Testeurs pour Cipher ?

alors je pense pas qu'on va pas mettre en avant ce point de ta carrière

Quand même Ravage, faudrait qu'ils arrêtent leurs conneries, déjà qu'on avait mangé 200 pages sur Ex - Ilis le jeu révolutionnaire sans aucun joueur.

30 years old. The rookie of the group, playing HD for 1 year. I will be the writer/translator for all communication between Cypher because of my English level.
I own the whole 6 factions.

2 – Please describe your groups gaming experience.
We are a group of skilled and experienced players. We all are playing model wargame for at least 10 years (often more than that). Among the game we have played (or still playing), you will find a lot of different games, Warhammer/Warhammer 40k, Lord of the Rings, Warmachine/Hordes, Confrontation, Infinity, Uncharted Seas. Most of us have already participated to gaming convention or game competition. Our club also organize each year some of the most important Warhammer 40k competition in France.

3 – How familiar is your group with Cipher Studios and Hell Dorado?
About Helldorado, Most of us are playing since the release of the game by Asmodee. We own and play all of 6 factions in game (and we have at least one of each faction painted among the members), and willing to discover and play all new model or faction that may come next.
Last year (2009 – 2010 season), we organized and played an Helldorado campaign. This campaign has been organized in faction teams. Each faction had to fight the others (exception for the Mercenaries, who actually were hired by other factions).
The campaign was split in 4 chapters, linked together by a global story line, were faction can get advantages (or disadvantages), depending on their results at each chapter. There were, for each of them, 3 different “tracks” giving different type of points in the campaign (Primae materia, to buy food and drink for the faction, or equipment, ranking points or, … ). For each track there was a specific scenario, most of the time a customization of an official one (or even an original creation). A specific hellish envrionnement has also been designed, for this
During this campaign, there have been around 15 to 20 players involved, and 70 to 80 games played. (In the end, Immortal won, followed by Saracens and Demons).


4 – What do you feel is the biggest strength of your group as play testers?
One of our strength is that we have that capability of playing quite often, with high quality gaming board and premises. Our number will allow us to make sure that we will be able to play at least one game a week, sometime wore than that. Our motivation and experienced in that kind of games, should allow us to be quite efficient in analyzing any new rule or profile that may be created for the game.We also already have a fair idea of what are the weakness of the existing rule set. We also have several player types in our group, from the hardcore gamer, that should allow us to test all kind of situation that may occur for other players.

We are a group of skilled and experienced players. We all are playing model wargame for at least 10 years (often much more than that). Among the game we have played (or are still playing), you will find a lot of different games, Warhammer/Warhammer 40k, Lord of the Rings, Warmachine/Hordes, Confrontation, Infinity, Uncharted Seas and a lot of others.

3 – How familiar is your group with Cipher Studios and Hell Dorado?
About Helldorado, most of us are playing since the release of the game by Asmodee. We own and play all of 6 factions existing in game (and we have at least one of each faction painted among the members), and we are willing to discover and play any new model or faction that may come next.

Tournaments Organization:
We organized, in the past few years, 3 Helldorado’s tournaments, open to public, and advertized on the Helldorado Asmodee’s forum. These tournaments counted up to 12 competitors.

Campaign organization:
Last year (2009 – 2010 season), we also organized and played an Helldorado campaign, it has been organized in faction teams where each faction had to fight the others (exception for the Mercenaries, who actually were hired by other factions).
The campaign was split in 4 chapters, linked together by a global story line, were factions could get advantages (or disadvantages), depending on their results at each chapter. There were, for each of them, 3 different “tracks” giving, for each victory, different type of points in the campaign (Money for supply and equipment, ranking points for the general ranking, etc. ). Each track add, for each chapter, an associated specific scenario, most of the time a customization of an official one (or even an original creation).
For the campaign, a specific hellish environment has also been designed and created, including several customized rules. The environment was based on an area, crossed by very strong winds which could change direction during the game, and add effects on the movement capabilities of the models. It could push models depending on their previous action during the previous turn. Some specific movable objects have also been introduced, who could move depending of the wind, and could impact models to impact them (Cause or heal damage, teleport the model in a small distance or change the model from one available in the gamers side).
There have been around 15 to 20 players involved during the year, and above 80 games played. (In the end, Immortal won, followed by Saracens and Demons).
About Cipher’s other games, we don’t have any real experience about them.


4 – What do you feel is the biggest strength of your group as play testers?
One of our strength is that we all are very fond of Helldorado game, and we really want to see it continuing existing and evolving. We also have the capability of playing regularly, with high quality gaming board and premises. Our number will allow us to make sure that we will be able to play at least one game a week in our club, sometime wore than that. Our motivation and experienced in that kind of games, should allow us to be quite efficient in analyzing any new rule or profile that may be created for the game. We also already have a fair idea of what are the existing weaknesses of the existing rule set. We also have several player types in our group, from the very experienced “hard” gamer, to the more rookie one, that should allow us to test all kind of situation that may occur for other players.


To finish, if you select us to work with you on the new version of the game, and if any credits are to be given, we would like to be known as the “Boulogne Billancourt Gaming club” (Ludothèque de Boulogne Billancourt) instead of individual persons.

We hope that you will be interested about our reply, and we are waiting to hear from you.
