My experience with making games is extremely minor. My father helped write quite a few Traveller supplement books and he used me for "playtesting" for the Career Books they did, though that meant "hey, can you roll up a bunch of characters for me?" and I did. My gimmick was my characters all moved from one career to another, and a reviewer for the book was happy to see mixed-career characters in the "example characters" section for quick NPCs, so yay for me. That said, there really wasn't any real playtesting done. As far as I could tell, there wasn't any effort to really balance the careers with each other (or with the Traveller core book, since they were a third-party company), and the test draft they sent me to roll up characters completely the same other than a few pages of tutorial text. Since editing seems to be the conversation right now, I'll get a hold of him and ask about the editing process for these books, because my dad got paid by the word to write for the books. It was extremely little, I think the most he got from a book was like $60. But the company was a small 4-man group, and each book was about a 100 pages. While nothing compared to the juggernauts that are Exalted and Chuubo to edit, I'm sure I can get a few stories there. And probably with the art as well, going through the books my dad wrote a few of them straight up has Poser art for the cover.
