
My wife, a group of friends and I have been working on a RPG PnP system for the near of 3 years, now it has reached the point where I have actually hired an artist to start doing some art for it.
When more of the rules have been written, and tested more, the next point is to hire an Editor to go over and re-work the whole thing, why?
Well, first off, it’s always good to have e pro go over your stuff. 2nd as you can properly see I spell like S”#¤. As sadly, I suffer from Dysgraphia (I think that’s the right word in English.. it’s similar to dyslexia, except that I can read just fine), and English isn’t my first language. So I use word and other spelling programs to the best of my abilities. But still I miss a lot of stuff.
So what am I looking for, well, I’m looking for groups of people willing to try out my system, come with feedback, not break their neck on bad spelling, and generally just to tell me if I’m doing a okay job. Before I go spend a lot of money on some editor work, as all the founding comes out of our own pockets, and art by itself is costly, but worth it. (and the guy doing the art for me gave me a winner price. So I can’t complain.
There are still a lot of stuff to add to the book, but most of it is flavor text and extra abilities and monsters, spells and so one. The rules them self are in place (but need more testing by different people).
All play testers will of cause have to sign an NDA and in general accept to the copyright of any things found within the document.
So… do you guys know any place, any one or are you’re self interested?
If you are intrested. PM me your email, and ill send you the NDA
Again, thanks a lot, good future and all that..

Re: Play testers! Where?
No reactions?
Well... i gues ill post a litle about the system... just before ill need necromancy to resurect it.
First off, what I want tested is more the system then the setting, but a setting will accompany.
The system is D6 based, but not all that standard. (simple enough do)
It uses some Attributes, skills and abilities, combined with a roll of a set of D6’s
The setting is Fantasy, not unlike DnD. But with exceptions.
First off, you only select a class, not a race. As all player characters are Human (in the standard edition that is)
Classes gets some specific stats, and some chosen.
There are a leveling system. Where the character increase in power each level, and gain additional power at a set interval of levels.
The progression of powers are low. So that even level 1 characters have a chance against high level ones (albeit small)
The four classes are Hunter, Mage, Rogue and Warrior.
aaaand, here is the character sheet
At base I think that’s all I can say out of the blue, without people agreeing to the NDA.
But feel free to ask, worst I can say is noting
What I want is not to run a game online or local… but to allow other groups to play, and test the game… in return for some feedback if they have any… but on obligations of work and/or payment are made by agreeing to the NDA.
I hope this clears things up a bit.

Re: Play testers! Where?
I might be interested in this, although I have a question before I say yes or no...
What do you mean by an NDA?Avatar courtesy of Ceika.

Re: Play testers! Where?
NDA = Non disclaimer agreement.
Simply put.. Its just that you say yes to that all the things I sent you is mine… that you can’t earn money on it, that you can’t post the rules without my permission and such…
It mostly just says that what are in the text is hush hush and copyrighted… you can still play it by post or with others… the rules are just not to be reprinted or repost. (simply to secure from theft)
If you are still interested, send me your email by PM and ill send you the NDA to read trough and confirm (just rest easy, its short)

Re: Play testers! Where?
Well, I'd be curious to see the system in question. I'm a casual system designer and used to be an avid (and skilled) 3.5 homebrewer, and my current area of interest is system design and the philosophy thereof (why we make certain choices in certain game styles). I'd be happy to take a look.
Information PM'd to you.
Ingredients
2oz Djinn
5oz Water
1 Lime Wedge
Instructions
Pour Djinn and tonic water into a glass filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Garnish with lime wedge. Serve.
