Gabe,
This is an area which should be addressed several times a year. I conduct playtests and facilitate playtests for a number of designers and publishers (Compass Games, RedImp Games, Decision Games, Stonemaier Games, etc.) throughout the year and the feedback is absolutely invaluable and I’m stunned by how many Games appear on KS that have clearly never seen the light-of-day beyond a small group of folks. Of course, 30-45 days later these same games serve as the soulless games which litter the KS graveyard.
Cheers,
Joe
