D&D 4e Playtesters Required

Dave McAlister — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 08:15:32 +0000

Sceaptune Games are looking for playtesters for the more challenging supplements they’re producing. It involves playing with the new classes, equipment, monsters and scenarios that appear in their supplements, seeing how they feel and making sure that odd results are dice-dependent rather than a result of the supplement itself. They are looking for basic feedback as well as anything specific that turns up (e.g “I’d never choose this power” or “I’d ALWAYS choose this power”, both of which are uncomfortable extremes).

If you’re interested, do get in touch, either via PM or email or via our website. Let them know whether you’d be playing or running (as a GM) and how much 4e, D&D and general roleplaying experience you have, and if you are a GM who you’d be inviting to play their stuff with.

As common with much playtesting, testers get a free PDF of the finished product and an acknowledgement. The formalities are merely that you’ll have to sign a confidentiality agreement or acknowledge you’ve agreed to it. If they have enough playtesters, they’d also open up a yahoo/google group for it, too.

Sundered Space RPG Launched - Free to Download

Dave McAlister — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 16:37:57 +0000

Troopers from five warring factions stranded on the barren world of Tundari, cut off from your mother ships - will you survive? Can you regroup? Will you forge a truce with troopers from the other factions who are trapped on this planet with you? And what of the ancient secrets of the Xen race which once inhabited Tundari? This exciting new RPG from the creator of traditional fantasy RPG Omnifray uses a simple mix-and-match character generation system, five core stats and a d10+stat v. d10+stat core mechanic. Don your all-environments carapace and your hover pack, adjust your energy shield settings, pick up your plasma blast rifle, stride forth, explore and do battle!

Sundered Space is in its alpha playtest edition (version 1.1) following its recent debut at Indiecon. Its release via Lulu.com today marks the launch of version 1.1 and the first chance for the general public to acquire a copy of Sundered Space apart from Indiecon itself.

Download for free or if you have £4.95 to spare and are an adult* then purchase it in hard copy, at www.lulu.com/content/4720313

* those under 18 please save your pocket-money and just download it for free

Latest Releases from Arion Games

Dave McAlister — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 14:40:08 +0000

Arion Games is pleased to announce two Paper Miniature releases just before Christmas.

The first is a set of Post-Apocalyptic figures, with road warriors, cops and other strange denizens of a future wasteland. In addition, this set also includes 8 vehicles that travel, and fight on, the long open roads.

The second set is a SciFi Artillery set. Packed with Heavy cannon, tanks, assault aircraft, turrets etc, and complete with 15 engineers to operate them, this set will really beef up the destructive power of your Futuristic army.

Available from our online store, YGN, RPGNow, E23 and Fantasy Download, both are priced at only $3.

SKETCH RPG System available as free download

Dave McAlister — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 15:42:49 +0000

The SKETCH system, a game designed to be adapated to any genre and setting, is now available as a free download from www.farsightgames.com. SKETCH games are designed for one-off, single night adventures, for when gaming groups are taking a break between campaigns, or if a few players want to do a fast off-the-cuff adventure with no intention of getting involved in a long campaign. The simplicity of the rules and character creation is such that a game can be set up in minutes. The rules are easy to use, requiring only the use of a single six-sided dice for all aspects of the game.
