[Dreamscarred Press] Psionics Expanded Playtest

Bacris

First Post
It's been a while since I posted on ENWorld about the Psionics Expanded playtest, so I figured I probably should to let folks know how things are going!

If you haven't heard about the Psionics Expanded playtest and are interested in participating, join in! The playtest is free, open to the public, and you don't even need to register at our site to participate!

We have released 4 of the 6 serialized parts of Psionics Expanded thus far, each of a different theme:
Mind Over Body - psionic healing, the vitalist base class, shapeshifting options
Find the Mark - ranged psionic combat, the marksman base class, the soulbolt
Unlimited Possibilities - advanced character options (traits, alternate favored class options, alternate racial traits), the aegis base class, the erudite
Pawns and Powers - tactical options, the tactician base class

Our final two releases are still in the playtesting / development stage. We've got Master the Battle, which will focus primarily on melee combat, including new psychic warrior paths, a new base class that's set to be released into Alpha this week, and several soulknife archetypes, and then our Stealth release (yet to be named) which will include a psionic stealth class and a host of sneaky, stealthy options.

When these final two releases are done, we'll be compiling all 6 parts (as well as any errata that might be needed, and putting it all into our final Psionics Expanded: Advanced Psionics Guide release, which will be released in print format as well as PDF. :)

If you haven't been participating, we want your feedback! If you have, please continue to do so - your participation helps to find all the little things we might overlook and helps expand the options available!

So, it's been a week since the last update.

In the past week, I've posted up the Alpha release of the Dread base class and quite a bit of supporting material for it (powers and feats), a new psionic archetype for the Fighter base class, which has actually already gone into Beta, an unarmed archetype for the soulknife, and a bunch of Advanced Path feats for the Psychic Warrior.

We're working hard to get Master the Battle finished, so stop by and let us know what you think of the playtest material!

Feel free to post in this thread if you find it easier. :)

Psionics Expanded: Master the Battle should be out this month!

The Alpha release of the Cryptic base class is now available for playtesting! This is our psionic stealth class and will be the main focus of the final installment of Psionics Expanded - Hidden Intentions.

Even if you can't get actual game-play, we always welcome any and all feedback - even if it's just catching typos or cool concepts we may have overlooked!

With that being said, the Cryptic got so much initial feedback, we've already posted an Alpha 2 playtest thread.

It's being released in pieces - #1-#4 are all available now, with #5 due out once the remaining artwork is completed (the content itself is done). #6 is in playtesting and will likely be out by June, depending on how well playtesting goes.

Then we combine all 6 parts and release the final book, which will likely be sometime this summer. The printed version would likely be around August / September.

As for price - $9.95 for the PDF, $24.95 for the printed book. If you preorder the printed book now, you get the PDF free. Once it's released, that'll be a combo for $29.95.

All timelines subject to change, however, but that's a best guess.
