Mad Science

[Deesix]

I'm beginning a rather insane homebrew system nicknamed Mad Science. It's a bit of a pet project, experimenting with some new design ideas. Combination dice-pool and bonus system. No classes, only Stats, Skills, and Traits. Inventions are prominent, and it's...sort of weird on a lot of things. I'm just checking if there is interest; I'm looking for playtesters.

Here's the stats and beginning races, and a skill list. Keep in mind, all things are working names at this point:
Human: Cost 0
Str. 1.9
Fort. 1.9
Agi. 1.9
Dex. 1.9

You'll notice the decimal places in stats; those are important.
The whole numbers essentially mean extra dice rolled and added to the total (So, a 2.0 would be 2d6). Every decimal that is divisible by 3 also gives a bonus (1.3, 1.6, and 1.9 would give 1d6+1, 1d6+2, and 1d6+3 respectively).
Skills also add a flat bonus.

Alright, if I get no responses today I'll try somewhere else.

[GoC]

It's interesting but most of us don't know how to review new systems and are very D20 centric. Sorry but it may be best to take this to a forum more experienced in multiple gaming systems.

[Deesix]

You know, you're probably right. Thanks. Here I was thinking it just looked incredibly boring... Ah well.
