I got invited in an event to do playtesting, but I have a problem...
Hello po! Looking for advice.
I recently received an invitation to showcase and playtest my prototype at a local board game expo. I'm really excited because it's my first invitation to something like this. Usually it's me who approaches people and the event.
The challenge is that the event found me in a difficult spot. Travel and food costs are my current hurdles. But I was told that they'll give me a table for the sessions, and the game is very playable but still not perfectly balanced.
For those of you who've been in a similar situation, how did you handle it? Did you self-fund, find sponsors, carpool with other creators, or do some form of crowdfunding? I'd love to hear your experiences and any advice.
I really love my game, and opportunities like these rarely drop by. I would really appreciate any opinions. Thank you!
