5e.... D&D Next Playtest OOC - Full

Malvoisin · May 20, 2012

If I'd be welcome, I would enjoy the opportunity to check out the new rules edition (and to dip my toes back into the pbp waters).

Thanks!

I would like to throw my hat into the ring for this. I would like to run the fighter or rogue pregen...casters are my weakness.

I'd love to try a wizard...I am intrigued by the whole "at will" AND "Vancian" thing they've been discussing.

I'd want to look things over first, but my inclination would be to play the casty-cleric.

I'm gonna go start a thread to DM my own playtest, as it looks like a lot of people want in, so I'll take overflow.

I still would like in as a player with you, renau1g.

I'll play anything but my preference is for a Dwarf or Human, Fighter or Cleric(Smashy).

So Piratecat has posted about guidelines for discussing the playtest.

I think we can probably manage to run a PbP around these restrictions if we're cautious. Keep the character sheets offline, stick to narrative play, posting dice rolls only (no modifiers) and leaving the mechanics in the DMs hands.

But we'll probably want [MENTION=2]Piratecat[/MENTION] to weigh in just to make sure we won't be stepping on any toes.

Yeah, I can keep all the monsters/PC stats in Maptools no problem, keep it updated that way. It'll make it challenging, but hopefully we can work around it.

Do we need to sign up for the playtest ourselves, or is this a group thing where we're all already participating due to our involvement in the game?

hafrogman · May 24, 2012

You'd need to sign up to get the documents since nothing could be shared, but according to Charwoman Gene is his thread, the documents come out and say specifically no PbP, so this whole discussion is probably moot.
