Playtest Club

Post Tue Feb 12, 2013 10:19 pm

We have quite a few active members now. We also have quite a few adventures on the Downloads and Showcase pages that are still shown as Playtest Editions. Many of them are way to big to be tackled in a couple nights, but there are some, especially the Adventure Anthologies, that can be completed in a short time.

I propose that we start a Fight Club, errr, I mean, Playtest Club, that meets at least one night a week on Roll20 to start running through these modules and get the playtest tags off some of them. This wouldn't necessarily be an organized and continuous campaign where XP is kept and treasure is hoarded. In fact, we wouldn't want to do that because one week might be a module for levels 4-6 and the next a beginner module. We could also playtest some of the supplements as well.

This wouldn't be a set number of players who kept the same PCs. In fact, I would suggest that whoever was going to GM that nights game (most likely whoever wrote it) would bring some pregen PCs to pass out to whoever shows up to play. I envision a sort of open house format like a pick up basketball game. I know when I used to hang out at Dragonsfoot, you could usually get into a pickup game just about any night.

So. Is there any interest in something like this?

Sure, but we aren't allowed to talk about it.

I'll keep an eye on it, but I'm not sure how my time will fit.

Joe, I am hoping this can be something that wouldn't require a time commitment. If you are available on Game Night you just drop in, grab a pregen and start playing. I'm hoping that people with adventures that need a playtest will step up the GM their game.
