[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 3942866, member: 14197"] I am guessing that they can do both simultaneously. While working on improving the game through playtesting, they get a fairly firm grasp of the concepts behind the 4e system, it's core paradigm shifts and can then consider and develop adventures accordingly. If they learn the core basics about how the environment can shift an encounter, or how per encounter abilities can alter the combat, then they can take their already well developed adventure writing skills and adapt to develop adventures based around interesting encounters. He would be an obvious choice for a playtester since he writes for Dungeon already, and because he knows the inner workings of many of the high profile 3rd party game companies because of his freelance experience, he can both plan adventures and playtest at the same time. He's got experience writing adventures and supplements for the varied 3.x audiences. [/QUOTE]
