A good gentleman named Dain hosted a Battle playtest which prominently featured a naked Benjamin Franklin. Dain did an absolutely stellar job with his retelling, providing a treasure trove of detail and information. This was profoundly awesome! Dain picked out a number of clarifications and edge cases that need to be clarified in the text.

Seth Ben-Ezra performed not one, not two, but four battle playtests, and a versus playtest, and told his story at the Forge. This is also a good thread to see the value in beta playtesting. A table procedure which I had chalked up to optional and table-specific turns out to be rather essential to successful play. Seth’s first game bottomed out without the procedure, and later games with that procedure worked much better. So that one’s going directly into the game text.

Thank you so much, guys; these playtest reports are awesome, and incredibly useful!

I’m on Canon Puncture Show 18, where Chris Perrin talks with me about the Sons of Liberty playtest. Thanks, Chris, for the opportunity!

Then there’s three AP reports on the Sons of Liberty Versus Mode:

First, Chris Perrin’s Lunch Hour Playtest, in which Franklin opens strip bars… for liberty!

And then Chris Bennet’s Pick-Up-And-Play Playtest with his non-gamer wife, a Ben Franklin afficianado.

Lastly, the playtest of Seth Ben-Ezra, who we may have to rename Chris just to maintain the theme.

Thanks, guys, for giving the game a try!
