It's 4/20. They'd be high to put out something today.

I don't get it. What am I missing?

All they said was April, and apparently told the Summit participants about three weeks. Soooo...next week, I guess?

Yeah, I figure it'll make it next week. I'm just a little antsy. But they DID say that they were moving to a bimonthly schedule - today is two months from the last one. Next week is barely April! (I'm kidding, it's still April, but not much April left...)

4/20 is a pot thing.

Hopefully they figure out how to.differentiate battleaxes and longswords with an extra week!

It was the hip thing when I was at Berkeley in the mid-Aughts: the urban legend was that "420" was police radio code for Marijuana possession, so 4:20 PM and April 20th became celebratory toking times.
I may have known about it back then, I suppose. I mean, I do live on the West Coast. I'm not totally square (or whatever the current term for uncool is).

One of the supposed "founders" was interviewed, and the police code was never a real thing (420 is murder I think). It supposedly stems from the fact that the "crew" all had 3:00 classes that ended at 4:00, but one guy's class was clear across campus, so the earliest he could meet up with them was 4:20 (at a clock on campus). April 20th eventually was tacked on as the "Cinco de Mayo" day of Celebration for 4/20.

Yeah, I remember hearing something about thar. Not my scene, lol.
 







Yes, I am talking about a document with a lot of content by playtested, for example about psionic powers. This could explain the delay.

They know the UA articles can work as teasers of future titles, and any times they don't like we weren't enough focused into the titles what are going to be published before.

I know you are only using it as an example but if psinoics came before the other missing classes the internet would explode.

I honestly don't think they're still working on it. (The upcoming UA packet - they are definitely still working on the rules - it's just that they're probably a packet or two ahead of us). I think they're just sitting on it to keep the schedule to whatever they have in mind. (Why they didn't put it out last week, I've no idea).

No, it will be BIG, in that it's the rest of the classes (plus some new equipment rules) but I doubt that there will be any major surprises. Certainly NOT psionics! That's not even what this playtest is about!
