Sadly, I don't have that kind of money at the moment. I did grab the free RPG day adventure, and along with the extra characters, ran it for a bunch of friends to give them a chance to try it out and decide if I wanted to buy it when I had the money. The answer is a definite yes, and I'm in the middle of writing up a bit of a review for it over at my blog . When it goes live I'll chuck a link up, and hope that anybody who has access to the full Beta pack can weigh in and see if any of the concerns have been addressed in it.

Have your players pony up a couple bucks each…

Well if you're planning on buying the book in digital format it's more like you just pay a bit up front to get access to the beta instead of actually buying the beta as a standalone product.
Of course you could always get your players to chip in (though that never works for me)

Its only $20…I spend that on popcorn at the movies.

@Seteen then you're a very lucky person. I only work 12 hours a week and can barely pay rent. Movies, without or without popcorn are also a big no no.

If i did get it, it would be as an investment for when the full book comes out later on, but I might just have to wait and ask my lovely girlfriend if I can have it for Christmas. I have now have my little playtest session written up though, and it should be on my blog Monday morning, GMT.

As mentioned above, I have a little write up of my own play test . If there's anyone out there who has done the real play test, please feel free to throw your lot in either here or in the comments bit of my blog. In fact, the blog would be better as the audience will be a bit bigger and the conversation will be more indepth.
