[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7739069, member: 37579"] Not really. There were other versions released between public packages that were tested internally, and some stuff was never updated in the public documents. But it's a misrepresentation to say they were "old". The public packages were focused on mechanics and implementations that they wanted to concept test and get feedback on. They were compiled from stuff that had already been seen by the private playtesters and was deemed interesting enough to upgrade to public testing. But the 5e playtest was as much about concept testing and getting a feel for what people wanted from the game. I'm less certain that's the case here, because there's far less time to gauge reactions and people are only going to see the one playtest. That [I]was[/I] the case with the [I]Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle[/I], which reflected the playtest as it was around the time it was printed, and was out of date by the time GenCon 2013 rolled around.
