[color=darkred]I thought about it, and I'm pushing up the number of players to 6. Moreover, when I schedule, I'm starting with as many players as can make the first session. So, even if you're on the list of players, if you don't make the first session, too bad.

I want to test this thing, dammit, and I'm not letting poor attendance ruin it.[/color]

If there is a 7th player interested in this, put him in 6th position and put me in standby or something if possible.. I will make it if the game is within a week or so, but if later, my schedual will loose it's flexibility and might force me to miss games.

[color=darkred]There's actually a player or two who have 'reserved seats' due to their contributions to FFRPS in the past.[/color]

I'd love to be involved in the playtest even if i can only be a 'sub' =p I've read most of the posts on this forum about the project but is there anywhere I can get the full rules and such?

Ok ok since you've been bugging me about it, I'll come playtest...you bastard :P Tenatively I am thinking a Human Noble, be sure to tell me when you post those class lists.

[color=darkred]Many of the files for FFRPS are fully written up already, and those that aren't are in the works, so to speak.

Things that are fully written up so far are...[/color]

Races, Classes, 9 out of 10 Advanced Classes, 10 Prestige Classes, over 200 Feats, Most of the Skills, Alignments (That was REALLY hard, let me tell you. Copy/paste is a bitch.), Traits, and Flaws.

[color=darkred]Many other things, obviously, are needed for the system to be 'final', but all I want to get finished before this test game is the Equipment, which is about half done. I'm gonna work on it tonight... Although, Tux and co are hammering me for mRPG.[/color]

Woah. Just saw this thread. I am teh interested, if you still need teh playtest0rz.

[color=darkred]I sent you a PM... :P

And, yeah, there's room. That makes enough players, actually. Lets set up a time.[/color]

Is there still room for me? It figures that Karlth had to take not only Moogle, but Dragoon to boot. Whoever heard of a Dragoon Moogle? I think I shall be a Moogle Warlock.

[color=darkred]Yes, there's room. Welcome aboard.[/color]

[color=darkred]Yay, first EVER game of FFRPS was played today. So sweet, seeing the many hours of toil starting to come to fruition.

I'll be the first to admit the game's not perfect yet. However, I'd like to believe it's come a long way, and even rivals it's parent 3.5e D&D.

So far, things I've come across is low AC (which I don't find that big of a problem, due to the increased number of 'hit points' FFRPS has); the moogle's flying ability being a bit too good (which I think I know how to solve); and the warlock class possibly being too potent (which can be determined at higher levels. I looted it from an actual 3.5 class and modded it, and the 3.5 version of it is more powerful than the one I have [the 3.5 version grants them access to ALL of their spells for each level, as opposed to a certain number of spells known]).

So far, things I've considered fixing are:[/color]

Returning to including a class bonus to AC gained from class levels. This, obviously, would increase the length of combat, which I really don't think needs to be changed as of yet.

Make the moogle's fly ability require 1 VP per round of use. This way, players will be less likely to resort to it all the time, especially at low levels where they have a very limited supply of VP (coincedentally, that's where flying matters the most, as at higher levels, characters get greater and greater access to flying abilities such as alter self, fly, levitate, and other things that over come some of the obstacles fly does [like climb and jump checks]).

Lowering the warlock's VP die to d4s. Along with that, change warlock's edge to add their class level to damage, up to their intelligence bonus, instead of their full intelligence bonus right away. This would lower the potency of the warlock.

[color=darkred]Those that played (and, shit, even those that didn't) feel free to post your thoughts about the session or the above thoughts on possible changes.[/color]

Sorry I didn't turn up for the test game =/ My luck that the one day I don't use the inernet that I miss something important
