I know you guys are a diligent, small publishing company, but have you ever talked about an Open Playtest?  It could help drive interest in the ruleset for lapsed customers & the curious who have never dived in.  I think SC 3, as the flagship product could do that.

All playtesting is carried out in-house using a coordinated list of trusted playtesters. I sincerely doubt that Crafty Games will be considering this any time in the next decade...  Undecided

The system's obviously working as is, no reason to start messing with it.

The problem I see is that the only folks I know who did an "open playtest" could do that because they could nearly give away their game system - their value proposition was hooking people on the monthly adventure releases that then use it. Crafty has never had that kind of content stream - the value is in the system itself, and the freebies/open releases tend to be the adventures, not the rules.
