The Iced Oolong story is very interesting, and I left off wanting more and willing to explore the world, as well as establish my characters past, perhaps? Or maybe forget the past entirely, we’ll see. I wish to take part in the testing.
My e-mail address is sethpince@yahoo.com, and the character name, I believe, is Dormin.
(I lied: I can TOTALLY promise something specific. Second-round playtesters will receive the Intrepid Adventurer Quality for any ICED OOLONG characters they make, now or in the future. This is an award Quality which may have smallish mechanical outcomes in the future. Second-round playtesters will also receive a tiny handful of Motes of Inspiration, which are consumable items with desirable effects.)
I lvoe that people are making their own stories using this game engine, it gives me more to do at work ^__^ I would love to help playtest. My email is KathyEk@mac.com and my character name is Katbeth.
Just a preview of one of our favorite cards for those of you still reading. Absolom the Tinker is a fixture in Amarillo: omnipresent, always cheerful, sack-bearing, unprofessional but sharp-eyed when it comes to customer service, a man with no thumb on the scale, a scaleless man; inexplicable, yes, but gladdening is Absolom the Tinker, bringer of small wonders, a friendly face in dry dusty impersonal world. This is his Opportunity card – though not all of its playable branches, most of which Absolom shares only with those who can afford to see them.
(Careful readers will also spot a couple Progress Qualities they haven’t seen before…)
