By Kim Mohan, Playtest Coordinator Our Group of the Month "tour" started in California, went to Colorado, and now moves farther east to Tennessee. Rob Lee, head DM of the Nashville Roleplaying Guild, did a marvelous job of organizing and transmitting thousands of words of feedback that he and the other members of the group came up with. One of my clearest memories of working with Rob's group is their willingness to tell us what they liked about the new rules in addition to what they didn't like. The designers appreciate hearing positive feedback as well as the other kind-not just because they like getting praise, but because it helps to know what parts of the system are the most popular. The upbeat attitude that Rob and his fellow gamers had all throughout the project is evident in what Rob wrote when I asked him for his general impressions of the playtest process:
My Thoughts on Playtesting By Rob Lee Playtesting the 3rd Edition DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game has been a huge thrill for all of us. Everyone at Wizards of the Coast has been helpful, understanding, and professional during the past year. My players and I were pleased when we began e-mailing suggestions and opinions that were actually being taken seriously. The designers at WotC have really listened to what the playtesters are saying. Certain rules and even entire chapters have been rewritten due to the opinions or arguments of the playtesters. We have updated our character sheets at least 5 times due to major rules changes and each time has made for a better gaming experience. The new DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game is going to be the best roleplaying game ever released for one reason. The players are saying what they want, and the designers are listening. As for us, we're just happy to be part of roleplaying history. |
