Play tester advice

[Archon42]

Hello y'all!

I am new here, and I am looking to be more active in the community. I have been writing a lot of content and intend to publish a book using the Dungeons and Dragons 2024 rules. I was wondering how you all get play testers? I know it's easy to get someone to play your game, but how do you get others to try it without worrying someone is going to take your content and run with it?

Any and all advice would be very welcome!

Take your content and run with it? Are you worried about someone stealing your ideas or just about the game getting out of your hands in some way? I wouldn't worry about either.

I think the ideal plan to find playtesters for D&D content is to play D&D in general with a lot of different people and then invite the ones you suspect are likely to give you useful feedback to do some playtesting, optimally in several separate groups. Scale this operation up or down according to what you have time and energy for, how much feedback you really need, and how much fun you are having.
