Across a Thousand Dead Worlds - Playtest 1
Hello, Void Runners!
So the moment has come, today is the day that we start testing this beast out! I'm uploading the incredible playtest document that Phlvx has prepared for us; he says this is just a quick thing put together for the playtest and that the final version of the layout will be much better, but aside from not having illustrations, it's already looking fantastic to me!
So we are planning on spreading the playtesting across several weeks; mostly because I'm not done writing, but also to allow you guys to assimilate it all better, since it's a lot of info. This first couple of weeks are going to be dedicated to character creation and basic system rules. After that, we'll introduce the meat of the game: exploration. I expect that phase to last at least a month. Last but not least, the third missing part will be dedicated to Karum Station, and all the stuff you can do there and gear you can buy. I don't know how much playtesting we'll need, but we'll test for as long as we think it's necessary.
For now I'm limiting the playtesting to you guys; I'm not announcing the game just yet so I would appreciate it if you don't talk about it, at least not on social media. I will probably announce it once we start with the exploration rules, because I will need a larger pool of playtesters for that (in my experience, only 20% or less of people playtesting ever give any feedback, so the more people, the better).
So that's all for now, if you have any feedback to give me please send me a message, or do it via the Blackoath Discord! I will open the dedicated Playtesting channel on our Discord once we start admitting other people to this.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Exciting! Looking forward to dig in
Thanks, John! Looking forward to hearing your feedback!
Just lightly skimmed through it and already I’m excited. When do we get to throw the whole wallet at you?
Glad you like how it looks! I think I'll organize a Kickstarter for this one and handle it myself, which is scary as hell but the next logical step in my world domination plan. Hopefully this fall we'll have it all ready!
