Thanks everyone for the welcome. This is probably one of the nicest forums I've ever been to...
Welcome bartmoss
As for the game, I am desperately looking for some beta playtesters since most folks I know play D20

and don't want to learn a "new" game or they are involved in long term games...
The only issue is that I would eventually like to get it published, but failing that, it
will be placed under creative commons and able to be freely downloaded. To be honest the only reason that I would like it to be published is to offset the costs of the artwork I want to put in it...I am a big believer in artwork setting the "mood" of the game...
