High Quality Role Playing

[benlehman]

I wrote a game, it's for a contest but it's a good game (story of my life.) It's called High Quality Role Playing, and it's ... like %50 old-school D&D and %50 something else which I'm not sure even exists yet.

You can download a playtest version here. If you do, you should read it! If you're interested, you should play it! It's a pretty easy game to get started playing, I think, particularly if you're already familiar with RPGs.

Oh, two more questions:

1. Have you played it yourself yet?

2. If I convince my group to playtest it, what kind of feedback are you looking for?

1) Nope. In Taiwan, no gaming group.

2) Play the game and note the failure points that you have. Try to play past the failure points but if you can't go on, stop.

First, present that to the designer: we had a failure point when a, b and c happened.

Then, speculate as to the possible causes: maybe it was rule q, or maybe it was a combination of s and t, or maybe bob was just having a bad day.

Finally, and segregated from the rest, give your mechanical suggestions: replace rules a and b with rules x and y, add rule z.
