Playtesting/Balancing

[kahlzun]

Does anyone know how to playtest an RPG for balance? Is there a system? What do you look out for?

For reference sake, I'm working on an old-school pen-and-paper RPG called 'Fallen' which takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Think Mad Max and Judge Dredd, and you're along the right lines.

Thanks for any help

No-one? bummer.

Honestly, just play the game a lot with some buddies and work out the kinks yourselves. Being familar with other PnP games obviously helps. Know what makes those games balanced and you should be able to transfer the balance over, maybe.
