Looks like I've been chosen to be a playtester for D&D 5. I already have the playtest docs and would like to start a game.

The biggest issue is that I am under an NDA and each member of the group would need to sign up at D&D Next as playtesters to be able to participate.

So let me know if you are interested.
 
Would I need any prior knowledge on how to play? I ask cause although I have always wanted to play D&D I have never gotten the opportunity to play.
 
Oh god no. Knowing everything is basically impossible. All you need to know is the vocabulary, how to calculate things, and what your character can do. And most of that should be written down beforehand.
 
Dave, invent time travel and go back in time to back roll20 on kickstarter, allowing you to be a gm on that while it's in closed beta. That system is nice.
 
Hey Dave, I'd be very interested to participate regardless of time and date.

Don't they have a built in campaign thing yet? I thought they were testing that last year?

If not, there's always MapTools.

The VT from Wizards I understand is broke as hell. I'll try and find some more in-depth information on it.

And you're right - I think I have used Maptools. I guess I just wasn't as big a fan as you guys.
 
I might be interested, depending on when and how frequent the games are and how they go down.

My Pathfinder group has slowed down and turned more towards Warhammer 40k, so it'd be nice to get some RPG stuff in.
 
I signed up and got the download pack. Looks good so far, as long as everyone sticks to crunching the rules and not the PC's it should be very easy to do and we should be able to do it without a virtual table.
 
So, I tried to download the playtest packet, and first I had to create a WotC account. No problem, right?

-This email and username is already in use-

Oh? I guess I already have an account, not surprising. I'll just log in using what my password should be...

-We are not able to log you in using this email and password.-

Oh, did I use something different? No problem, I'll just click forgot password and answer my security qu-

-We are unable to process your forgot password request at this time. Please contact customer service for further assistance-

BRILLIANT!

I'm looking at the stuff today. I'll probably make a decision on Thursday.
 
Whelp, I finally got it taken care of. Calling into customer service revealed that I made an account several years ago, and during some conversion of their databases or another, my information became corrupted.

It's fixed, and I'm now signed up.
