D&D 4E Are you a 4e playtester?

[der_kluge]

This is a poll. Given that the 4E NDA (apparently) indicates that you can not even mention that you are a playtester, I figured an anonymous poll might be interesting. I certainly don't think a poll would violate the intent of the NDA.

I'm curious how many folks here are playtesting 4E (or will be soon)

Yes. I already am playtesting, or will be soon 0 0%
I received an email, but had to decline. 0 0%
I am not playtesting, and was not asked to do so. 16 100.00%

Looking pretty promising for ENWorld input to playtesting then.

From what I heard about NDA's, even answering yes in this poll would be a violation.

But how would they know?

Zero playtesters at this early stage, but I'm not surprised.

First, those who typically are chosen as playtesters tend to be very careful with their NDA. They probably even avoid answer a poll (especially if they aren't sure it can't be tracked by anyone). Admittedly, WotC sort of did an end run around the things that encourage this by randomly choosing D&D Insider members.

Second, the two groups chosen tend to be somewhat biased against ENWorld members. There does seem to be a lower percentage of RPGA members here for that group. Plus, the regulars here are much less likely to post on the WotC forums and thus be D&D Insider members (especially if post count was considered in the random determination).

Gleemax knows all.

Actually, I am surprised that nobody voted "yes" in this poll yet, even if he/she is not a playtester. It is, however, bound to happen sooner or later. I voted "no", of course.

Actually, I am surprised that nobody voted "yes" in this poll yet, even if he/she is not a playtester.

But if we get an incredibly low number then we can complain that the ENWorld community is under-represented in the playtesting. Why make a spurious vote when it might mean you lose the validity of that?

No one will vote yes as it would break the NDA to tell the site owner and moderators.

For those of you who are play testing....you're bastards!!!!

Sorry I'm just sour about not being asked
