Skinchangers: Open Beta Test
 |
In Skinchangers¸ you play an animal shapeshifter - Racoon¸ Crow¸ Owl¸ Bobcat¸ or Fox - created by the spirit of that animal type to root out the forces of desecration and fight the abominations that arise from it. The setting may remind players of Neverwhere¸ Werewolf: The Apocalypse¸ and a number of other urban fantasy settings (which were all absolutely in mind when creating it).
The system for Skinchangers uses a small fistful of either Fate dice or standard six-siders; some components of it may remind readers of the Red Box Hack¸ Apocalypse World¸ or Fate Accelerated edition (because that's where those components came from¸ and proudly so); other pieces are relatively unique to the game.
This is an open beta-test version of the game. It is divided into two files - The Playbook contains rules for character creation and action¸ while the Guidebook contains setting material and advice on setting up your region of the world and situation within it.
Because it is a beta-test version¸ you can expect some text errors¸ duplicated art¸ rough bits that need rebalancing¸ and so on. The game is fully functional¸ but not necessarily fully tightened up or perfectly explained - that's why it's an open beta test.
Your input is wanted. This can be anything from "I read a few pages and what I saw was" to "Having read the whole thing" to (ideally) "We gave it a go¸ and...". That feedback can be emailed to levi.kornelsen@gmail.com¸ relayed to me on Google+¸ left as a comment or review right on this page¸ or by any other means of contact you have for me.
