Playtesters for Ember

[JohnG]

I haven't posted here in a long time ever since I first posted my ideas for my RPG Ember, now I'm back and ready to take one more very important step forward.  Playtesting!

Interested in a dark fantasy world where those few who dare leave the city walls rarely return, whether it be day or night?  Where mankind has turned on itself and warlords seek to slaughter those few noble kings who remain and claim their lands?  Maybe the idea of a world devastated and ruined, where magic is so difficult to control that a simple improperly spoken word of power can unleash an arcane storm that lays waste to everything for miles.

If you're interested in a little post-apocalyptic fantasy roleplay where freedom is a precious commodity and trust practically unheard of, then please PM me.  This is the first of three games that I will be playtesting in the near future, all of which are past the first draft stage.  A reliable and productive group of playtesters will likely be invited to all the playtests.

I am likely going to run this playtest on OpenRPG but I am open to other mediums if anyone can reccomend one.  Please PM me quickly, I've been working a long time and can not move forward until I complete this small but important step!

Hey, I'm in, definitely the kind of mood I'm sometimes looking for in fantasy. I also already have OpenRPG, seems like a viable platform for playtesting with. Who else is in?

Hey, I heard you plea on the first thoughts page.

But I have to say, I'm not interested in whether you suck or not - that makes it sound like your the source of entertainment.

What can I actually do with the rules in the game? If I find what I can do with the rules (or what I can try to do) interesting, using the system will be my source of entertainment. Right now the only way to get into the game is by accepting you as the (only) source of fun. So what can I do with the mechanics?

Heh, can't blame me for asking for what I want (to know), can ya?

Well Callan,

To be honest it's the first playtest so I'm just trying to gather people who can help me determine exactly that.  We're in the rough draft phase, just far enough in the process for me to feel comfortable letting people try out the setting and system.
