Hi, all

I will be running a playtest of my game in development. I already have one interested player, and I'm looking for two to three more.

The game is called Atelier. Were I to pitch this game to you in an elevator, I would say the following:

"Atelier is "Touched by an Angel" meets Mage: The Ascention, in an alternate apocalyptic 1930s America. You play a mojo-enhanced emotional troubleshooter who helps people reconnect with each other in the midst of a magical dust storm that is making the world like Miranda in "Serenity"."

The game is a story game, with a very lightweight mechanic that uses tarot cards. It's a tragedy in nature; you cannot save the world from destruction from the great cloud of Dust, only help people find some joy and happiness in the little time they have left. Or, you could fail to help them, and help the Dust make their few remaining years meaningless.

If you're interested in helping me test, please respond in this thread. Thanks!

Hey! So, I've been working with Jeremy on his game for some time now, and I think he's got something that pretty awesome. You have to want an emo-porn game, but since I do I'm totally on board. (But since I can play it whenever, I would totally happily not take up a slot of there's enough interest.)

I thought I had responded to this thread, but perhaps not. I'm interested in playtesting this, as long as it's not run in a slot that I've already committed to. (Which is, admittedly, only 2 slots so far. )

Excellent. I'll look for you there. Naturally, this will have to work around the player's slot commitments. What slots are you committed to already?
