Playtesting.org is a TTRPG blog, reborn after years and now focused on QuestWorlds, Chaosium’s newly released narrative RPG. I once wrote about HeroQuest, the game that became QuestWorlds, and with the system now officially released under the ORC license, it’s time to dive back in, share ideas, and help grow the community.
Whether you're a veteran of Hero Wars and HeroQuest, or just discovering QuestWorlds, I hope you’ll find something useful here.
