creation in a vacuum.

Shouldn't be done. Have lots of play testers lined up, friends and family enthusiastic because I'm enthusiastic, some ideas bounced off j.p. (very busy working on centinial horror) good leads but not game designer okay with compromised vision for game play? Game board geek gigantic overwhelming source of information too much potential to lose own vision in a sea of good ideas. All problems. Potential solution found, went to game cafe (www.playgamecafe.com) independence Missouri game store inquired about play testing, found out gurushargames.com local game designers put out own game, will get/play soon. Talk to them soon discuss design from similar point of view in person get out of echo chamber of own head.
