How much in the way of rules will we get when the public playtest begins?

[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 5788768, member: 10479"] Here's something that has been confusing to me. By "public playtest" do they mean that going forward playtesters will not be under an NDA and many of the details will be hashed out publicly, even by people not part of the actual playtest? Or will playtesting be done just by those who sign up and discussion restricted? Obviously, the public playtest of Pathfinder was more easily done by Paizo because they were building on an existing, publicly available system, so there weren't many, if any, secrets to be held close to the vest. I'm not sure if the 5E playtest will actually be "public." Anyway, it seems they have two methods to playtest a game with the scope they have proposed. Either they run 4E games and add in some new rules for including characters from other editions or they allow people to run games from any edition and provide new rules to allow characters from any edition. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
