June 21 Playtest Log

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!)

June Playtesting

Bring out yer prototypes!

(Or just show up to playtest!)

When: Saturday, June 21st, noon to 4pm ET. (Google Calendar)
Where: The Game Preserve at Fashion Mall Commons, 8487 Union Chapel Rd Suite 660

How to spot us: After you enter, go to the right into the open gaming area. We’ll be pushing around sleeved bits of paper, pencil-scrawled index cards, and random bits from other games. 

Indy TableTop Game Creators (https://indyttgc.org/) focuses on board and card games, but we’re interested in all kinds of games. Beginners are welcome! Early hand-scribbled prototypes are encouraged!

Please add a comment below telling us about the prototypes you plan to bring for testing!
