Ok, so some of you may remember a good long time back when I was working on writing up a bunch of setting stuff for an RPG known as The Cog Wars. It's a great game- steampunk, youthful rebellion, crotchety old saboteurs, sentient clockworks, and the like. And the_tall_man , originator, developer, and lead nutjob on this grand old project, has now released a gamma version of the corebook- all the setting stuff, all the rules, Ok, ok, damn near all the setting, rules, etc etc, you'd need to play- just a dire need for some light editing and playtesting. And I no longer have a regular campaign group to inflict it on.

So, those of you who're of a gaming mindset, please- go forth. Grab the FREE PDF. Play the shit out of it. Or just read it over and find the pure brilliance/errors of our ways. Let him know what sticks and what doesn't. All that.

Whoa, careful - it's the first 71 pages! There are four chapters not included yet (Homeplay, Missions, Themes, Guide).

I mean, they're rapidly developing, but not actually in that download.

Yes, but you've got all the basics there. I mean the rest are toolboxes. Nice, big shiny toolboxes, but the core mechanics here are enough to build and play games in the system. At least, it looked like it from the glance-over I gave the thing.

To be playable... It needs exactly four pages. They are: Minions, teamwork, zeal, and XP.

I know which ones they are because they're open on my screen right now.

After that, you're totally right; the rest is a giant toolbox of adventure-building and game-running stuffies.
