This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

One of the problems with core play-testers is you never present them with a fait accompli until the end. By then, they gloss over all the stuff because they have a thorough comprehension of the game. As a result, they miss glaring errors.

P.S. I'm not saying your games have any glaring errors. Some of mine do!:D


One of the interesting things about Wild Blue's playtesting is that it came from a merger of two groups - Michael Scott's Wild Blue group and my Aces group. Some of the Aces guys have been with me since In Harm's Way. They know the system, so the differences stand out. The Wild Blue group didn't know me from Adam. They were playing with EABA, a very different system. They see the basic system as different and new. I have gotten excellent feedback from both sides this way. Besides, working with Michael is a joy.
