PLAYTESTING IS A GO

Hey everyone, Arthur Here.

Today Charles and I began the playtesting part of the writing process. We've done playtests of Cretacea in the last few months but this is our official beginning of the "official" partnership playtesting under our new contract. Most of the week prior was spent sorting out contracts, plans and ideas (as well as some tech stuff) but now we're underway.

Little "Wicked Wargames" trivia, we named some of our contractually obliged meetings after lord of the rings moments. Our monthly financial meeting is called "Durins Day" and our pre release meeting is called "The council of Elrond" - This gave us a solid giggle and definitely helped us to remember that we're running a games company, and not something to grey and dreary!

Our first few playtest games will be smaller games as one of the factors we want to focus on is minimising the model count for people who are starting out. In this game we play a small predator side of T-Rex and one Deinonychus VS Two Triceratops and and Edmontosaurus. We're filming all of our playtests to keep track of things and soon we will be releasing some playtest videos for you all to watch and be part of the process with us. 
Today we hit a wording snag in the rules so we posted it in the group on facebook and got an immediate answer. What a lovely crowd we have!
