Playtesting Vandeala
Been working on Vandeala for 12 years. Finally becoming serious about making this game public. I am still in the playtesting phase as the rules has been recently changed. I moved to Edmonton, Alberta and now I have the motivation of finally completing this and making something of this.
Introduction to Vandeala
Vandeala is mainly based on a city within the northwest region of North America. The City is called Vandeala, and holds millions of people. It is one of the largest cities in the world. City is based in the United American Canadian States (U.A.C.S), Vandeala being its own state due to the mass.
This game is based the future (year is the idea 2300's) or futuristic setting after an apocalyptic war or beforehand. The main optional introduction is after the apocalypse war called “The Great Darkness”.
200 years ago the superpowers of the world launched a great war on each other using a mix of chemical, electro-wave and nuclear weapons. This was predicted to be the war to end all wars as only a few days into it most of the worlds population was cleared off the planet. The sky went black and for many years later giving the name of the war.
The survivors were affected by these weapons, mutating and changing into different creatures. The mutation helped open some being the ability to use a lost part of the brain that allowed them to use magic. Others their skins became tough and sometime extra limbs such as horns or sharp teeth began to develop. Some were immune to the changes and remained as human as they always were. It took years after the mutations before people accepted them and tried to find safety or to find a place which was radiation and disease free. This wanderlust ended and hence started the City of Vandeala.
The city of Vandeala can become whatever your mind wishes it to be, in fact you can make many towns all called something different or not use this introduction at all and start the character in a baron wasteland looking for other survivors. The choice is given to the GM to use these rules as they wish but this environment works is how the game works the best in.

Hello Jason and welcome to the Forge!
Nice to see such a big project come to fruition! Since you've been playtesting the game, could you please give us a description of an actual session that you enjoyed? Include some detail about the people who play, how the rules were used and what happened in the fiction. That'd be very interesting!
