PLAYTEST SURVEY 2

Have you tried using both of the playtest rule sets? *

Yes Just the playtest one document Just the playtest two document

In playtest One we used the Attributes Courage and Daring. In playtest two we changed these to Daring and Aggression. Which did you prefer? *

Daring and Courage Aggression and Daring Neither - i prefer more standard RPG attributes Either - So long as they're well defined it doesn't matter that much.

Do you think 6 Attributes are too many? *

Yes - 5 would be better Yes - 4 would be better Yes - 3 would be better No

In playtest 1 we had 6 damage trackers, In playtest 2 we reduced this to 3 trackers. which did you prefer? *

One tracker per Attribute (6 at present) Fewer trackers (3 at present)

Did your Playtest group understand the mechanic of using the Combined/Best/Worst attributes for tests? *

Yes - and we liked it Yes - but it needs to go. Please reduce this to a simpler system. No.

In playtest 1 we used threat from the regular 2d20 system. In Playtest 2 we removed this as a feature. Do you think... *

Threat isn't needed - leave it out Threat is useful - please retain threat.

In playtest two we removed Luck as a feature. Should we... *

Continue to remove luck? Retain Luck as described in Playtest One? Retain it, but use the standard 2d20 rules for fortune (i.e. Luck counts as if you've rolled a 1 on a d20)

Do you think Momentum was too easy to get? *

Yes - reduce the number of successes you can get off a D20. Yes - Increase the cost of Momentum spends Yes - Do both of the above Yes - Other suggestion No.

Did you feel the cast of thousands resolved the issue with multiple NPCs facing the PCs *

Yes - and its fine Yes - but something simpler would be prefered No - I'd prefer to just spend momentum to kill a minion NPC

Does defending need further explanation in the next playtest document *

Yes - and an example or 2 Yes - a single example will be fine No

Did you like the momentum=damage rules *

Yes - they were fine Yes - but can we make it simpler and just roll dice? Yes - but can we just use static damage instead? No - Weapons should do independent damage.

Did you think that the extra actions that could be bought with momentum were... *

All too cheap All too expensive Balanced OK. Some were too cheap and some too expensive.

Looking forward to when characters gain XP and improvements Would you prefer *

to purchase or unlock certain perks, bonuses, titles, and in-game resources? a system that provides specific bonuses directly related to particular adventures and deeds? A bit of both
