So you're an original TNE playtester? Cool.
How did we do that? For some reason the playtest that I really remember
was for DJ, where we knew there was a mole/leak in the system, and we had
to painstakingly distribute the playtest sets with strategic typos so we
could identify the leak. DJ was unlike everything else we did in that
cloak-and-dagger stuff, as only it had all of the licensing and legal
issues.
Good times.
