Writing still has to be done by you, but sometimes, like with the 3E IH, some of the stuff in older versions needed pre-release-revising. (Simply unforeseeable mechanical quirks, like 'VSC vs DvR vs ECL') However, playtesting, and getting second opinions on mechanics and system-bending-effects can't be bad. Either way you still mull over the details; But with a playtest, you wont get as near to completion and have to gut old rules for more streamlined rules.U_K, you have an awesome concept in the IH, but it was a darn shame 4E beat you to the punch. As I see it, the faster you get a 4E book out, the faster people can read and recommend the book to their friends. My group was always dying to get a copy of the IH, but they are not the PDF-types, they prefer hard copies, but even still they really thought the IH was neat, and had all sorts of rules that they probably wouldn't even consider. I would love to assist in playtesting if you need any; Unfortunately, due to the holidays and wacky circumstances, I may not be able to get my group together until march or later. Even so, with other people assisting in a playtest, especially those of different design views, might lend itself better to sorting out bugs than doing it yourself and then feeding it to a peanut gallery one snippet at a time. As for writing or designing; I don't consider myself a professional at either of those, so I wouldn't want to detract from anything you could do better. I love designing things; I have dozens of CDs filled with NPCs, Homebrew-setting-junk, and the like; How much do I use? ~5%; I might be able to contribute feats, monsters, or obvious design extensions, but most of that would be post-playtest, after the main 'baseline' for the 4E IH is established.What ever you decide to do, I hope things work out better than they did for 4E; 4E seems more amenable to Immortals design, but so was 3E in comparison to 2E.</blockquote>
