For more, deeper information on my pen & paper RPG "Machina Obscura" please see my Machina Obscura journal page! Thank you!

Okay, I think Machina Obscura is ready for the BETA-testing phase!!! Finally!! The basic rules (meaning character creation and fighting rules) are so far complete and look like they are working, but the game has to be played to see if they really do. This is where you come in. If you want, I can send you the rule-pack, and you and your buddys try it out and mail me if there is something that needs to be re-done. It would be really really helpful if you do!!

I need your ideas for the Weaponry - I have weapons of course, Close and Long Range Combat, but I'd love to have more variety in that. I mean, for example, I have five different pistols so far - the Flintlock Pistol, qualitative Flintlock, Twin Barrel Flintlock, Revolver, and the Hand Cannon. But I'd love to have more variety, like different types of revolvers. Maybe you can come up with some ideas!! Same goes for every weapon type, of course.
Also, if you play and come along difficultys in using the manuals (see Machina Obscura journal page for more info on that), tell me.
And if there is anything you'd like to add, like inventions or weapons or machines or talents whatever, I'd love to know about that!
Last but not least, I'd be delighted if you help to create a fantastic background for the game. I mean, the basic background is already given, being a steampunk rpg and all. But the cities need life, and history... You know what I mean.

========Working Progress========
(as the game has just entered the BETA testing phase, even "completed tasks" could be updated.)

in progress
- Fighting Rules for (air)ships and other vehicle types
- equipment list with prices and slot amounts
- background story (politics, history, city descriptions.............)
- more more more incredible inventions!!! (with manuals)


So, if you want to play the game, just note me and I'll send you the so-far-rulepack asap!!
You would do me a really big favour. With your help, I can make this game awesome!!!
Also, when you are one of the Beta-Testers, your name (or nickname) will appear in the printed version.
Thanks a lot!!!!!
