G'day guys,
I am getting to a point in the game where I am fairly happy with how the base rules of Dawn play (still balancing/adding to the campaign stuff).
I am basically looking to create a very small, but dedicated external playtest team (in addition to our existing local playtest team) to help progress Dawn through to final release.
As much as I'd love to include everyone in this playtest, initially at least, it will be a small intake as I've found its easier to manage. A larger group will be invited later on down the track.
I'd be looking for people to commit to evaluating the readability of the rules and how easy they are to pick up/understand, in addition to playing lots of games over the course of the playtest period to help us 'get it right'. I would be hoping to receive detailed and honest feedback on the system and the tribes regularly as intermittent feedback can slow down the process.
I wanted to give you guys on the forum the first opportunity as you have supported the game so well already by providing encouragement, enthusiasm and feedback which I have very much appreciated.
The initial external playtesters will receive credit in the book, a free copy of the rules and something else to say thank you for helping to launch the first of a series of games set in the Rise of the Occulites setting.
If you are interested and can commit to this, please email me on benATdarwin-games.com.au with any information that you think is relevant and why you would like to playtest.
Please don't feel like you 'have' to playtest to support the game. That is not the case at all. But if you are seriously interested then please apply. The playtest will most likely begin some time in the next two weeks. Just wanted to give you all advanced notice.
Feedback etc will be discussed via a Yahoo group and emails.
I eagerly look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Ben.
