Rogue History Playtest

Hi,
My name is Fox Jackstaff. I've made a game and was hoping to find some lovely people who'd be interested in giving it a whirl. The full rules are just 3 pages, and can be downloaded from here: https://fox-jackstaff.itch.io/rogue-history. The basic pitch is below:

"You are Animatrons, animatronic recreations of historically or culturally important figures, both real and fictional. Your people live in the city of Education, a ramshackle hive of makeshift structures built upon the ruins of an ancient theme park. It has been centuries since human civilisation burnt itself from the face of the earth and the Animatrons have had time to learn, grow and build themselves a society all of their own. All is not well in the city of Education however, dwindling power reserves and a lack of spare parts have forced the Animatrons to prey upon each other to survive, forming gangs and tribes for protection. You and your friends are one such gang."

Essentially it's a one-shot rpg where you play the theme-park-robot versions of your favourite Myths, Legends and Celebreties as they fight to survive in a post apocalyptic city. If Ghengis Khan, the Minotaur and Amelia Earhart teaming up to pull off a daring heist sounds like your sort of thing, then you're exactly the kind of diseased mind I'm looking for!

(For transparency: this isn't a compensated playtest in any way, so only sign on if this game actually sounds like something you'd enjoy spending an evening on).

The official time set aside for the playtest is Monday 5:00pm GMT, and the game will probably run 3 to 4 hours. That said, I'm planning to run extra sessions as time allows so don't be shy about speaking up if you can't make that time slot.
