It's clearly not D&D as we know it. I don't see a single Mountain Dew can.

That's it! If DnD next doesn't support Mountain Dew at the gaming table I'm out! Who ever heard of a Dewless Dnd?

Thanks.

Do we know whether or not it is going to be streamed live online?

Given that, IIRC, the seminars require a signed NDA to get into, I would be highly surprised if they will be streamed.

No conversion would be odd. I'd put money on simple conversion, though.

I'm betting the new edition retains the d20 ascending AC system, I can't see them ever going back to descending, so conversion of 1E materials could be something as simple as inverting the old descending ACs to make them ascending (old AC7 becomes AC13, etc.) and a few other minor rules issues that can be handled on the fly during the game. If that's the case, WOTC would be smart to put out the older edition materials as PDF or POD again and have an instant back library of product available for the new rules when they are released (or better yet, when they release the playtest!)

WotC reversed that earlier this week. But it's about 15 minutes to launch and I don't see any signs of live streaming. Maybe we'll get a podcast recording later.

or maybe they will be. You know we are crazy like that.

Baldman (the organizer) said this, but it has been denied by the WotCs...most recent update was that there would be no NDA for the seminars.

That would make my day. I want to know as much as possible, right now!

I believe there was a tweet saying that the seminars would not require a signed NDA.
