This is good advice, and can I add something: be honest and sincere in your feedback. Don't just form opinions, support them with information and details if possible. Provide solutions, or at least a direction for them to go. If you feel that there is something missing from the game that's vital, speak up. This is the best time to do it.

This may seem like a stupid question but figured I'd rather be safe, can we post our feedback to the playtest on this forum or is that a violation of the terms?

Thanks for the response, I figured as much but wasn't sure about how public this forum might be vs agreeing to the terms and sharing information.  Have been under many NDAs and have learned to be quite careful.

The playtest agreement says that you can share publicly your feedback on it.  It just restricts you from distributing the material itself.

correct me if i'm worng (didn't play 4E) but didn't the background idea come from D20 Mdoern,they seem very samiliar to D20M's occupations,in which you'd pick one for flavor reasons and get some nice stuff for your character (feats,maybe and extera skill or a +1 to a skill you already have)


Either way they look good,Hope to see more choices on those

Great Post Mand12!

I want to emphasize the importance of not viewing the playtest in prior edition glasses.  Try to take it on its own merits. 

I know this is difficult, for I had to read through the packet several times to clear the previous editions' notions from my head.  Once I read the packet without previous edition bias or expectation, many things made a lot more sense.

This is great advice.  I don't think most posters in the last 24 hours have read this.  There's a lot of unnecessary high blood pressure out there.

Good post. Heartily endorsed.
DISCLAIMER - Everything said by anyone is absolute subjective opinion. There are no objective claims being made by me, or anyone else, unless they overtly state 'The following is an objective claim'. At this point if you choose to be offended by anything I (or anyone else) say the problem is ENTIRELY your own.

WotC won't let us give them money because they won't produce a game we want to play.
