[QUOTE="Justin D. Jacobson, post: 1661733, member: 18946"] We do, in fact, intend to playtest the product. My post was a general announcement and not a day-to-day outline of the product development plan. I recognize that playtesting--like every other part of this project--will be difficult on our short schedule. I merely look at that as another challenge. I am likely to actually pay the playtesters depending on the amount of material and the deadlines involved. We're not there yet, so I haven't decided. Additionally, Bagpuss has it right. We will be using the pdf as an additional pipeline for feedback, which will permit us to correct any problems for the print version. We will also be able to release an updated version of the pdf if necessary. This is essentially the same model that Malhavoc uses--to good effect in my opinion. Obviously, this is a matter of opinion. The asterisk I was torn about because of the similarities you mention. Frankly, it's little more than a place-holder, as the official logo will have an actual star (well, an actual picture of a star), not an asterisk. As far as the name is concerned, I wanted to emphasize the new-world-building aspect of the setting--not the distance from Earth, which would be accomplished by your suggestions. Personally, I find the assonance of "Dawning" and "Star" to be satisfying. But, that's what makes horseraces, right? [/QUOTE]
