The very first thing I thought of was playtesting and content provision
of other partners (at least this is no issue with illustrations :-).
However it might be a bit quick to wonder since to my knowledge no one has
got the NDA yet.
The current procedure of the NDA that Ryan has proposed while streamlined
and time-saving (great for us); does seem I bit insecure. I would assumed
some authentication would be required past replying to emails.
I assume that playtesting will be covered with the guidelines setout for
the public demo games that have been run, but to not to be used in a
public forum. eg. I might be able to playtest this at my home with a
strict list of players but not at my local gaming club.
We will see... :)
