The latest revision of the Void and Steel playtest document is now available. Functionally, it is very similar to the Death Frenzy playtest document released last year, with a few tweaks for clarity and to improve gameplay.

In addition, the graphics have been partially overhauled to reflect the new title and have been re-formatted to make trimming them out easier. Also, the file size has been greatly reduced, from 43mb to just under 3mb. Click the link below to download.

Void and Steel Playtest – 6/28/2011

(UPDATE: The playtest document has been fixed, the Move cards should read correctly now. If your cards read 0/0/0 in the bottom row, please download the new file or change them to read 0/1/1.)

My long-in-development chambara RPG Death Frenzy has a new name: Void and Steel. I dearly loved the old name, but I cribbed it from the anime as a working title…so it was never meant to last. I turned various names over and over in my head over the last week, and this is the one that stuck. I’d also like to announce that a new version of the playtest document will be available tomorrow at noon EST. I was planning on releasing it today, but I want to clean up a few things and fix a handful of typos. In the meantime, here’s the new logo!
