Thanks to everyone who participated in last Saturday’s playtest session at The Game Preserve North! We had 11 attendees and we playtested at least 5 games.

• Mickie’s Kingdoms of Old Lavanthria
• Jay’s Dealt Dungeon (working title)
• Scott’s Adventures in Air Conditioning Repair
• David’s (game name?)
• Richard’s Delpzeller Galaxy Mission

We had 7 more playtesters arrive a bit late, with no designer available at that time to provide a prototype for them to play! We need a way to handle this in the future. Here’s what I propose:

1. Whenever possible, ask designers to not playtest their own games.
2. If two or more playtesters are waiting, one designer volunteers to step out of a playtest-in-progress to run a game for them.
3. The designer of the playtest-in-progress fills the volunteer’s position.

Our next playtest session is scheduled for Saturday, July 19 at The Game Preserve North at noon. (Carl will be late, please start without him!)
