Battlelords of the Twenty-Third Century is a deep space roleplaying system that focuses on the Alliance of 27 alien races who desperately seek to ward off the threat of internal destruction while simultaneously exploring the vast uncharted regions of space. For the Battlelord, loyalty is to the company, yet corporate devotion never exceeds allegiance to your friends. The mercenary team embodies everything that is valued in society: esprit de corps, honor, and valor. At least that is what the papers say! Your job is a simple one, do anything and everything to stay alive. The company gets all the press. You get to pick up a paycheck. No one cares about methods, but in the 23rd century, everybody needs a hero! It is a battlefield without boundaries, a cemetery without grounds. It is a land whose beauty is shrouded in mystery and danger. Space offers up its treasures only to those brave enough to challenge themselves. And this is Battlelords Country!

Want to be a playtester?

Our games require careful outside playtesting. This is necessary, or mistakes will get through. This seems like a bad thing, and we try to avoid it. Luckily for us, a lot of people enjoy playtesting, because the playtesters are the first ones to see the game, and they have a real voice in the direction it takes. Each playtester is permitted to print out a single hard copy for personal use. Copying these files to any other system or making more than one hard copy, is strictly prohibited. So please don't. And if you encounter copies of these files, please report them to the webmaster.

In order to become a playtester you must print, read, sign, and send in the non-disclosure agreement. Once we get this request, and your signed non-disclosure agreement, then you will be placed on the playtesters mailing list. When we have material that needs playtesting, then you will receive a copy of the material to be tested, and any special instructions via email.

We reserve the right to drop anyone from the list of playtesters that we feel is not providing us with useful feedback. We cannot accept comments over the phone. Please do not copy edit or proof read the playtest draft. Playtest copies are usually unchecked and unedited when they're posted. Even the best drafts will have significant errors of spelling, grammar and punctuation at this stage. Just grit your teeth and ignore them - our editors and spell-checkers will catch them at the proper time. But please mention typos which have a direct effect on the rules - for example, a price given as $50 for a weapon that's obviously worth $50,000, or a sloppy sentence in an important rule, that makes it impossible to be sure exactly who the rule applies to. We do want to know about these. Playtesters who contribute useful comments ("I really think this is cool!", while appreciated, is not a useful comment) will receive credit in the book.
