There's not much published yet, but a few of the returning DDXP attendees have started blogging about the D&D Next (D&D 5th Edition) seminars and the playtests they took part in. Regarding the latter, they're all under NDAs, so there are no details; but they do give general impressions. If you haven't yet, be sure to read the seminar transcripts - there's lots of crunchy info about the new iteration of D&D there. Or see our compiled D&D 5E Info page.
- DDXP 2012 Recap (This Is My Game) has some general impressions of the playtest, plus some non-D&D Next content.
- My first look at D&D Next (D&D The Fifth Column) - "First, the prototype of D&D Next absolutely captures the feel of classic D&D. Since I started with the Moldvay Basic Set in 1980, to me the game felt very much like Basic D&D–but there were elements which I knew would resonate with someone for whom 1e was the baseline. Talking with one of my traveling companions, who had played mostly 3.x, I found that he had gravitated to parts of the new system that evoked the feel of 3rd edition."
- DDXP 2012 Report: The First Glimpses at the New Edition of Dungeons & Dragons (Geek's Dream Girl) covers the first of the seminars.
- New info on classes in D&D Next (Trollish Delver) covers the second of the seminars.
