OBSIDIAN DPS
Beta Testing
Obsidian DPS has been under development for a little over 2 years. We are now proud to announce that Obsidian DPS has entered beta testing.
We are looking for new and experienced ttrpg enthusiasts to join the beta test! This Beta test will be for players ages 18 and above.
What will Beta Testing Involve?
We are working the final kinks out of the system. This means getting it out to people that love to play ttrpg games to see how the game plays to identify any critical flaws so we can fix them before the core system is released.
Beta Testing begins with registration. Below we have a short form for those interested in participating. From there We also have a Discord group that you can use to look for groups, chat with other testers and even get updates before they hit the website!
Beta testing is starting with the basic rules. We need to test the 8 archetypes with character builds along with the included adventure "The Forgotten Citadel" and the 8 premade characters created from the basic rules. Your feedback is critical to making Obsidian DPS a success. You
can find copies for the feedback form below along with links to submit completed feedback forms.
Players and GM's enter the tavern and can use the #lfg channel to find new groups. Any player can become a GM upon request and we recommend GM's also playing in other games to get the full experience.
