I post in the voice of Christopher Walken
Do you think that WotC is using a 100% new system at this point? That would mean it is already written which would make playtesting and asking for feedback more of a exercise in tweeking. The alternative is that they are trying out a few new rules at a time with a system that is at least four years old, twelve years old, twenty-two years old, or thirty some odd years old. What are the odds it is already 100% written (seemingly a year ahead of its publishing date) with plans to just change some things because of playtesting?
I think the system is basically done but they have alternate pathways it can gi down and room for tweaking. I think the real key will be hw representative their samples of playtesters will be. I think much also depends on how well they sort and listen to feedback.
So far some of the stuff I am hearing sounds good. Other things, like Themes, sounds like innovation for the sake of innovation that lots if people don't need or want in the game.
