This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

[Corporia] Playtesters needed!

I'm in need of some playtesters to crunch some rules (or rule some crunch) in my Corporia RPG draft. Math has never been my strongest subject, and I could really use some number-crunchers to make sure my combat/monsters/other rules aren't way off base. I've already got some good playtesters giving feedback on theme and general rules and such, but I'd love to get some playtesters who really understand numbers.

The system is rules-medium, but (hopefully) not complex, and (again, hopefully) fairly fast and cinematic. Rolls are usually [ability + skill + high roll on 2d6] vs TN, or vs opponent's roll in combat. Armor reduces damage, but makes you slower and easier to hit. If the final damage result is greater than a particular ability score, you suffer a wound. When the number of wounds reaches a certain score, and you're down but not out. Take one more wound and you're out - and will die within a certain amount of time if not healed.

Here's one of my older blog posts that details a bit of the setting:

I'll provide playtesters with a link to a private folder where I have the draft PDFs. The design and writing isn't completely finished, so comments on that will be appreciated, but my main concern now is the numbers.

You can email me at (remove the spaces): consulting designer @ gmx.com

In the email, please provide me with some background on your gaming experience. I want serious testers, not just people who want to read a book!  Obviously, I'll make sure you get credited and at least a PDF copy of the final book.

Thanks!
