I Never Get Picked to Playtest!

There's not quite a day left to apply to playtest GURPS GUN FU. The applications are coming in a bit slower than for projects playtested earlier this year, so if you feel like you never get picked this would be the time to remedy that state of affairs.

Best,

I shall now doubly lament the fact that I won't have time to try to playtest what I am sure will be a brilliant book.

(Though, of course, the authors can be doubly assured of getting my money, which they shall richly deserve...)

My casual announcement of the arrival of Gun Fu and my application for the playtest there (complete with a themed session or five to actually, you know, playtest) was met with considerably more enthusiasm among some of my players than that of Low-Tech.

Turns out that during all those years of watching action movies with slow-motion FTV gunfights, playing video games with Bullet Time and taking utterly idiotic risks in role-playing games, these gamers had harboured a secret desire to utterly shoot some dudes up while performing a ludicrous acrobatic stunt.

Who knew?

Hm, if there is a lack of play-testers I guess I could apply. I have watched quite a number of action movies, and like Gun-Fu in general, so I think I could help out.
I'll send in my application.

I would have, but I don't meet the $50 E23 requirement.

I didn't apply for the same reason as for Low-Tech...my minimal contribution on the only playtest I did participate in, lead me to believe that the slot is better served by someone more able to "keep up" with the pace of the process.

I'm sure the book will turn out great.
