Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Realm Management
 

Yeah, this is what it's coming down to for me. I'd love to be in on it (indeed, I wrote or collaborated on some of the cited works in the call for playtesters), but I just don't have adequate free time.

That said, I'm confident Christopher's got this and it'll be just fine without me.

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Realm Management
 

This is very exciting, something I have wanted for a long time. Good luck with the playtest!

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Realm Management
 

Thanks! I hope it lives up to everyone's expectations. I spent a lot of time on this project to try and do it right.

:-) Thanks, Matt. I hope so.

The time frame is too short for me to commit to anything but I have the kind of background you are looking for. If you want to send me a copy on spec, PM me. I would try to give you comments. If not, I will be a buyer anyway.

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Realm Management
 

I just tried sending a follow-up email to the listed email address for Roger Burton West, pt-realmmanagement@firedrake.org. I had [playtest] in the subject. I got this message:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

pt-realmmanagement@firedrake.org
Unrouteable address

I tried it again, and got the same message. Anybody know what's going on?

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Realm Management
 

The playtesters for GURPS Realm Management have been chosen. If you didn't get an email you were not chosen.

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Realm Management
 

Thanks for letting me know. I've had problems lately with emails getting through, so wanted to make sure it hadn't somehow been mistakenly blocked. For example, I have a story set in one of my GURPS worlds that's scheduled to be published in an anthology in February. But the accepted story almost got dropped because, while I signed and returned the contract the day I got it, my response got lost somewhere in Internet space.

To avoid confusion, I think it would be helpful if Steve Jackson Games let those who weren't chosen know, even if with a generic email. It could be something like, "We appreciate your interest in our playtest. Unfortunately, we sometimes have more applicants than we have slots to fill," etc.

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Realm Management
 

Just a brief note to say that I'm excited about this project! Can't wait to see what comes out the other side...

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Realm Management
 

Yeah, we need something to bridge the gap between Cities and Planets.

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Realm Management
 

That's not my call. Generally, as far as I can remember for public playtests they've never done that. If you don't get a welcome message you're not in.

:-)

It actually (as of the pre-playtest draft) can cover those too. The goal is to be able to cover Game of Thrones as much as Dune. At least that's what I went into it trying to do.
