Since Lord Miles Ookami, the Just, asked for lands to playtest V8 at least once a month, let's get the ball rolling. How about we do a test day either the 16th or 23rd of this month, and then we do another playtest day the following month. I've read most of the V8 stuff thusfar and all I need is a date (so that I can get playtest guides ready).
As for what I'm planning for the first V8 Day, I'm thinking one or two militia games with armor and arrows, followed by two to three class games with the maximum level of any player being level two (to help us get accustomed to the new spells, states, abilities, and combat rules). After each class game, I'm thinking of having a quick five minute group discussion: we all get together and share our comments about V8 as it applied to the game. At the end of the day, I can pass out a quick survey.
I'm open to all suggestions and comments, and I'll be regularly checking the forums so that I don't miss anything.
See y'all on the field!
