Ahhh what a fine day for adventuring with all of these weird wacky creations found on the wiki. Time to playtest them to make sure they aren't to weak or too strong. Anyone who has content they would like to playtest can leave a comment with the content in it. This is for adventures specifically there will soon be a game that is just for combat and nothing else but that is a future project.

So, not to rush you or anything but what kind of time frame are we looking at, for start and end? Will it be a one-shot that we do as soon as possible? A longer campaign that requires some prior setup? Will the playtesting begin in a month or multiple months? Is there anything I can do to help organize / run this and take work off your plate?

Thank you for your inqueries Vark! Im planning to start in a week or so on one shot short adventures that i have designed to test the characters on multiple levels including teamwork, one on one combat, out of combat ability and ease of campaign integration. Ad of the moment i am alright but i will keep you posted if i need any assistance Cotsu Malcior (talk) 08:15, 19 August 2018 (MDT)

Right now, I'd really like the Dullahan Variant, playtested... to make sure the rules for the head are not too complex, unwieldly, or weak. Preferably as a spellcaster, to make use of the head-based spellcasting. Beyond that, having the Path of the Owl playtested would be nice, too. I'd be down to playtest the Path of the Owl, but I shouldn't playtest the Dullahan as one of the aspects I wanted to cover was accessibility. I definitely want to at least observe while the dullahan is being playtested!

If it's fine by you, I'd like to be a space marine! It's a very interesting class, and I love the concept behind it (a soldier from a far off world who has been stranded on a planet full of magic and fantasy? Is that freakin' metal or what?). So I'm thinking, why not playtest it? After all, no-one's tried it before. Quincy (talk) 16:26, 14 August 2018 (MDT)

Please playtest Oracle, Variant! I've never seen it played ever so I'd like to hear about how it works.

Cotsu Malcior (talk) 10:20, 16 August 2018 (MDT)

Anyone who needs something play tested go ahead an mark underneath it whether you want to playtest it or whether you want it to be play tested. Thank you so much for helping this take off!

I just want anyone to actually try it, doesn't have to be me but it can be. I'm probably not the best judge for it anyway, just because I don't believe anything is all that balanced in 5E anyway at least in my experience as a DM of 40-ish games and player of about half. I made the class for funsies, I never expected to use it myself so again, anyone can playtest it though I'd prefer someone better than me do it.

I am not sure what to play for sure, so I will take the mantle for ya. Is there a race you had in mind? I wanted to play core race and homebrew class for this adventure so there is a sort of "control" element to this. BigShotFancyMan (talk) 11:41, 27 August 2018 (MDT)

Unfortunately I don't have time for this myself, but I'd love for someone to playtest my pokemon races. Since I've made about 20 of them, there's lots to choose from. XD It would be pretty cool getting some feedback on them in terms of how they handle in-game. --MetalShadowOverlord (talk) 13:47, 16 August 2018 (MDT)

Edit: You'll find a list of the races I've made on my user page.

I would be so happy if you could play-test my Falconer class! :)

I'll make a falconer if you make a Dullahan? Varkarrus (talk) 15:57, 18 August 2018 (MDT)

I have two classes of mine that are available for play testing. The Polymath and Mage variant (despite some rework that is needed) are the two classes i have made and would appreciate constructive criticism for the two classes

Polymath https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Polymath_(5e_Class)

Mage varient (despite the edit header, this class is playable) https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Mage,_Variant_(5e_Class)
