[QUOTE="Shiv, post: 6641634, member: 5526"] I began designing a tabletop RPG called Murders & Acquisitions in 2013. I'm on track to Kickstart and publish it sometime next summer. In Murders & Acquisitions, the players portray characters working at a corporation in an alternate real-world Earth where espionage, subterfuge, political intrigue, and murder are an accepted (even celebrated) part of corporate culture. The PCs are movers and shakers in the company who seek prestige, power, and wealth above all else. They've banded together to climb the corporate ladder as quickly as possible. The core of the game is designed (though tweaking will continue throughout playtesting). The game is narrative heavy and rules light, though the playtest adventure is a bit heavy on combat, to test out the system. This round of playtesting includes modular rules add-ons for magic and monsters in this alternate world. It's a bit like D&D in an office setting. The core game doesn't include this stuff, but this round of playtesting does. Future modular rules add-on playtests will include near-future cybertech, cosmic horror, and whatever else I can come up with. I'm seeking playtest groups for the game. It's designed for a GM and four players, though a smaller group can playtest with one or more players portraying multiple characters. Please respond here or message me if you're interested in playtesting. I'm looking for feedback within a month of when you receive the playtest materials. I'll provide all necessary materials and a pre-written adventure for the playtest. If you have questions about the game and/or the playtest, feel free to ask. Craig Campbell [/QUOTE]
