With the playtest built into this round's timeline, I have to ask the judges if they'd be willing to do us a favor...
Could we get the level ranges for the encounters so we can start drawing up characters? Some of us are hoping to test these encounters through PbP, and the extra day or so to prepare characters ahead of time would save us valuable time.
Great suggestion, Ronars. That'd be a big help.
I'll get right on that.
BTW, default assumption for a playtest is 4 PCs of the same level, and of the same level as the CR of the encounter. If your group has more or fewer players, please mention that when you playtest. I'm also gonna post a blurb about what we'd like to see in a playtest report, just so responses aren't all over the place. :)
Ok, using acronyms instead of the location names, the CRs are (low tier/high tier):
BI 3/6
CV 6/9
ET 6/9
FWTSE 4/7
HMD 6/9
MBO 6/9
SPS 4/7
TA 6/9
Am I permitted to comment?
Ohhhh so that means 4 x 6th level could be played for each encounter - some low, some high (with a couple of slighly tougher highs).
That means I can use the same PC's for each to see how that works - many thanks!
Well, I'm recruiting for PbP these encounters. People here from Paizo get first dibs;
I likely have missed this:
Where and when do I post my playtest results? Before or after voting starts, in the submission thread or elsewhere?
In the submission thread (so it's available as feedback to the designers and something for the voting public to consider before voting). You can post them now.
Thanks a lot for the speedy answer and your relentless devotion to this contest :)
