Yo, you should check out the #gametable channel on furnet IRC. we've written about 4 homebrew systems now, and we love talking new ones :3

Thanks fur the info. I'm hanging at http://forum.rpg.net/ ATM doing research etc.

Wow, have we ever met? Same age, another electric wolf? Makes games? :9

I've had a tabletop game that I had in testing about 4 years ago, but ended up putting on the back burner as I was looking for ways to play through it in under 8 hours.

A robust and flexible system that's fast isn't any easy thing.
