So the playtest packages coming online tonight at midnight or tomorrow?

[Dragonblade]

My Thursday game group is chomping at the bit to get started, but we want enough time on Thursday prior to the game to read and asborb the rules before we play.

I'm wondering if WotC will continue their tradition of posting new web content at 9 PST / 12 EST, or will post sometime tomorrow.

Also, I signed up for the initial playtest back when it was first announced a few months ago. Do I need to sign up again? Or does WotC still have my initial sign up info?

Anyone know how this will work?

All I know is, I am eagerly checking the website tonight at 9.

To the best of my knowledge, they haven't announced a specific time or... well, anything other than the date and dndnext.com

The original sign-up should still be good, though. At least, they haven't used it for anything else, so I can't imagine it wouldn't be.

Cheers!

Midnight for where? Wizards of the Coast is based out of Renton, WA so Midnight for them is 3 AM for the East Coast.

I suspect that this won't come about until around noon tomorrow. That seems to be when the Character Builder updates go through.

I'm going to be checking the website at midnight - 11 pm Kansas time, when the website content usually updates - but I'm not honestly expecting it to be there.

Well, maybe- but I hope you're wrong! And it's not like they need to test the functionality of software, they just need to upload a document.

I suspect we'll see it tonight at midnight, because they want to generate goodwill with this whole process and it's ready.

I hope I am wrong as well, but if I am right, I am not going to throw a tantrum about it.

Trevor_WotC just tweeted about it.

You sign up, they digitally distribute the documents. Sounds like we'll receive e-mailed copies.

Their web articles and such almost always go up at 9pm Pacific Time the day before (because its midnight on the east coast). I'm hoping they follow that pattern here.

Now, I just signed up for this playtest this week with very little knowledge about it.

Is this something I can download and then play with my group in my house? I saw the words "public playtest" and thought maybe I needed to go into my favorite local gaming store and somebody there will run the playtest? Is there a time limit - i.e., must play by May 25 or May 30 or whatnot?

Thanks (XP for the first person who can give me the right answer - If I'm able to XP them)
