We are seeking playtesters for GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Thieves, by Christopher R. Rice. This 30- to 35-page "splatbook" greatly expands on the templates, lenses, power-ups, gear, and other options available to thieves in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy. The best way to understand its scope and nature is by reading GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Barbarians or GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Swashbucklers.
We are seeking applicants familiar with the Dungeon Fantasy series – particularly GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 1: Adventurers for the original thief template and associated gear, plus either Barbarians or Swashbucklers to help us ensure consistency within the Denizens sub-series. However, the more Dungeon Fantasy you know, the better; knowledge of the thieving tasks in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 2: Dungeons, the lenses for thieves in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 3: The Next Level, the thief power-ups in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 11: Power-Ups, and the closely related assassin and ninja professions in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 12: Ninja would be particularly helpful. We value fresh perspectives, though, so as long as you're conversant in GURPS abilities and equipment (this project is "crunchy"), feel free to apply! The playtest is currently scheduled to run for about three weeks, from September 16, 2021 to October 7, 2021. Please submit your application ASAP. Preferential playtest slots will be given to those who have spent at least $50 on PDFs from Warehouse 23 in the past calendar year, though this is not a requirement. For more, see the general playtest information page. Prospective playtesters should email Roger Burton West at pt-df-thieves@firedrake.org with [playtest] in the subject. Include your preferred email address for the closed playtest mailing list, your name as you wish it to appear in the published supplement, your Warehouse 23 login name, and a few words on why we should pick you: qualifications, experience, current gaming group(s), etc. Please use this format: Code:
graymouser@lankhmar.neh Reuter Stephens roguemouse I've played GURPS since 2004, and GURPS Dungeon Fantasy since it came out in 2008. All my favorite characters are thieves . . . I'm playing one right now! I own all the supplements you mentioned and lots more besides, and I have playtest credit on two projects.

I was surprisingly excited to get my rejection notice this morning for this playtest. That means that there are tons of people interested in this book. I can't wait to see the final product!

I'm sorry. :-( We had a good number this time so we got to be choosy. Please don't let this discourage you from applying to be a playtester.

Maybe I'll get up with you after the playtest and get you to poke the MS - if you want. More eyes is usually better, especially to catch any errors from the playtest I might have made.
