Want to say thanks to you and all of the other Cracked writers who have inspired me to begin writing.

You get lost in the woods with a creature known only as 'The Hug Monster', you are allowed to bring along five other Cracked employees/writers. One of them will be eaten by a giant praying mantis. One will turn on you, revealing that they brought you all out here to serve their nondescript master. One of them becomes deathly ill and is a burden on the group. One of them is Brett Rader. The last one is secretly videotaping the whole thing, but will probably be killed when they get too greedy for 'that one perfect shot'. Who fills what roles, and why?

Haven't yet read Futuristic Violence yet, but I am fairly certain it is a whole new story with new characters. Also, you could read Spiders without having read JDatE. The characters carry over, but except for a few small references to the first book, the story stands very well on its own.

How much playtesting did you do, and how much tweaking came about as a result of playtesting?

What were some challenges that you ran into that you didn't expect/didn't prepare for?

Thanks for the answers! I've been slowly working on some of my own games.

I saw that y'all use The Game Crafter and was wondering what your experience has been with their poker tuck boxes? I've only ordered one thing that used it (a playing card deck I made), and it sadly hasn't held up too well. The cards are great quality, but the box is a bit lacking.

I'm not worried about this for when I'm just ordering a prototype or something for myself, but I don't know that I'd want to ship a game with that quality of box. I dunno, maybe I just got a bad one.
