Dates and Other Things...

For a time, we were trying to keep a hint of what was coming when in the "star system" of playtesting. After the unpleasant appearance of three of our titles in one of our competitor's games in progress lists (must be getting hard for some people to come up with game ideas, I guess ... ), I have dropped that little warning system and will present the games only in alphabetical order (until they show up above).
