Wednesday Night's Game Session - Playtesting for CanGames, 2017, Part One

As mentioned in yesterday's blog entry, the Wednesday night gamers had agreed to forego their regular gaming session in favour of playtesting one of the scenarios that I'll be running at CanGames 2017.

The players arrived at my place around 7:00 pm, and we chatted for about 10 minutes about how things have been and the week's events. Once I was ready to game, we talked about which of the three systems they wanted to playtest - Coriolis - The Third Horizon, Primeval, or Tales From the Loop - and I was completely unsurprised when the group chose to playtest the Primeval scenario that I'll be running at the convention.

I won't discuss any of the details of the playtest session here, other than to say that the scenario, "The Dixmude Affair", played out pretty well, and the events of the scenario fit nicely into the time slot for the convention (roughly), with just a hiccup or two here and there. The scenario has a little bit of everything in it, and the players made a few suggestions here and there where stuff could be tightened up, but overall the game session went really well and was quite enjoyable.

Not sure what we'll doing gaming-wise in two weeks time, but I'm hoping the group will playtest another of the game systems and scenarios I'll be running at CanGames the week or so after that session.
