Ultrablamtacular!

It’s been a long time coming, but there’s finally some movement on the playtesting front. I’m building the packet for playtesters, and that means trying out everything with my group beforehand. Lots of things have changed since the last round of playtests – even the character sheet is undergoing some serious work!

Last time, we got as far as the  setting introduction, trying out the new directed preparation template, (if you want to see it for yourself, check out the Ashes setting on the wiki), and making characters with the new rules balancing Experience and Confidence at the time play starts.

It all went well, as far as I could tell. I got a lot of input on how the character sheet should work now, so I’m laying that out again. I sat down to figure out exactly what I needed for playtesters, and created the initial playtest application form, which I’ll make available as soon as the rest of the materials are ready. I’m working on those materials – the playtest instructions, the sample adventure, character suggestions, and the post-playtest report form – as fast as I can.

So. I know it’s been quiet on the blog side. I’ll try to provide more information starting again now.
