I think that folks who just follow development and don't play at all should give it a go, especially if they can find a DM that is all ready familiar with the packet.
This is a slight derail, but....
Anyone heard any rumor on the ETA for the next packet update? I'm about to start a Birthright game converted to D&D Next, but want to wait for the next packet...as long as that's not gonna be months away...
We just playtested this weekend, with two brand new players to 5e and one who hasn't playtested in 9 months. The group had a blast. More playtesting this coming week.
