Seeking playtesters
I’m working on a forged in the dark game with a view to eventual publication.
“SPQR: Death of the Republic” will be set in ancient Rome in the years before the rise of Julius Ceasar
There will be playbooks for lower, middle and upper class PCs and crew sheets to represent the various factions within the city at that time. the group will decide on what level of society they want to play and that will dictate the kind of game that you have whether it be a high political drama or gangs of murderers in the streets.
is that sounds interesting to you then reply to me here and when the playtest document is ready I will send it out to you.
Count me in!
Playtester interested!
I would be very interested to see how this goes.
Sounds like an ideal setting for Blades. I recall a couple of the subplots in HBO’s Rome series dealt overtly with the criminal world, and how those activities fit into the patron/client system in Rome. Would enjoy playtesting and giving feedback!
Patrons and clents will feature heavily
I’m interested.
Definitely interested.
I’m interested! I love Roman politics.
Interested too!
my idea for character generation (inspired by the beyond the wall RPG) will have players decide the type of game they want (eg collegium level, military or political) then taking a playbook packet for that type of game
They will then roll on a series of tables that will give them snippets of backstory, connections to other PCs, their stats, connections to NPCs and more
Ideally character generation will be fast and produce well-rounded characters who feel immersed in the setting and ready to start play
Ideally I’ll produce supplements so as to add to the setting such as a guide to playing in the year of the four emperor’s, playing British tribesmen in the time of Boudica and a version of Rome with magic and the gods personally involved
That all sounds amazing.
I’ve always had a fascination with Rome — count me in 🙂
I’m going to be running the first playtest session next week and I will post a full report here
Will be testing
Randomised character generation
Patron system
Sundials
Fortuna rolls
sounds intruiging
Count me in as well!
Who would be available for a session zero next Thursday evening, 7pm pacific?
I could be for a couple of hours.
My group is just starting with FitD games but the theme would for sure be interesting for us. If you could send me a copy of you draft I would gladly send you my feedback.
