At Gencon this year I was asked by DARPH NADER a few questions I hadn't really thought about. He asked me exactly who was who as far as the Design Team and who helps keep the game running are. He made it clear that not a lot of people know who is even doing stuff, I found this an interesting point. I guess I just don't think about that stuff because I'm involved in helping Design and test pieces and just thought everyone kind of knew. So here you go those of you who would like to know or care to know are the current Design Team. If I leave anyone out please chime in with what you do to help.
Set 5 Designers: Deri Morgan (fingersandteeth) Trevor Peyton (thereisnotry) Brad Phillips (TheCelestialWarrior) Scott Stykes (Sithborg)
Lead Playtester set 5: Mike Giles Wacoblaze
Set 6 Designers: Daniel Stephens (Echo) Les Eller (Leshippy) Lou Vasillian (Lou) David Weeks (Weeks)
Lead Playtester set 6: TBD
So there you go. Those are the people in charge of getting you sweet, awesome new minis to play with. I mentioned on SHNN tonight about how much we go to the "what you want to see" threads and how we use both that and the Bloomilk custom boards for ideas on characters. We do what we can to constantly make new interesting pieces everyone can enjoy. So know your requests and ideas do not fall on deaf ears.
Also we are always looking for help in playtesting, if you have the time and are interested be sure and let Wacoblaze know. It's our game now so get involved any way you can!

Another important part of the team that we just started for set 5 is the Playtesting Committee. I've discussed this a little before, but the purpose of it is to have a group of high level players who are dedicated to playtesting and have the ability and desire to playtest hard and consistently. Of course, we've still sent stats out to anyone who wants to volunteer, and that is still very useful, but the PT Committee can now look at the playtesting reports sent to us by those playgroups from all over the world and analyze the report and maybe do more of the similar kinds of testing. It's a handpicked group of people who have shown that they are both incredibly dedicated and incredibly skilled at the game so they can give very high quality playtest reports. They are all people who have been playtesters in the past and did exceptional work in that role.
The Playtesting Committee for set 5 consists of:
Daniel Stephens (Echo) Tim Ballard (TimmerB123) Les Eller (LESHIPPY) David Weeks (Weeks) Bronson McNellis (ultrastar) Jason Kiernan (urbanjedi) Graham Bingham (greentime)
The PT Committee for set 6 has not been decided on yet.

As a customizer, I find this both gratifying and scary that anyone outside the small circle of customizers actually pay attention to what we do ....

Thanks. Maybe this should be a [ Sticky ] both here and at SWGamers, and have the same post updated as new sets are planed. You could even backdate it to include the set designers from sets 1-4 +mini and Epics if different members were involved. I know there are always going to be minis from every set that some will not like, but that does not mean that as a community we are not apprehensive of all the hard work that gos into the vsets. Plus the main fact that its the vsets that have kept the game and community going/together since WOTC dropped the game . So a big thanks to everyone involved and long may it continue
