[QUOTE="tzor, post: 3785237, member: 12826"] I certanly don't want to insult anyone especially the RPGA, but I'm afraid it's not the right environment. It might have been, or perhaps it used to be, but it's not anymore. I remember many years ago the RPGA trying to actively recruit various local gaming groups for just such a purpose, effective playtesting of ideas. That part of the RPGA is no more. It's also not the environment to test new systems. Their environment assumes that you know how to play the game, where there will probably be a lot of 4E that is going to be new to even the most experienced player. Massive demos might help, but not the RPGA style of gaming. Mind you that's what the RPGA should be capable of, getting a number of core testers out there to experment with various aspects of the game and give reports that can be tabulated. On the other hand, I think that 4E is being developed to be more of a con game mind set anway, so perhaps RPGA is the best way to test the edition. [/QUOTE]
