Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
Hopefully they'll be doing a true open playtest rather than trying to make people sign agreements and the like.
If I can just get the material and use it, I'm definately going to put something together in person with some locals and give it a test drive.
Not really holding out high hopes, though.It doesn't matter what game you're playing as long as you're having fun.

Realy, all they have to do to regain consumer trust is act like Roleplayers that care about the game their making, not like a corporation that cares about the money in my pocket.
So posting it up for everybody would be a nice gesture.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
If you signed up for the email reminder you should have or be getting an email letting you know that the playtest documents are going up. You have to agree to the terms and prove you're a human, and then they'll send you info on getting the stuff a few hours early (mostly to ease server load by spreading things out I think). ''Later today'' the playtest materials should be available for everyone to get their grubby little electronic fingers on - hopefully the servers don't immediately melt...

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
They've said it's a public beta, but you need to sign an agreement before having acces to it. Depending on the content of the beta, it wouldn't be too much of a problem. Although I'm expecting it to be limiting it to private use. It's a shame though, since I was planning on maybe starting a short play by post adventure on these boards to test things out. Don't think it will be allowed.
I am very much looking forward to 5e though, everything I've read looks very promising.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
To be honest, I kind of hope that they wait until late this afternoon or even tomorrow. Can't actually get to the WOTC website here in the office and it'd be aggravating if I missed out because of a stupid Firewall.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
My download link sends me to their Customer Service. And not only DMs must go through the sign-up process, also players. That makes it much harder for me to get a group of players interested in playtesting.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
Am I only allowed to playtest it with other playtesters? Can I take this game to my regular group?

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
Well, at least there is a public beta. Guess that's better than what we could've expected.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
What are they gonna do, break into your basement and tell you to stop playing?
Though technically reading the NDA right now, it looks like no. You are not allowed to copy, display, or distribute the materials given. So each of your players would have to download it themselves. Seems an odd way to go about things.
Though you are allowed to publicly discuss your experience. So it looks like we're ok to talk about it here.

Got my packet. If you get your second email with the supposed link, go to wizards.custhelp.com and search for "Download playtest" and you should find a link. You'll have to search in the D&D results, but it's there if you're signed in.
Seems like a silly technical mistake for a bunch of nerds.

Alright, the 'search' thing didn't work. But in their twitter they had a few workarounds which worked after a bit of patience.

It's probably easier to wait until someone else uploads it somewhere and download it from there.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
Well, that's needlessly byzantine.
Okay, I signed up, got an e-mail, went to the webpage; there, that made me sign up again, download a license agreement, get an e-mail with a link to another webpage. That link doesn't work, but by searching the 'net I find a tweet pointing me to the WOTC forums. There they tell me the aforementioned link is incorrect and I need another. That one takes minutes to resolve properly, but eventually redirects to a search page which points to the download. Wow.
Also, major slashdot effect, but they should have seen that one coming.
Anyway, I've got the package; reading now.Guide to the Magus, the Pathfinder Gish class.

Alright Wizards, it's been over an hour, where's my email?
Also yes, the fuzzy word things are annoying.
