Looking for reviews
The new 3rd Edition Immortal RPG is up at the website www.invisiblewar.com. It's a free 248-page PDF e-book available for download from the free downloads area and is looking to pass the game out to all who are interested in giving it a try. This is the same Immortal that was originally put out in 1994, streamlined and cleaned up, and it goes back to the game's core roots from that time; now that the game's original creator has regained the majority ownership, it is pulling away from the "Millennium" version that was put out in 1999 in a bid to get a science-fiction show created by the game's then-publisher Precedence Publishing/Entertainment. The new edition was just released not quite two weeks ago, after 3 years of revamping and pulling everything together from the prior editions into one cohesive edition (This is the first time *all* the core rules are located in one book, unlike the prior Precedence-sponsored editions). Work has already began on the gamemaster's book which is due out sometime early next year.

Re: Looking for reviews
Hi,
I'm ignorant of the Immortal RPG--and perhaps it's well-known and fondly-remembered by many, making this point irrelevant--but you might get a better response if you e-mailed individuals. I never feel much connection to an open-call for reviews. But a message in my box, written to me personally, usually gets much more consideration. Find people who have written other reviews, particularly of games with similar genre/themes/etc. (and liked them). The fact that your product is free makes this probably even more critical, because people seem to show less commitement to a free download than something they had to go out and buy (regardless of cost; it's the active role that matters).
