D&D (2024) When are we getting the second playtest document?

This seems like a good thread to pop into and ask about this, sorry if I'm disrupting a conversation. But I'm seeing like... a LOT of videos from various DnDtubers talking about how One DnD is broken and needs fixed, or One DnD isn't this or is that...

Was there a new playtest document I missed? Cause... they seem to be making incredibly strong claims, which don't match with... a single playtest document whose survey results we don't even know yet.

It's just drama queen being drama queens.

Yeah, I’ve been riding a middle line in my own system, where “Great Success” is quite rare on the dice, but can be gained by spending 2 AP to “push” a Total Success, where pushing any other result up the ladder only costs 1 AP (attribute point).

So, you can choose to do a super move, but only at a cost and only when you’re already firing on all cylinders.

Idk how that could be translated to D&D , though.

Top of the dome: Spend Inspiration to turn a hit into a critical hit. Natural 20 gives you inspiration, which you can either spend immediately or bank.

That’s actually really good. It uses the particulars of the system to make a semi-random move that also has an element of choosing your moment. Very cool.

I know that says Liefeld drew that, but his feet aren't obscured by mist or end in points, I therefore declare this a fake.

Among comics fans, this is known as the Liefeld Paradox.

If we start with the two following theorems:
1. Liefeld cannot draw feet.
2. Liefeld always draws pouches.

Then, the question is raised, “If a character has feet that are pouches, would Liefeld be able to draw them?”

Debate over this question among fans raged for years, leading to a violent confrontation between rival factions at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con, after which public discussion of the Paradox was actively suppressed. But it appears we now have the answer.

None that I am aware of, it is just the algorithm feed you outraged outliers like it always does.

There is a reason Nerd Immersion and others often set their thumbnail so they look annoyed or fed up.

Youtubers are going to make bold, controversial statements, won't you please click on them, please.

That and a number them don't seem entirely knowledgeable about the current rules or have even read the full Playtest Packet. I watched a few that claim the new Playtest says many things it does not or argue weird interpretations that make almost no sense.

There is a lot of confirmation bias that happens during these times.

I am as guilty of it as the next person. It’s human nature as they say.

As odd as it sounds I am both excited about some of what we hear and also not sure I am going all in. I am hopeful it’s a plug in what you like deal—-if they have some improvements over 5e I would be happy to use some of them.

As a result, I am open to see what happens. If you are already torqued off about 5e, how could you really listen?

It’s like disliking 3.0 and hearing about 3.5.

honestly seems a wise way of looking at this.

personally, I am hopeful to see what happens to see if I need to start looking for a new system but I shall wait and see.
