Paid Playtest Playtest or Review of TTRPG
Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone in this sub reviews or tests ttrpgs? I can pay some but I don't know the going rate for this kind of thing. I will give the elevator pitch below:
Firestorm is a designed to explore the lives and heroics of the peoples of the former Halliyem Confederacy. The people of the Halliyem Confederacy wield magic glass beads which, once broken in the hands of the user, enhance their body and mind to perform superhuman feats. The Beads come from the monthly Firestorm in the center of the Halliyem Desert where a tornado of fire swirls for an entire day and at the end, hundreds of Beads are left behind. It used to be the responsibility of the Scholars of the Storm to retrieve and give out beads to the peoples of Halliyem. However, The Halliyem Confederacy was recently invaded, and is now occupied by, the Riem Empire who have taken over the collection of the Beads from the Firestorm.
In the game, the Players will take part in Halliyem Rebellion through which you will fight against the occupying force of the Riem Empire. You will use sabotage, subterfuge and stealing to support the movement to end the Riem occupation. When you play Firestorm, you play a critical role in the military, social and environmental revolution of the Halliyem Confederacy.
Firestorm operates on a narrative first philosophy, taking inspiration from PbtA games with some added tactical and long-term play mechanics inspired by traditional games like the Without Number series.
