Well actually it was....
a
playtest anyway.
My club is playtested "This is Not a Test" (TNT) a few weeks back and we liked it so much that we're probably going to use it for our winter Post-Apocalypse campaign.
Last week a couple members played another pre-campaign game with a scenario based around an alien/mutant menace spilling out of a sewer system.
TNT is not released yet, but I can say that it's a Post
apoc warband ruleset with alternating activation. Though the mechanics are very different, it's of similar complexity and scope as Necromunda, with a campaign system that will feel very familiar to fans of that ruleset. It's got more chrome than the Song of Blades and Heroes level-of-complexity games we usually play, but I've enjoyed it so far.
For the record, we have no financial stake in this game, and don't even know the author except via a few internet communications.
