The answer is no.

Super disappointed personally.

That’s unfortunate. I was hoping to earn some playtest points, but I respect the reasoning behind it. Maybe another time.

Thanks for the responses.

This just guarantees that the pool of play testers will be significantly smaller than it could have been and the rules being tested will get little to no exposure to the nuances of org play that could impact the final versions. Disappointing is softest way to describe the reaction, but it seems to be increasing in frequency.

I mean, people could just play the magus and summoner in society scenarios for no credit.

Based on James’s response, I wouldn’t expect PFS to allow any future playtesting. The goal of any playtest is to push the rules to 11, and if they feel that isn’t right for PFS play(and I can see their perspective), then it seems they will remain incompatible.

I would hope that we get some level of playtest, just to showcase some mechanics, even if they are not pushed to eleven, might clash with the way scenarios are written.

I'm also partially disappointed, but that doesn't stop me!

Looks like this won't be the case after all...
