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.

Re: I Never Get Picked to Playtest!
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...)

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?

Re: I Never Get Picked to Playtest!
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.

Re: I Never Get Picked to Playtest!
I would have, but I don't meet the $50 E23 requirement.

Re: I Never Get Picked to Playtest!
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. |

Re: I Never Get Picked to Playtest!
I applied as soon as I found out, and wait with bated breath! I hope the above means I have a good chance of getting in. Fancy shooting is almost as cool as fancy swordplay in my book, and that's plenty cool.

I hope you're selected. Really, though? Out of all the brilliant scenes in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, that's the one that blew you away? What about "the next time I say: 'Let's go somewhere like Bolivia', let's go somewhere like Bolivia"? Or "Oh, good. For a moment there I thought we were in trouble". C'mon, that line combines in one perfect moment the understated genius of two acting greats, one of the most poignant and unspoken bromances of our times (or any time) and enough firepower to send Sly Stallone whimpering for cover!
