So I've finally reached a point where I think my new (FAE powered) game is ready for playtesting outside my group. It may actually be targeted at the most limiting demographic I can think of - Jpop/Kpop fans who also play RPGs and want to play FAE.... Anyways, here's the pitch:
It's a science fiction, lighthearted, potentially silly, game about a space traveling kpop boyband/girlgroup solving mysteries while touring the galaxy singing and dancing.
If that sounds ridiculous, that's because it is. But, the game is about answering the question: "What if the Asian pop music industry invented space travel and conquered the universe?"
It's built around a campaign made up of episodic one-shots (each adventure is a different stop on the concert tour), and has a variety of new mechanics and toolkit tweaks.
I'm looking for a variety of feedback if anyone is interested. If you just want to read it and tell me what doesn't make sense (or heck, read it because you want to and then don't tell me anything, that's fine as well - or don't read it if you hate fun). Maybe, if you fall madly in love with the idea of a combatless game about silly sheltered girls running around saving the day while looking pretty, but still making it to the concert venue on time - maybe you will want to run it with your group and tell me how it goes*).
The playtest PDF is available in my dropbox, here:
IGGPlayTest
The only unfinished parts of the PDF are:
1. We aren't done customizing the FAE SRD, a lot of it is still copy/paste (there might be some pulp examples still, etc.).
2. Not all of the art is finalized or finished (but the style is).
I was planning to run a game of it for Jackercon but life got in the way and I knew I wouldn't have time. Maybe next time.
If it ever get's to a finished-esque state, I plan to toss it up on drivethru as a "pay what you want."
For anyone who has no idea what the mood of Korean Pop music is, just click around on this site's playlists and let the flashy colors, beautiful people, crazy dance moves, and general chaos wash over you:

*if anyone does playtest and give me some feedback I will gladly add you to the inside cover as playtesters.
