Playtester Begging
While people seem to be begging for playtesters at the moment, I'd like to renew my plea for playtesters for Unsung. The new girlfriend moving in and the holidays have slowed down my own playtesting a touch, plus I need to know how clear it is in its current form for other groups before I start modifying it...

This looks absolutely fascinating, but I'm not sure if I could rustle up any players willing to actually play the game. It's hard enough to corral a small group to go on a dungeon crawl. If I throw them a bleak scenario set during Der Kessel in Stalingrad meant to illustrate the utter degradation of man during war...I don't know how that would go over.
Assuming I could get something going, are you looking for particular modes of play/group sizes/thematic explorations, or do you want a general "shake this baby and see if any bits fall out" playtest?

And it doesn't have to be as bleak as it sounds. Try it with rookie cops on their first day on the job -- plenty of room for Lapses, but not exactly Bertolt Brecht...

Well, you know you've got a playtester living 250 yards from you, if you're running a session. :)
