X-Plorers Playtest Version available

What if the fathers of roleplaying were fans of SF instead of Fantasy? That’s what David Bezio thought when he created X-Plorers. His game reads and looks like it has been created back in ’74 (heck, I wasn’t even born back there). But I have to admit it looks pretty sweet.

X-Plorers

Please note that the game is still in an early playtest phase and the layout and artwork is not final. I haven’t had the time to read through the whole 42-paged PDF, but from what I’ve seen so far the game looks fully playable and has the charm of old-school D&D. I will definitely keep an eye on that game. 🙂

Hey, thanks for mentioning X-plorers! If people want to keep track of the progression of the game through playtesting (or get involved in playtesting, share ideas, or maybe find some cool downlooads) they can check out the newly formed yahoo group: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/X-plorersRPG/
