[Interest Check] Roll20 exclusive skirmish type miniature / strategy game

As the title says, this post is to see if there is any interest in a skirmish type miniature game. To be more specific, I am looking for playtesters for a game that has been in and out of design for about 10+ years. The rules are about 80% done, and the game is playable, but a lot of odds and ends need to be finished, balanced, and tweaked. So let's get to the point, eh? The Basic Premise: Legions of Toberia (LoT) is a fantasy game of miniature combat. The game is designed for small army skirmishes of individual miniatures. What I Am Looking For: Playtesters, designers, editors, and people in general who are interested in helping finish up the game so that it is easily accessed and playable on Roll20. Also, I am not all that familiar with Roll20. I have put in a good 40+ hours of messing around with it and I have learned a lot of things, but I am hoping some good experienced Roll20 players can help me cater this game to Roll20 in the best way possible. What I Hope To Accomplish: Basically, all I want to do is setup a living game that can be played here on Roll20. When I say that I want a 'living game', what I mean is a game that is continually supported, balanced, and progresses with time. If a miniature proves to be simply too powerful or unblanced, it will get nerfed a bit. Expansions will be added, new abilities, spells, and so forth. Essentially an ever progressing game. So Now What: Well, first off, is there any interest? I don't want to waste a huge amount of time typing things up, messing with the Roll20 interface, making plans, setting up games, and so forth, if there is no interest. Here is a link to the game wiki for those interested in more information.
Sounds interesting, kind of like mordheim/necromunda with cards maybe. I will help you out when I can

Sorta kinda, yes. I have never played necromunda, but I am familiar with Mordheim. This game has a different rules set, obviously, but the premise is similar. When I tried Mordheim, it was a campaign game. I had an army and went through a series of 3-4 "encounters" that a GM designed. You could most certainly do that with this game, though it is a player vs player game generally. It is sorta like a combination of Mordheim and Magic: the Gathering (minus all the collectible crap and cost). A lot of the miniatures, called e-figs (for electronic figurines), have abilities that will remind people of M:tG, for example: Pass: Target e-fig in base contact adds +1 HP (meaning that if the mini passes [takes no action], it heals another mini in base contact 1 hp) or Pass: Target player loses -1 vitus. (Vitus is like "mana" that each player has, which they can spend to do stuff, like spells, actions, and more)
Well, the wiki was not as hard as I thought to make public. I figured I would have to do permissions on each page. Anyway, since it only took a couple min to do, here is a link to the game wiki, which has a large portion of the rules and an overview and concept of the game. I am giving this a final bump up to see if there is indeed any interest beyond just one person. If so, we can get things rolling. Thanks, and happy gaming! Legions of Toberia Wiki
