[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 5897208, member: 50987"] [b]DM's Log: May 1, 2012. The Day I Sent the Invitation[/b] I sent an e-mail out to my gaming group this morning: [INDENT]"Remember how I told you guys that they were developing the 5th Edition of D&D? Well, on the 24th of this month they are releasing a test version of the new rules and inviting feedback. Would you guys be interested in participating in a little playtesting? It will take about 2 hours, I imagine. I think we could do it before our usual gaming session. (It will be completely separate from our regular game in every way.) If everybody agrees, I will send out the rules and pre-generated characters a few days before the test so that everyone can read up on it beforehand, and then we will schedule an extra-long gaming session a few days later. What do you guys think? Wanna give some feedback?"[/INDENT] Well, here are the responses I received: ----- Bob: [COLOR="Sienna"]"Sure that sounds like it would be fun. Count me in. Quick question..."[/COLOR] and then he asked a question about a prestige class he would like to use in our regular 3.5E game.
