[Caper!] Call for play reviews

Just in time for a new Fall tv season featuring shows like 'Smith', 'The Nine', and 'The Knights of Prosperity'...

I have written a role playing game called Caper: A Game of Pros and Cons. It is a shared narration storytelling game in which the players take turns telling the story of a heist or a con in the tradition of a Hollywood caper movie. It went through several rounds of playtesting, and I got some great feedback-- one of the playtesters thought it was "the most fun he's had gaming in forever."

I have now published Caper and I am looking to get the word out!

Caper uses a mechanic I've created called the 21 System, which uses playing cards and poker chips. I set out to create rules that allow the players to create the twists, turns and reveals of a caper flick in a game, and as the playtests have shown, I think I have succeeded pretty well.

I am selling downloadable and print edition Caper at Lulu.com/21system, but I have come here to make an offer- I will email a free copy of the .pdf rulebook to the first three people who agree to run a session and write a review and a summary of game play here on The Forge! I'm THAT confident that your gaming group will have as much fun spinning their own heist yarn as the playtest groups did!

Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you!
