We are seeking playtesters for
GURPS Realm Management, by Christopher R. Rice. This is a mid-length (~50 pages) supplement offering a semi-abstract system for creating and running "realms" – fiefs, colonies, states, countries, etc. – in
GURPS.
We are primarily seeking applicants familiar with the related systems in
GURPS Boardroom and Curia,
GURPS City Stats, and
GURPS Mass Combat. Knowledge of
GURPS Low-Tech Companion 1,
2, and
3 – and of the
GURPS Social Engineering series – would be a bonus. However, fresh eyes may be useful, so please feel free to apply if you think you have something to contribute. The level of abstraction is fairly high, but if you have experience in such areas as economics, political science, or urban planning, please let us know!
The playtest is currently scheduled to run for three weeks, from December 20, 2019 to January 9, 2020. As we're fast approaching the start date, please submit your application ASAP.
Preferential playtest slots will be given to those who have spent at least $50 on PDFs from
Warehouse 23 in the past calendar year, though this is not a requirement. For more, see the general
playtest information page.
Prospective playtesters should email Roger Burton West at
pt-realmmanagement@firedrake.org with [playtest] in the subject. Include your preferred email address for the closed playtest mailing list, your name as you wish it to appear in the published supplement, your Warehouse 23 login name, and a few words on why we should pick you: qualifications, experience, current gaming group(s), etc. Please submit in this format:

I'm a GM with 10 years' experience, and have been running GURPS
campaigns for seven years; I have playtest credit on three previous
supplements. I've been running a game with a lot of politics and
large-scale resource management for the past six years. As it happens,
I also have a degree in political science.
We look forward to hearing from you!
