CthulhuTech V2 Open Beta
17-August-15

Welcome!
Welcome to the Open Beta for CthulhuTech V2: The Shadow War. This packet should be everything you need in order to play the new edition of the game. This is your opportunity to help us fne-tune and shape the new iteration of CthulhuTech – one we're very excited about.

V2 will be split up into two core books, The Shadow War and The Aeon War. This playtest package focuses on The Shadow War, and provides the four main Tagers. Character creation has been cleaned up and greatly expanded from the previous edition, right down to being able to build your Tager. The rules have been cleaned up overall, and play diferently while still feeling like Framewerk.

Open Beta will end on October 30th, 2015, after which we'll fnalize the book and release it for the holidays. We'd like you to help us fle of the rough edges before we go to press.

Tone
We've heard the feedback from the community, so the Shadow War focuses on the awesomeness of being an occult super-hero, while leaving the more controversial subject matter to implication or the desires of individual groups. We feel that this will make V2 accessible to a greater cross-section of players.

The Packet
In this Open Beta packet, you'll receive a copy of the V2 core rules, a FrienDA, and some guidelines for providing feedback. We'll periodically update the core rules as feedback comes in and changes need to be made.

In Development
You're receiving fles that are in development. We've removed the art and page designs, which is why you'll see white-space that seems to serve no purpose. Some pages have been cut out, because they're not ready yet. As a PDF, the text might appear large, but that's because the fnished size of the book is 6” x 9”, and not the folio-sized 8.5” x 11”. The book will become more and more complete as we receive feedback and continue development, and you'll receive an e-mail when new fles are available.

Social Media Guidelines
Since this project is in Open Beta, we want you to share your CthulhuTech V2 experiences on-line. You can feel free to post about your game on Facebook, Twitter, our SubReddit forums, or other places. You can even share this Open Beta packet, though those who receive it from you won't get the automatic updates from DriveThru.

The FrienDA
A normal NDA would prevent you from posting to social media about any aspect of V2, and we don't want that. We're using the less-formal NDA. Basically, this states that if you do something that actually damages the development of CthulhuTech V2, we'll come and smack you in the ways outlined in the document. Make sure to sign, scan, and send back to us your FrienDA, and get them from everyone you play with –e-mail to custserv@wildfrellc.com.

Copyright
We will be using a Creative Commons license for V2, which basically means that people will be able to share freely as long as we are properly credited, that material may be altered or remixed, though people can't charge for what they create. We still retain the copyright, but with these more open options. However, this license will not take efect until we formally launch the product. This does mean that you can start working on your Creative Commons ideas now, so that you can be the frst in line when that times comes.
