D&D Next/5th ed preview?

[Sylthia]

Is there a way to look at the new rules for D&D Next/5th ed without actually being a play-tester for it? I would love to look at the rules and perhaps provide feedback, but I'm currently running a PF game and really don't have the time to run a second game and my friends are less inclined to DM than I am. I know there's a non-disclosure agreement last I checked, but I wasn't sure if the preview rules were only given to play-testers.

You can just sign up for the playtest and then never actually play it. They send out surveys periodically, but you don't have to do those.

Given how easy it is to get the play test rules the NDA really just says you wont sell or otherwise distribute to the rules.

1) go to http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dndnext.aspx and click on start playtesting

2) create an account. you should get a confirmation email i believe.

3) on the http://dndplaytest.wizards.com/ site, if it hasn't brought you there already you'll see a line that reads "Have you already created an account for this new system? Sign In."

4) sign in and click on the download link, unzip it and you're done.

Yup, simple and easy. I had/made all my players sign up and download it so that I wouldn't be breaking any rules when I'm testin it with them.

well, naturally.

one should always assume that that's a step in any endeavor and best left unwritten.
