Playtest extended
Playtest extended
#1
The Powers That Be have decided that the Shifters playtest will be extended, at least long enough for me to catch up with all the digests my lead has sent me. It was supposed to end yesterday. Now I don't know when the anticipated end will be.
More on this as it develops.

No, actually it's a good thing. I need the extra time.
What I don't need are the endless snide comments in the playtest group along the lines of "If you don't do shapeshifters my way, then you've ruined all of GURPS and I'll never play it again."

You do realize that anyone who says this about any GURPS book is so thoroughly unclear on the concept that it's not even remotely funny...

I understand. We got some of the same when we were tweaking Earthdawn for Second Edition. The deaththreats over d20 were the most amusing. We weren't even considering changing the dice mechanic. Fans are weird.

Playtesting, something I'll have to get round to once I finish writing up the Transformers RPG system I was piecing together over the weekend (It's mostly done, just some work on the character creation system and polishing the background sections).

Yup. Doesn't help much when it seems like, sometimes, 90% of the playtest comments fall into that category.

Jeeze. I've been gaming since 1979 -- yes, folks, seventy-nine -- and I still look at folks like this and think, "For god's sake, man, get a life!"
