Xavier Onassiss Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 This past Saturday, I road-tripped to Armored Gopher Games in Urbana, IL and playtested my Star Hero/Terracide scenario for GenCon. A total of five players turned out for "Memetics of Treason", most of them Hero System noobs. I know of at least one forum member who's signed up for this event at GenCon, so I won't post any spoilers here -- I'll just say that the playtest went quite well. The players found their characters interesting; always a good sign. The story kept them engaged (one said he was on the edge of his seat through the whole thing. ) and the pacing was just about right -- I had a couple of optional encounters I didn't need. Hopefully at GenCon I'll step things up a bit and fit them in. I did find a few things which are going to need minor adjustments, but that's exactly what playtesting is for, so this is not a problem. Overall, it was a very good four hours of gaming -- and I'm really looking forward to running this scenario again at GenCon! Don't look at me, Xavier Onassiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
