Call for Playtesters

This post is crossposted at the Order 66 Podcast Forums:

Hey gang.

Work continues apace on The Embrace of Pain, the New Jedi Order to Legacy of the Force Sourcebook.

At this point, Equipment and Droids are done, and Yuuzhan Vong ships and vehicles are getting close to done.

And that means, we're close to the time of needing playtesters to put these designs through the paces...and what better way to get some of the Gamer Nation involved.

Although we are still a few weeks away from needing them, consider this a formal request for playtesters.

Should you decide to become a playtester, we need you to consider the following:

1. We need active playtesters. We don't need people who are just wanting to look at the material and never give feedback. The stuff is going to be doled out piecemeal as it's designed for a while, which means that we really need your feedback. If you don't give feedback, you'll find yourself politely kicked off the playtest team.

2. Prior RPG design and playtest experience is helpful, but not necessary.

3. We need your commitment to keep the material you are given to review confidential. Eventually, everything we do will be free for download to anybody who wants it. However, we'd like to keep the beta-test stuff from seeing a wide release, since some of it will doubtless need revisions, and quite possibly heavy revisions in some instances.

Also, if you have a desire to do some design work in the area of character stat blocks, AND have access to the old OCR New Jedi Order Sourcebook, give me a yell. I may have an opening for some design work for you.

Count me in. Give me what you need tested, and I will make it happen. Only now am I working my way through the NJO books (I'm at Star by Star). Whatever I can do to help.
