How do we get on a playtest list?

Mongoose
I was wondering how do we get on a playtest list for upcoming products with Mongoose. As I read people typing about how good upcoming products are and how much they cant wait to get the full product. Or are those people members of mongoose in house so to speak. I would like to be on a list and help contribute in a way to a game I enjoy playing.
 
They do use external playtesters. Although some of those posts you see are from the author or editor for the product.

Last time there was a post for Traveller playtesters it was closed in under 24 hours.

Send an email to Matt explaining why you should be on his playtest team.

Begging and crying are also effective tools I hear... :lol:

Long term pestering can also be effective, if done properly and with respect.

A simple email as suggested is your best route into playtesting for any company.
 
Of course, this means that Matt is going to be bombarded with emails asking to be on the playtest team now...

Let me add my experiences to get involved w/play testing.

- I emailed the person Matt told me to (with Matt's recommendation)
- I responded to the call out for play testers
- After a long wait I received the NDA to sign and return.
- Several months after that I got my first play test item.

The first step happened Aug '08 and ended the beginning of Jun '09.

I had to remind myself along the way that there is quite a bit on the plates of everyone at MGP and patience pays off.

Good luck!
 
The Traveller testers list is currently full, so don't bother mailing anyone at the moment. If we require further testers I will post a request on this board.

Thanks
