ANNOUNCEMENT: Zadkiel to go to playtest

[Archangel Beth]

If you have a Pyramid account, you can get in on the playtest for Zadkiel.
Send me PRIVATE EMAIL. (NOT a private message on the forums.)

Include the email address you want subscribed.
Include the name you would like to have playtest credit ascribed to, should you earn it.
Include the Pyramid account username you've got.

A brief sentence or so about why you are a good playtester is a plus.

I reserve the right to accept or deny requests to join the playtest at
my capricious whim; be sure that your sentence is not a travesty of
grammar and punctuation. And remember I hate HTML.

... just out of interest, what is this for? I thought Zadkiel had been detailed in a book already. Excuse my ignorance. ^_^

[DryaUnda]

What knowledge is required for the playtest?

Zadkiel has a brief writeup in Heaven and Hell; this is a full, Superiors-style writeup, and goes into far more detail than was present in Heaven and Hell.

I suspect that nothing beyond a working knowledge of the core rules is required, although familiarity with the Zadkiel writeup in Heaven and Hell, and with the line in general, would be a welcome bonus.

[Archangel Beth]

As happens quite frequently, EDG is exactly right on both counts.

Pyramid accounts are needed, though. Very handy things, those.

[cappadocius]

Hm. Given the impossible time I had posting to the playtest list for the Liber Umbrarum, I'll have to consider this one more carefully, since I have limited email addresses. :(

[Lucius Drake]

Good to know what's coming up.

I think this will be worth seeing, and hopefully interest in this will be sufficient to spur the detailed write-ups of the core Superiors next.
I think Zadkiel is neat, but I've only ever known one person to play a servitor. Perhaps this will encourage more?

We'll see. Nonetheless, good work. I hope to be one of the many congratulating you when it's published.

Well, the plus side of this is we'll now know what we had to damn well roll to get her effects off.

Of WHAT!!? =aneurism=

Maybe this will spur Eli's write up. Man, I've been waiting 2 years for that one :P
Heh. Zadkiel, Novalis, Eli, and Janus, in Superiors V(whatever)... "War and Peace" :P

That's a thought; even though the Sups will now be coming out as singletons, wouldn't it be cool if e23 carried attractive Superiors-style covers for Superiors 5-8 as they became (piecemeal) available? I think it would rock if the cover was available as a freebie for those customers who purchased all of the component individual Sups. I believe that e23 tracks your purchases in perpetuity, so that shouldn't be too tough do, right?

Nooooooo clue. You'd have to ask on the e23 forum. O:>

(I have other Superiors in the pipeline. Some are majors, some are minors. I've mostly been working on them as I got authors, and that's what's driving the order they're released in, now.)
