Playtest Info

[ingress]

Welcome to the Ingress Playtest Community.

Playtests are used for trials of this game setting and it's mechanics. Want to test out a new character? Or the game itself? Feel free to jump in on any of the current Open/Onging posts. (labeled in the subject) Playtests will not happen every month, but during an active phase, they will open within the fist week of the month and close in the last week of the same month.

Each Playtest will be composed of one Main Post, and one Plotting Post.

Main Post: contains
- the physical description of where your character enters this world.
- the NPCs available to interact with.
- delayed released threads; when monsters attack, when buildings collapses, ext.

Plotting Post: contains
- the bestiary of monsters/creatures/challenges/traps (feel free to use these as needed, or to wait for delayed released threads, all plots are flexible and open to player drive)
- adventure tools; links to dice rolling website, and how to play posts that have been provided for game reference.
- treasure drops; benefits, bonuses, items and fictional coins earned through play.
- posts for plotting, questions, and contact.

Other important information regarding the playtest process.

characters intro'd can use this as their entrance to the game proper, if desired, and pending app approval.

characters that do not continue past playtest phase are automatically considered dead post playtest.

playtest threads do not count for game AC requirements

...on the other hand, treasure drops and other rewards claimed in playtest can be added to your character's game inventory
