It's invaluable to get people testing at all stages of game development - especially people you don't know; they will do and say some pretty odd and wonderfully unexpected things 😊🤬🫠

Of course I'm plugging the crap out of this great little D&D adventure I published. All my federal contracts are now officially terminated.
If D&D isn't your thing, you can also buy an OpenCTD kit and build your own oceanographic instrument. You might need it.
