It's either that or they are trying to stem the "5E IS TEH SUCK!!!" talk for a little longer... But honestly neither make a lot of sense.

Well if the public playtest is only a few months off, an NDA to protect their IP from competitors makes little sense. I mean what's to stop a competitor from joining the public playtest and copying mechanics then? The only reasonable reason that I can think of for the NDA is to stem some of...

Yes this is true, however the million dollar question is will people be happy with the Core rules? If they are then D&D 5e will most likely be a hit.

Yeah thus far Wizards seems to be handling the ball well. There will be fallout when we begin to see rules, but I suspect people will buy in as they give input and gain a sense of ownership over the rules.

I suppose it doesn't stop him from joining the public playtest . Assuming no NDAs there.

They will be there in one way, shape, or form, as well as the option to ignore them.

I don't think that this is fair. I wouldn't call this a PR blunder, a mis step maybe. Firing people seems a bit extreme.

yeah , this. That scenario is bound to happen . On well

Kudos to you, that's a tough one to pass up.

This.

I really don't know. This website exists as a place for news and rumours ,so I would think they would let leaks go. There is always Twitter and other sources.

Also assuming the public playtest is only a few months away it seems like more trouble than its worth.

I am really surprised they are doing NDAs. Info is going to leak. Iwould have thought that WotC would have controlled what people saw rather than trying to cap info that will get out anyways.

I doubt WotC will give us the rules to play a 1-20 game right away. Most likely smaller chunks at a time, for example levels 1-5, 5-10, 11-15, etc. I am thinking we will see only the very basic game at the start with no add ons. Then once the the basic engine is formed we will see "feats"...

What will people who attend D&D XP be able to see? Will they NDA people? Will the public not going be able to see what is shown at the convention? My guess is they will get the basic core without any add ons. We'll see roughly how the basic engine works, what a basic character looks like, etc...

They are not, and they know that. What they are shooting for is the plus or minus one standard deviation of the mean which is the largest number of gamers. When they say that this game is for everyone, it is marketing. They want you to feel like they are speaking to you and that you will get...

Holy crap!!! How long did they think he was dead.

I am wondering if the base core will be races as a class. Then by adding some kind of series of feats or templates you make a traditional class.

There seemed to be some that thought otherwise

My first reaction was " I called it!!", then moved on to a combination of hmmm that's interesting and new toys!
