Invitation to play Century's Edge

Hello Forgites!
I wanted to invite all interested parties to download the quick play demo of my game, Century's Edge.  It is an adventure/RPG game set in the late Victorian Era, that intermixes real history and 19th century fiction (heavily saturated with influences from Vernes, Poe, Doyle, and Haggard).  It has a unique mechanic and great character generation (though that isn't part of the quick play demo).  So far, the game's been tested by others, but I've come to realize it has never been ran by a "narrator" who didn't first play it as a "player."  Anyhow, I am interested in seeing if someone totally unfamiliar to it can read these 16 pages and make a go of it.  The quick play game only takes about 1-2 hours to run through (its just a simple scenario and not a full-length adventure).  I think most of you will really enjoy this, and I would be more than glad to test any system any of you have need of testing (my test play group includes 8 gamers varying in age from 46 to 14 with a variety of "player types" and backgrounds.  I also have a smaller sub-set test group of all adult, veteran gamers who like to run one-shot "out of print" or "Indie" games)  Let me know what you think after the test...  Or even after just "thumbing through" the rules.  Just go to www.centurysedge.com (or if the site is too new for your service provider, go to www.wholesumentertainment.com) and click on the Quick Play Rules logo/speech bubble.  Thanks to all of you for all the advice all these years.  Hope you have fun...

I originally posted this in "Playtesting" (after apparently mis-reading the rules for connections), but now that I've got on to post an appolgy, I see that the response is heading toward connections...  I don't know what's going on, but it looks like all is cool.  Sorry if this ends up in the wrong place...  "Uh.. Had a slight weapons malfunction, but everything's perfectly alright now. We're fine, we're all fine, here, now, thank you. How are you?...”
