Just wanted to drop everyone a message that the playtest campaign of
Skyfall Blade, the anime/mecha supplement for Unsung, is going well.
We've had a lot of melodrama, and the Eyes -- the transforming
archetypes of the Skyfall Blade extension to the basic Unsung system
-- have contributed well to what's been going on. For example, we've
had one character fall in love with a sworn enemy, find out she's not
an enemy at all, and then become jilted when he finally revealed his
love. Each stage of this storyline was represented by a different Eye,
with defined game-mechanical effects. We've also had characters
defined by their starting Eyes, from the character who lost a loved
one due to alien attack to the character whose all-consuming hatred
for the invading aliens has informed -- and deformed -- his every
action in the game.
If anyone wants to get a playtest game of Skyfall Blade together,
please let me know.
