The playtest spreadsheet that allskulls and I have been working on is mostly done. The only thing remaining at this point is tuning and calibrating the formulas, and to do that we need real data. That's where you guys come in! :P
Using the attached scorecard, we need data from playtests of official figures (not customs) so we can calibrate everything. There are 3 types of matches: 1-on-1, 1-on-squad, and team-on-team. For each one, we need 5 different matchups, with 10 games each. So that works out to 150 games total, which is obviously too much for one person to do alone. Volunteers? :) :)
The official figures we need tested number around 10-15, due to the need to test different types of figures. But to start with, we need to do:
Raelin the Kyrie Warrior (SotM version)
Captain America
Krav Maga Agents
If people could "sign-up" for what tests they'd like to do and then send me the data it would help tremendously.
For Raelin, some of the test are alredy complete:
1-on-1 Matches
vs. Kaemon Awa - all 10 games complete
vs. Krug - all 10 games complete
need 3 more matches for 1-on-1
1-on-Squad
vs. Nakita Agents - all 10 games complete
vs. Tagawa Samurai - all 10 games complete
vs. The Einar Imperium - all 10 games complete
need 2 more matches for 1-on-Squad
Team-on-Team
Raelin (SotM), Sgt. Drake (SotM), 3x 4th Massachusetts vs. Kee-Mo-Shi, Ne-Gok-Sa, Isamu, 2x Marro Stingers, 3x Marro Drones - 6 games complete, 4 more needed
need 4 more matches for Team-on-Team
for Captain America and Krav Maga Agents, nothing has been done yet.
Instructions
Download and print out the PDF file of the scoresheet: PlaytestScoresheet.pdf (http://www.hiddendragon.com/hs_customs/PlaytestScoresheet.pdf)
Fill it out as you play, then PM me the results.
The scoresheet looks like this:
http://www.hiddendragon.com/hs_customs/PlaytestScoresheet.jpg
Most of it is pretty self-explanatory, but here are some guidelines:
1. Play against figures/teams that are as close as possible in point cost. However, the spreadsheet will scale if they aren't identical. This only works within a limited range, so don't stray too far. For example, Raelin is 120 points. For opponents, try to stay in the 100-140 point range. Even 90-150 might be good. But Raelin vs. Hulk wouldn't give useful results. :)
2. Maps - only use official maps or Battlefields of Valhalla certified maps. Keeps the maps normal size - nothing tiny and nothing huge. Use maps that are "fair" (no long climbs if the test figure can't fly, etc.). The goal is for the test figure to get plenty of play, not just sit on the sidelines doing nothing.
3. Rounds - total # of round the game lasted. Partial rounds count as 1. When the test figure is destroyed, end the game. No need to go on further.
4. Attack Delivered - the # of times the test figure attempted to attack (via attack dice or d20 ability). Count all attempts, so "Double Attack" would count as 2.
5. Wounds Inflicted - total # of wounds markers inflicted.
6. Kill Points - # of kill points delivered by the test figure ( (cost/life)*(# wounds) ). For 1-on-1 and 1-on-squad, no need to fill this out as the spreadsheet can auto-calculate it. For team-on-team, you'll have to figure it out since the spreadsheet can't know which figure(s) received the wounds.
7. # attacks received - count all attempts to attack the test figure (via attack dice or d20)
8. # wounds received - total # of wounds received by the test figure. Obviously, can't exceed the figure's life.
9. Assists - these can be many things. Basically, anytime the test figure helps another figure. Raelin's aura is a great example. When rolling the extra die for defense, just count how many times that extra die was rolled, regardless of the outcome. In Captain America's case, it works similarly. Each extra die rolled for attack or defense counts as 1 assits. For d20 boosts, again the same thing - just count how many times you "boosted" a d20. Other non-die based assists are things like Carry. Everytime you carry a figure, count it as 1 assist.
10. As questions come up for other things, please ask rather than guessing. If you can't ask because you're in the middle of a game, try to records as much information as possible so we can have the data we need later. There will always be weird situations when you get into abilities like bonding and swapping control of figures.
That's it! As people (hopefully) volunteer, I'll keep a sign-up sheet in this first post of who will be testing what, so we don't duplicate effort. Thanks in advance for all the help! :) :) :)
