put in requests to playtest, right? They will try things out there and say, hey, I want to run a thing next weekend who's available so that I can try this thing out. So just find some format where you're happy to be as happy as you can be to be and lowers that sort of anxiety and so on so that you can just find a group of people to kind of try through things and try it.

It is always difficult to find people, but a lot of these places at least have people doing this often enough that you're not strange, right? You're yet another person showing up to people who are ready for this and prepared for this. And that's the ideal thing is find some group like that that fits your needs, where that's the expectation is this is not particularly polished, etc.

And, you know, the beginning of this sort of said, I don't do social media. And I would say that even if you did do social media, I would not recommend kind of typical social media for this because just like random people on Blue Sky or Macedon aren't necessarily going to be great play testers.

I would still say try to find the places where this is being done by others and join that because that's going to just give you a better result. It is great to get feedback from just random people, but you will get better results from people who understand playtesting and what's expected from it.

doing what you can't do in everyday life like that's something i see new people time and time again so achieving results but results that you can't you know in this imagined fantasy space right that i can ride a broomstick or cast a spell or whatever it is that you're coming from that you can now do that instead of seeing an actor do it or reading a book about it is a huge thing and so you want to show how easy it is to do that

Yeah, I love those. I shared on a recent show that the struggle we had a little bit with Savage Worlds and Deadlands. And Deadlands has this interesting story where it was the RPG, then Savage Worlds, and so to the point where now, the current version, you buy the Deadlands set, but you also need the Savage Worlds core buckets.

And then when you're looking something up, you're like, where do I look? And the best explanation was actually their quick guide, not the Deadlands book. So that's their point number one, right? That the best way to learn the game is to go get the free product. not the paid product. But even with that, now I have three things. I have the Savage World book, the Quick Guide, and the normal book.

And then I have to decide which do I look in? And sometimes we were looking in all three. And that bogged down play, right? And, you know, I'm about to run Savage Worlds again. So I've been prepping an adventure and I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not looking forward to this continual problem of which book has the rules how.

And with what's described here in this opening question of a system that's fairly complex and allows you to choose your approach to the rules, right, your rules modules or something like that, that's going to be even more critical.
