1984 Prime Update

Jackie is running a playtest session of 1984 Prime tonight. The printed version, not the new fiddly mechanics that I'm liking the direction.

Taking a cue from S. John, here's the current incarnation of my playtest feedback form.

1. Setting:


• What worked?
• What didn't?
• What three things stand out as cool?


2. System:
• What worked?
• What's missing?
• What sort of feel did the mechanics evoke? (Respond as theory-laden as needed.)


3. Physical book:


• What's unclear?
• What do you think of the cover and the back flavor text?
• What do you think of the layout, fonts, images, etc inside?


4. Session/overall:


• What stands out in your mind as part of the in-game world?
• What stands out in an out-of-game context?
• What sucked the most?
• What was the best?


5. The missing question:


• Would you play it again if you didn't know the author?

Also in Prime-related news, I've got the opportunity to run an ad in the program booklet for Nuke-Con in Kansas.



Thanks, Hieronymous!
