I just got an announcement with this pretty neato news from the folks who put on Dexcon, Dreamation, and Metatopia here in NJ. If you’re going to be at GenCon this year, it’s definitely worth looking into. Plus you get to try out brand-new games before they’re even published!
Double Exposure, Inc. is pleased to announce a new area of Gen Con 2012 – the First Exposure Playtest Hall.
Double Exposure will be using their unique formula of reversing the focus of the games – allocating eager players to the requests of the Designers and Publishers!
Dozens of Designers and Publishers will present their prototypes for playtesting at the FEPH, and Gen Con attendees will be able to get FREE tickets to try out new concepts with the genres and mechanics they are interested in.
The FEPH will be running throughout Gen Con, from 9AM Thursday to 2PM Sunday. Role Playing and Story Games will be put into four-hour slots beginning at 9AM, 2PM and 8PM (10AM on Sunday). Board Games, Card Games and Wargames will be put into two-hour slots following the same schedule.
Designers and Publishers: This is your opportunity to officially tap into the giant pool of players at Gen Con – put your games on the tables and Double Exposure will find you the people you want to playtest with – give us your needs and we’ll fill them!
Players: Help to shape the next generation of games – fill out a short questionnaire about yourself and your interests, and Double Exposure will match you up with a new game that you can assist in the development of. Designers and Publishers will even put your name into the playtest credits when they release their game!
Join us for the debut of the First Exposure Playtest Hall, to be located in Sagamore 6 & 7 at Gen Con 2012.
