The playtest has begun

[Nikosandros]

I have got the second email but it just directs me to the customer help page and no search terms brings up the playtest materials.

Anyone have any ideas?

Searching for "next playtest" does not yield the materials.

I'm in the same boat. I've tried searching, but nothing relevant comes up.

A tweet from WotC 10 minutes ago says that they are aware that there is an issue and are working on it.

Got the email, but the link takes me to WotC's support page with general FAQs. First suggestion for the playtest...make the link work.

I got the second email, but clicking the link sends me to WotC Customer Service page...

Same here

Ohh I love the Advantage/Disadvantage mechanic. Hopefully it plays as good as it sounds.

Spoiler

go to cust service page; make sure you're logged in
search for dnd next
the playtesting packet should be top of the list
you don't need to wait for the email.
If it's not there yet, just try again in a minute.

This thing you're telling us to do doesn't work. How about you just post a link?

Just found the files under the D&D segment on the customer support site.

Nicely formatted character sheets!

Urgh Detect Magic is back as a spell.. not sure if I like.

This thing you're telling us to do doesn't work. How about you just post a link?

If you've search while logged in I'm not sure a direct link would work. It probably means you haven't been given access yet.

Not comfortable posting a direct link.

I was able to get through on the Customer service page with a search of "D&D Next". I now have a number of PDFs and a letter from Mike Mearls.

I tried to fill out the form once, got the confirmation screen without a Captcha or anything. Couldn't find the documents by searching on customer service.

It worked fine after I filled out the playtest form again (it gave me a Captcha the second time).

So here's what I did:
1) Followed the link from the original email again
2) Filled out the form again, including Captcha
3) Went to wizards.custhelp.com
4) Searched for "dnd next"
5) Downloaded from the top link

Hope that helps someone!

Cheers!

Ahh Detect Magic is a cantrip. ohh lots of nice cantrips.
Magic user theme gives you some more to play with too.
