How it works:
- Participants may sign up for one design at a time. Once a playtest is completed and submitted to HoSS, a participant may sign up for another design, if available.
- Submitted playtests are subject to review prior to reward points being awarded.
- Each playtest submitted for an eligible unit before March 14, 2020, will earn that playtester 1 Reward Point.
- At the end of the reward period, playtesters who have earned at least 4 Reward Points will be eligible to receive an item from the Reward Pool.
- Eligible playtesters may spend Reward Points to choose a reward from the Pool in order of points earned, starting from the highest total to the lowest eligible total.
- Ties will be broken by lightsaber duel using an online random number generator.
- Limit of 1 reward per playtester per reward period.
- Rewards will be shipped at no cost to participants in the continental United States. Participants outside the continental US will be required to pay a portion of the shipping charges. Please ask for a shipping quote before redeeming your reward points.
- On their turn, eligible playtesters may elect not to choose a Reward from the Pool.
- All unused Reward Points will carry over to any future Reward Periods.
- Playtests should be submitted using this form.
- See HoSS Playtesting Guidelines below.

The fine print:

HoSS Playtesting Guidelines
1. See the list above to see which figures are eligible to earn reward points.
2. Post in this thread that you are signing up for a playtest and the figure you are signing up for.
3. Send a PM to Porkins or mac122 to claim your playtesting slot. They will send you the text for card to be tested.
4. Figures must be playtested against official classic Heroscape units and released HoSS designs to ensure compatibility and balance. Since publicly released C3V and SoV cards have been tested against Classic Heroscape cards, these may also be used in testing.
4a. To paraphrase the C3V: You do NOT need to have the actual figures to use during your playtesting. What we most want are eyes on the design and balance of the units.
5. We recommend using BoV approved and C3G competitive maps. These maps are generally symetrical and have been extensively tested for balance.
6. Preferably, playtesters should use the Official Playtest Form to present test results. When playtesting, please make notes of any important or odd events: extremely good or extremely bad dice rolls, abilities that worked every time or never, abilities that were not used, etc. Blow-by-blow battle reports are not required on the playtest form, but feel free to include them - they often make for entertaining reading.

Sweet! I'd like to sign up to playtest Qui-Gon Jinn. Can't wait to try the Jedi master out. Don't know why my last post had such tiny text.

Cool. Go ahead and post this in the playtesting thread. I'll have the design over to you shortly.

As with many new things, the first attempt doesn't always go off perfectly. In my haste to get the new rectangular cards posted, I neglected to correct the size field on most, if not all, of the cards. So, you can see that a figure is small, medium, large, or huge, but not the size number. Apologies for this. I'll be working to correct them today.

[mac122]

No, MacGyver, duct tape won't! However, it is fixed! The links remain the same. I uploaded revised card sets for the Imperial, Rebel, and Independent faction sets. The Destructible Object set was correct.

Sorry for the foul up!

Does he even really need duct tape. He has a mullet after all. That should keep him squared away.
