Ron Edwards:
Hi Daniel,

I think I need to clarify one key point: playtesting threads are also supposed to be in Game Development. The Actual Play forum is discussions of playing published games. Therefore, yes, this thread can be for your discussion of playtesting, but if so, it also belongs in Game Development and should include the requirement.

Your first post presents a sort of twin identity, with the first part being about your play history, and therefore apparently suitable for Actual Play, but then hops straight into game design. Therefore it serves as a good introduction (as you intended), but the question is which way do you want to go: more discussion of playing published games, or more discussion of your game in development.

My reading of the post suggests the latter, and your reply looks like you're confirming that reading. I would like to accept your suggestion that this thread continue to focus on your playtesting, but again, that suggestion carries with it (i) moving to Game Development (which I can do easily; you don't have to do anything for that); and (ii) eventually posting an external link. Please understand that this is not punitive moderation, but rather helping you to match your needs in posting here with the forum's structure.

Best, Ron"

Daniel36:
In that case I don't mind you moving it to the game development part. I will just use this one as a playtest area and make a new one for game design discussions. Perhaps it's a good idea for another forum section for getting to know each other. The reason I started this thread first was I would've felt cocky if I went straight to my game without you guys knowing who I was. But then, maybe you guys all know each other really well.

Thanks for the clarification. I am getting closer to releasing a beta-version.

Ron Edwards:
Excellent!

I do appreciate the opening information in your post. It helps anyone reading about your game to understand your perspectives and goals.

Please don't concern yourself about appearing cocky or not fitting in. People at this website do not concern themselves with outsiders and insiders; it's all about working on our games and working out ideas.

Moving to Game Development now. I'll look forward to seeing the link to the new draft when it's ready.

Best, Ron
