[QUOTE="The_Baldman, post: 3727724, member: 15080"] Ya some are not sure but we (PTB) figured that most players would not want us to be handing them stacks of 3.5 books with 4.0 coming out next year so we went with getting every early looks at 4.0 and all the 4.0 books next year. Ya Ipods seemed to be a one year deal. Not sure what the relationship with Wotc was with Apple last year but a whole lot of them went out in various tourneys and I have not see them since. We also had a new contant manager this year and rewards like that take a lot of work way out from the show to get balls rolling that I am pretty sure the new guy was not even aware of. So hopefully with 4.0 next year we can spice things up with some unique rewards again. As to playtest ya I have done more then my fair share. Feedback is taken into account all the time. When we get close to the open beta you will receive a packet. In it will be instructions on what is expected, how to report things, and NDA paperwork. This will go into a lot more detail then I can here about how things work. It is a lot of fun as it's a different type play experience but at the same time is not for everybody. I had one playtest for Fiend Folio were we did nothing but fights for 3 game sessions testing out the various CR's of monsters with pre-generated characters to see if they were where they should be. So it just depends. Dave C Gencon Indy RPGA Senior GM (that tall bald guy who announced the winning DDO teams for those that don't know me) [/QUOTE]
