If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The RPG Pundit's own game Forward... to Adventure! has been released in pdf and print by Flying Mice Games.

Can you use FtA! for serious sophisticated stories, with lots of politics, intrigue, romance or character development?

Well, sure, you can, but really why would you? FtA! is the game for when you are tired of all that junk, and just want to go back down into the Gnomish mines, travel through the dangerous wilderlands in search of ruins, steal from shops, try eating a wraith corpse, and maybe, if you're really lucky, find Mjolnir.

Get to it, boys and girls, adventure lies ahead.

I hate to be skeptical but. . . wasn't this just entering the first rounds of third-party (i.e., impartial) playtest late last month and in early July? Are people now taking the same approach to playtesting that many publishers have with edting (i.e., why bother)?

That was actually the THIRD round of playtesting, the second of "impartial" playtesting as you said. And we incorporated a number of minor changes and one relatively major one as a result of these playtests.

In total, this thing has been playtested for a year or so.

Hi James!:

The game had been alpha and beta playtested before I ever sent it out. I wanted a third round for my own satisfaction, to get direct feedback, and to catch any last minute mistakes. The feedback was excellent, the changes we made were all for the better, but I had no doubt that it had been thoroughlly tested already.

Someone should send him a copy!  Maybe he would see fit to give it a blurb. :)

Zomben: The print book has a short pdf preview in gray scale. I'll be generating one for rpgnow tonight. It was late by the time I got done uploading last night. :D

I've given up on Mr. Hite. He announced he was going to review Cold Space over a year ago, then never mentioned it. He also hasn't written a column in months.

Ah. Cool, I just looked at it.  Well, I'll be looking forward to seeing if you post a preview with a bit more... 'substance' I suppose?  The one on Lulu only has the credits pages, and then the TOC. Not really a lot to go by. Me, I'd like to check out the writing style, and get a feel for the game, and I don't get that from the preview on Lulu at all.

Understood! The Lulu preview is autogenerated, and I have no control over it. It always seemed stupid to me to use the first X pages as a preview, when everyone puts their credits and ToC in the front! They should grab a dozen pages from somewhere inside the book.

No Cleric class, eh?

Pretty radical design choice. I like. Certain individuals claim D&D went downhill with the introduction of the Thief class--I say it's the Cleric!
