====== Playtesting Homepage ======
These pages are meant for both Players and Game Masters!

This page and the sub-pages contained within are meant to help organize and display Playtesting content that is currently active for the club. It also defines the various Playtesting categories and sorts the active projects into these categories.

If you're a Player, links stemming form this page contain material you may elect to test and use for your character, in order to help gauge their power level, intuitiveness, and/or performance.

If you're a Game Master (GM), the info could be used for NPCs to test the same aspects as above, or to inspire new mechanics and magic items. 

A guide on how to best use and collect feedback for Playtesting material is given in the PFC Advanced Player Options (Link TBD).

If you are interested in submitting material for playtesting, please use and follow the [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eJkQ92nBeycwv8F-h9cKzY2sicdd_LEIYyjk8BLih3U/edit?usp=sharing|Formatting Guidelines and Standard]]. Please follow the Voice and Tone style guide to mimic the existing PFC material. It is recommended to make a copy of this document to preserve the heading and page settings. Use Copy and Paste for tables and templates. **//Included inside are REQUIRED playtesting sidebars that you must include for Ex Archivis and Early Access material.//**

===== Ex Archivis Playtesting =====
//**Ex Archivis**// (or **//Release Candidate//** or //**Gamma**//) status is used for materials officially approved for in-club public playtesting. This means any character can choose to spend EXP to purchase or use the material. GMs are encouraged to allow this material on their games, but are still able to elect not to use it. This is the last stage of playtesting where feedback and larger scrutiny can be given before it may be officially added to the PFC Player's Guidebook or the Advanced Player Options. Note, this material isn’t official material until it’s added in a compile, and is still subject to change, and may not be allowed on all games.

===== Early Access (Beta) Playtesting =====
//**Early Access**// (or **//Beta//**) status is given to material that has been reviewed by the Approvals and New Materials team, and can be used for explicit playtest games or campaigns. Players should always ask if the GM will allow Early Access material. Characters with this material are considered Playtesting status, so it is always recommended to "branch" off a copy of your character if choosing to learn or use this material. One copy can be under playtesting while the other copy is the official one in the PFC. It is the player's responsibility to keep track of EXP, Gold, and Items on both copies of the character.

* This material has been submitted and is currently under consideration for Early Access. While it is under consideration, it is not considered active for playtesting.

===== Alpha Playtesting =====
//**Alpha**// is a status given to material that’s currently being written. Approvals or the New Materials Team does not regulate or oversee the material at this stage. As such, it is completely unofficial and usage is relegated only to unofficial characters. Materials in Alpha include any and all AQ homebrew materials not officially approved by approvals. Alpha material does not have to be shared or listed on this page, but you may elect to have it shared here to elicit public feedback. [[rulings:alpha|See details on Alpha projects here]].
