Looking for local participants for Saturday playtest!

We're all waiting for Episode 3, how would you like to influence the season as we know it?


Telltale is looking for LOCAL Bay Area fans/forumers to playtest Lair of the Leviathan this Saturday the 5th, starting around 11 am. Enjoy free pizza, soda, or if you're feeling adventurous our Vending Machine of Doom. (Inadvisable, but an option nonetheless.)
Play some of the game and discuss what rocked you, what didn't, and get bragging rights to boot.

If you feel like helping out, being rad, and/or making fun of our cubicle décor, we'd love to see you this weekend!

Email nharper@telltalegames.com with some information like your name/forum handle, location, how many guests, and maybe a bit about why you'd like to be around. We'll be selecting some fancy folks and sending out the details before Saturday.

Hope to see you soon!

    Nope, local testers only please! Really! The whole point of the playtest is so the designers can look over your shoulder and ask you questions while you play.

    Sounds suspiciously like kidnap to me.
    Heh, just kidding*. I wish I lived there.

    "So, uh, you live around here?"
    "Shh."
    "Yeah, me too. Have any roommates?"
    "Argh! You made me miss that bit."
    "Do you like Thai? We can order in some Thai. If you like it, that is."
    "Seriously! Can you shut up? I'm trying to play here."
    "Does the design of the manatee interior make you tense?"
    "No. It's fine."
    "Really? You look tense."
    "Hey, stop rubbing my shoulders."
    "Sorry, I miss human interaction."
    "That's okay."
    "You like the game so far?"
    "Yes. It's quite enjoyable."
    "Oh, good! We worked really hard to make it fun!"
    "It shows."
    "..."
    "..."
    "Can I kiss you?"
    "No."

    When somebody says "Bay Area" I automatically assume "San Francisco Bay". But I should probably look that up.

    Edit: "San Rafael, CA". So yes, probably San Francisco bay area.

    Vending Machine of Doom? Do you always get Cool Ranch? Actually, "Vending Machine of Doom" sounds like a pretty good IP.

    I love the Idea. It's a shame I can't participate, but I am happy for those who can and will.


    Please make a nice video of the event, so we can all see how much fun others had.

    Hats off to Telltale for this idea - I would already have sent a dozen applications if I was local to the studio :D

    Something tells me that if I could afford the Bay Area, it would be hard to find time off from overworking myself and neglicting my family to inject any sort of joy into my godforsaken life.

    By that I mean, I'll see you guys when you make a regional office in Atlanta.
