Re: [HOE] Test Playing (SHANE)

Hi David

From a Indie Game Designers POV, when ever doing
playtesting outside your Groups saftey net, you need
to get a few things in order. 1. would be Non
Discloseur statements, that you will want signed by
all participating... I do this with my my playtest of
Pulp Era all the time. granted PE has an original
System, so I do the NDS because all of the Game is my
intelectual properties. Now since the Deadlands System
is the Property of Pinnicle, that might be another
story.
Also 2. try and get your own list serve going for all
those who have or will be playtesting the game so the
feedback can be recorded.

David I wish ya luck on your game
