Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Social Engineering
Good luck. My games often take a heavy turn for the social; if my time had looked better, I'd have tried to get on the list. As it is, I look forward to seeing what comes out!

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Social Engineering
*sigh* Reading this to late. :D I'm famous (or rather infamous?) for my adventures having a very strong social bend. Well, lets hope the product is as good as they usualy come from SJGames.

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Social Engineering
I'm confident about this book. It's a so great idea!

I'm almost sure that this isn't his choice. Don't blame Bill for this, then. It's the current SJG policy.

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Social Engineering
That's a good reasoning.

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Social Engineering
One of the reasons that I've been able to convert players to GURPS over the years is that GURPS offers playable rulesets where other systems might gloss over the details away from combat. A lot of RPG players in my age category (I turned 40 this year) don't need to game a lot of violence and kewl powers, but want to roleplay campaigns with a focus on, for example, politics, kingmaking, negotiation...
I suspect that the appeal of the book may spill over to non-GURPS players as a result. I know a number of Non-GURPS players who bought GURPS Mysteries just to get a sense of how to structure and run Mystery campaigns...
