I playtested the very first packet, and I am still playtesting, although I have definitely taken some breaks in between. The biggest source of fatigue for me has been watching all the mechanics I enjoy vanishing, then coming back, then vanishing again...

Ultimately, I think this is going to be another D&D4 for me -- a brilliant mission statement ruined by design goals that don't have me in mind. From my perspective, the greatest legacy of this extended playtesting period will be the death of enthusiasm.
