[Issues & Impact] DFW Area Playtesters Wanted
I've just completed principal design of I&I and would like to find 2-3 people to help playtest it. I would like to meet once a week for 1 month, 3-4 hours per session. We can use my place in Bedford (that's mid-cities). Bring $5 for pizza and cokes.
I&I is . . . hard to describe. Finishing out the system is a feature of play. The objective is to follow player approaches, resolving posed dilemmas and settling character issues by leveraging impact. There are no ability scores, no packaged setting, no skills/powers/spells, no equipment lists. Just a highly structured procedure and a single rating per character.
Some wierd things about it: you have to play the bad guys, the players can't start, the GM can't finish, everyone knows everything, nothing's been decided, game elements are communally actionable and roles change.
There is a GM hat. And you do roll dice. It does produce story. Can it be fun? That's what I need help to find out.
