Open Playtest for the Kalyr RPG
As I’ve mentioned before on this blog, I’ve written an RPG based on the setting I’ve been using for my long-running online game. I started a playtest using a yahoogroup about a year ago, but everything got rather put on the back burner due to real life becoming busy.
As I stated before, I intend to publish the game, probably as a .PDF, but there might be a dead-tree version if I think there’s enough demand. The system is based on a customised version of the Fudge rules, and the setting is my own, with a lot of the flavour of some of Jack Vance’s baroque SF worlds.
I’ve decided to move the playtest discussion to The Phoenyx, where the game already has it’s own forum. The ongoing game “KLR” on Dreamlyrics is also considered to be part of the playtest.
I previously had the entire game as a closed playtest, with the playtest drafts only visible to those that signed up to the yahoogroup. I’ve decided to make the mechanics-heavy part of the game an open playtest, so I’ve posted the first four chapters free for anyone to download and comment on.
- Chapter 1: Introduction
- Chapter 2: Character Generation
- Chapter 3: Running the Game
- Chapter 4: Psionics
Yes, they are static pages in Wordpress, and do currently use the same template as the blog, which means the sidebar is still full of adverts for prog-rock albums.
If you’ve got any comments on them, or want the actually try out playing the game, please sign up to the discussion forum!
The remaining chapters cover the game setting in more detail, and will probably be done in a semi-closed playtest (only available to those who sign up to the playtest forum).
