November 30, 2006: Playtest Call: GURPS Supers

GURPS Supers is a genre source book for GURPS Fourth Edition written by William Stoddard, scheduled to appear soon as a PDF at e23.

The GURPS Supers playtest will be a closed mailing list playtest. Participation in the playtest does not guarantee credit in the published book, and is limited to people with valid Pyramid subscriptions. (You can purchase a Pyramid subscription directly from e23.) A sizable but still limited number of playtesters will be chosen to participate based on a variety of criteria to represent the diverse GURPS player base; previous playtest experience and genre knowledge are valued, but a portion of spots will be assigned at random to allow new but genuinely interested people to enter the pool. The playtest is expected to run until January 1.

Some simple rules and posting guidelines, based on the usual playtest rules here:

will be in effect during the playtest to help the authors and staff keep track of everyone's contributions, and will be provided as part of the playtest materials.

List membership is limited to 40 people. Interested parties willing to follow instructions should apply by sending an e-mail to the Lead Playtester, Jeff Wilson, at jwilson@io.com. The subject should say "SUPERS Playtest" and the first line should have the applicant's real name followed by their e-mail address in brackets like so:

Applicants are encouraged to include a short statement of their relevant background and other qualifications for playtesting GURPS Supers.
