The PC's are part of a trade caravan ... Read moreheading towards the large city of Haven. Along the way they encounter a strange man and discover a dagger made out of an unknown metal and a dangerous mystery that surrounds it.

RSRS Game System Playtesting
I finished writing my role-playing system and now want to run weekly (maybe even bi-weekly) playtesting sessions for it. I need a few good gamers to help me in this and this seems like the perfect place to find a few.

I want to use ... Read moreGamers Paradice or Games Plus as a place for it to happen. RSRS is a univeral role-playing system that covers any kind of adventure from realistic to super-heroic adventures and everything in between. Each week, I want to run an hour or so character making session, then run a 4 to 6 hour game session featuring a different genre or style (fantasy, horror, cyberpunk, superhero, etc.) and a little thoughts and observations at the end.

So if you are looking for a new game system to try, want a little variety, and wish to help a fellow gamer out, help me playtest my system! Thanks.
