My basic question is this...

To whom do we mail our legs, kidneys, balls, or other bodily parts to playtest this new edition before it comes out, so as to address the invitable rules oversights or oddities before they go to print?

Oh YEAH! Man, I got a group that plays every week. A good mix of newbies and vets and even a lady (my wife). What else do yo want? I will break my neck to do it!

To me. No need for the balls, just three working hearts, five working lungs, three working livers and eight undamaged spinal columns and I can get you into the playtesting group, honest.

Trust me.

Proofreading volunteer. Let's not have as many slip ups in the rules in this new edition.

I sure as hell wouldn't mind volunteering my time. After all, I have nothing better to do, other than spend all day surfing these forums. :D

I also would like to volunteer for this onerous, indeed hazardous duty.

As it is, I can guarantee 3,1/2 working pairs of lungs (1/2 because one has asthma), 4 rather damaged kidneys and 2 dodgy livers (hey, they're Irish), and at least 4 hearts.

No, none of them are mine...

I want to do it too! Any organs but the liver should be unharmed, and my lungs are clean as a baby´s. :oops:

Seriously, do you think there´s a chance for any of us to actually get to do it?

I think it's safe to assume everyone on here is very probably willing to playtest.

They should send out a copy to everyone then. We would still pay for the finished book, right? *mintcar´s wishfull thinking disregards logic*

Well I'd pay for a pdf version. I have some issues with physical space here right now (glances at mountain of books still looking for a proper shelf). It would be an interesting idea to let the fan community have a chance to error-check the book; you'd get the advantage of literally thousands of eyes catching every dot on every i and cross on every t, but we all know it ain't happening. Guess a guy can dream though, eh? :)

Pdfs are what I really want. My lifestyle at the moment (and for the foreseeable future) just doesn't support the purchase and storage of more books. I am having enough trouble with the ones I have now.

I'd love to playtest or proofread the thing, just to be able to come over here and make cryptic comments that show I know something that most of the rest of the people here don't. :D

This is why Tanamous has made serious investments in RPG devleopment. It's like bio-gold.

I guess the playtesting for SR4 up and running, so it's too late for all of us who aren't part of it - and i would love to be playtester. :please:


Wonder who of the dumpshockers is actually a writer for it.

Ssssh.

We knew that.

Honest.



Well, OK, it occurred to me about a tenth of a second after I clicked the 'add reply' button...

I read in another thread that they have all the testers they need.

A little wet work may clear that problem up though...

I want to be the first to go on record to offer my services as a playtester when 5th edition comes out. My calender is clear in 2012.

We can all playtest while we eat steaks and wait for the dance to begin!

I've got a reliable group running two times a week now. One of my players previously did some design and playtest for Ars Magica. Drop me a email/pm Kag.

I'm not sure if that last comment was directed at it, but just to be clear, I was being facetious. I am not a playtester, nor do I have any official relationship with Fantasy Productions LLC, WizKids Games, the deceased Freedonian Air and Space Administration, Techno Jesus, or any other organization involved with the creation or playtesting of Shadowrun. I would, however, jump at the chance to be a part of it just like everyone else here.
