After the disappointment of yet another awesome game designed by a friend that they don't want us to publish I took one of my older designs to Newcastle Playtest last week.
Normally I take a bag with six or seven games, last week I took one.
And to be honest, I wasn't really looking to play it.
I'd not played it in about three years.
It was there as a fallback if we needed games to play.
As it turns out, we did.
So I got it out.
Tried to remind myself of the rules.
We had five players.
I had to tweak things as we went.
But there was some potential there.
And the great crowd of designers and playtesters gave me feedback.
Useful feedback.
And ideas.
My head has been fizzing with ideas all week.
I've been frantically crafting a new version since Tuesday.
I've got a slot at the Playtest Zone at the North East Tabletop Expo on Friday afternoon.
I was going to play Jotunsaga or Siren Song.
Now I think I'll play the new version of The Uprising: Saga instead.
Need to finish the prototype first!
