I submitted my group last week. 

To all of you who would like to play test but are not near a group, do what we do.  We play over the internet using Yahoo voice chat.  2 players are in NC and 3 players are spread out over the Phoenix AZ area.  But we hop on line, open up a voice chat room and we are all good.  Dice rolls have to be on the honor system.  But the up side is stuff like "my car broke, I can't get a ride" does not call off the game.  The only valid excuse is "They tore up my street and cut my internet cable."

Yahoo voice chat is free and works nearly all the time.

I'd love to help, but I've never played a RPG before.  I'm not sure what benefit my participation would provide.

Yeah,  I started filling out the application the first day it was listed, but before I got finished I realized I was probably not really a good candidate,  so I just let it drop.  I really just wanted to be able to play the game as soon as possible.  Anyway, I don't I would be able to gather a group and play, but let us know if you need any other kind of help.

My group is currently composed of me and one dedicated gamer friend. Would that provide a large enough sample for playtesting?

It'd definitely provide a unique perspective; I don't think we're explicitly focusing on "sole protagonist style" play, but getting feedback from folks who are trying to do that could be pretty nifty.

I'd love to play!  Cept...I've never played a table top RPG before *stares at her, now dusty, Serenity core book on it's shelf* and I don't have any friends close enough who could participate.  *is made of sad*

I wish they were still doing the illustrations for the game!

This is my version of Harry on a stormy night, exhausted as usual.

Thanks, I appreciate that!  Two of my favorite characters to draw are Harry Dresden and John Constantine.  I'm working on another Dresden, now, of him making the trap for Toot-Toot.

I hope that this isn't too off topic.  But yeah, here's one of my Constantine drawings.

Here's that drawing of Dresden baiting Toot Toot.  I just finished it.

Getting back on topic. I would love to be part of the testing but I have no group to play with. I just moved to Vermilion Ohio and really don't know any other gamers here. So any other players near Cleveland or Sandusky? I am right in the middle between those cities. I have been an RPG player since 1979 starting with the Original D&D box set. I have played and been game master using the following systems.

Arduin
Champions
D&D original
AD&D First edition, second edition
Star Wars
Gamma World
Harnmaster
Rune Quest
Battle Tech
Vampire the Masquerade
Hugs are my second favorite thing in the world. The first involves hugging, but is more vigorous.
