Dark Science-Fantasy - Rules Close to DW - Need Playtesters

Hey All, I'm going to start playtesting a game called "Eternity Engine" and I'd like to find some playtesters. The playtest group will meet up every other week for about 4 hours to play through a game. As a player, you show up to play and have a good time. As a tester, you'll be asked to answer some basic questions about how the game went for you. I am planning on running this with voice on either Roll20 or Google Hangouts. So, if that's an issue but you're still interested, let me know. Finally, I'm always up for more impromptu playtest sessions so hit me up about that as well. If you're interested, take a look at the link below (Mature Players only please. I'd prefer to deal with people from ages 18+) <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/13947/eternity-" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/13947/eternity-</a>...
I should mention that there's a zip file with an alpha playtest package that you can download and read through. Also, the playtest characters will NOT get wiped. The story will go on, you will level, and it won't be tossed away. Join the game to play but with the knowledge that more is coming and things can change, but your character won't be "scraped" along the way. <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/60wixgfn7gznudy/Eternity%20Engine%20Playtest%20V1.0.zip" rel="nofollow">https://www.dropbox.com/s/60wixgfn7gznudy/Eternity%20Engine%20Playtest%20V1.0.zip</a>

I downloaded and read (well, parts of) your playtest package. Comments: 1) Describe how to actually play the game, it is not possible to understand your classes without first understanding the rules of the game. 2) Start your world description by answering the folloiwing question: Why is this a totally awsome place for adventuring? I cannot figure out what the PCs are supposed to do. 3) Decouple class and origin. It is just plain boring that only True Sons can be Masks. Besides, with the classes as written I cant really see hoiw these people would be travelling and adventuring together.

Hi Karl, Thank you for your feedback! I'll respond to clear some things up: 1) The game is based on Dungeon World and Apocalypse World mechanics. If you can play those games, you can play this. Also, this was meant to be played with me, who would teach people how to play the game during the playtest. Therefore, it would be possible to understand the classes once you had joined the playtest and I gave everyone an introduction. 2) The setting allows for many different types of stories to be told. I cannot give people a run down of adventures they should run. I believe the info does explain why this setting is an fun place to adventure in, however it won't tell PCs what to do. That is up to the person running the game. 3) There are 5 archetypes and 7 classes for each archetype. Meaning, there are 7 classes for each race. Since this is an Alpha playtest, 6 classes are available to play. All 35 classes are not all included in the playtest. These people can travel together. It takes some creativity from the players and GM to write a story that will fit the characters, just like with any RPG.
