Polaris Needs You

As I just posted on the Forge, Polaris is nearing completion, and now I need help from other people.

In short, I need -- playtesters, layout guy, ad swap, serious readers.

In long, see this post

Contact by commenting here, or whatever.

Thanks to those that can help!

Between groups now so no playtesting but I would be happy to read. If you need layout put me on the list too. And even though I am not a cool innovative Forge game, I would be happy to swap add space. It is looking like I will have a few pages open (yeah!).

Dude, your art is so sexy that I want to bear its children. I'm just worried that an ad of yours would make the rest of my game look like crap.

Well thank you. You guys are too kind. The revision will look even tighter cause it will have better lay out cause I am not rushing through anything this time. Taking my sweet ass time.

Also, I don't understand where you get off on this "not a cool innovative Forge game" crap. Your game looks really cool, and I'm buying it next time I see you. Like -- holy shit -- guidelines for designing your own metaplot and your own campaign and your own reasons for the sinister conspiracy behind the world? That is *awesome* That is, like, the most innovative thing to come out of RPG design in years. My only disappointment is that I wanted real Europe as a setting, but I'm a perv like that.

P.S. Everyone reading this -- go buy Keith's game. Esp. after the revision.

Bah I say. Innovative is PTA or Dogs. I'm just common sense advice on how to fuck all do his shit yourself cause I'm lazy and don't want to write everything for folks. Fuck them and their own laziness...

Oh and you want Europe? Well the revisions to the rules make it supper easy to do Europe or anything else. I generalized the ethnicity stuff (you write up your own) so that is can easily translate to say 12th century Poland or 2nd century Rome or whatever. So be a perv!
