Definitely Terry Pratchett, especially as he was diagnosed not long after losing my grandmother to dementia.

All joking aside, it feels like such a rare thing nowadays to spend effort on something that isn't monetised or quantified, but it's also what this hobby is built on the back of, volunteers giving their time to share their joy of the thing they love with others.

I'm always very upfront about why I run my playtesting events; I have a large ego and want to feel important.

And also the supporting the community thing.

Others have admitted it before, usually after the fact, but very few have said 'If we don't hit the actual goal (despite funding the campaign) we won't go ahead and we'll refund everyone.'

100%. Never heard of the game before but the stylised art is so much more interesting than generic fantasy portraits.

Perfectly cromulent use of the word.

Something I always tell Playfest designers is that they need to make sure their playtesters know what state the game is in, their intentions with the game (design/publication), what they’re looking to test, and what kind of feedback they’re looking for.

It really helps set expectations!
