D&D (2024) Predictions for Playtest packet 7's arrival

[FitzTheRuke]

Australian usage is similar to British, in my experience, don't know about Canadian.

In this case the Canadian is in the middle. When I say that "I quite liked it", I mean that I really liked it, but probably unexpectedly - like I didn't think that I'd like it, but I did.

In Australian English quite means large. For example, that was quite a stuff up or quite a dingle. Of course everything in Australian English can mean the opposite.

Playtest 7 better be out next week, is all I'm sayin'.

I wonder if they'll stick to the every-other-month schedule when we get out of the PHB stuff or ramp it back up a bit. Because at GenCon they were talking about packets 10+, which at the current rate is Feb+. To get the books out in 2024, they need to get moving.

They’re also not releasing them all on the same day. We’ll likely get them in the playtest packet order, i.e. PHB, MM, then DMG. They will likely be released several weeks apart if not a few months.

Are there going to be "several more" though? We've had them at the rate out of about once every two months, and we're due another one, which means what at most two after that? And only that if they go right up to the line.

And I presume in 2024 they'll cease because they need the books to actually print.

They've said the minimum plan is 10 total.

Saw this thread on “recent posts” and got excited.

Gimme dah warlock!

This summary is quite accurate.

Now you say that I kind of remember it, and thinking it was optimistic. I guess we'll see.

Better to miss the 2024 deadline and make it right, than to force it and make it halfbaked again.

Agreed, it's an artificial deadline with so little substance even the most diehard fan wouldn't care if they didn't get the 50 year edition till a year or two later & gave us chonky 4e/paizo style whole system WiP snapshot packets on the actual anniversary . Hell they would probably even get great press & lots of goodwill if they said they were holding it back so they could give them the time it needed to really live up to the legacy or something.
