A13:  To extend on IxidorRS's answer, according to today's Interviews of Mike Mearls by Ethan Gilsdorf, the Public Playtest material will be available online via the D&D website www.dndnext.com



Gilsdorf: How is this handled? Do folks download materials from the D&D site?

Mearls: The materials will be available online via the D&D web site at www.dndnext.com. All you need to do is create an account on the site – if you already have one you can skip that step – and agree to the playtest terms. Once you do that, you can download the files and start playing.

A14: To extend on IxidorRS's answer,  barring any changes, yes you should be able to playtest both with and without a grid. I playtested in Cave of Chaos using both methods already and many also did at conventions as well.

A15: The initial playtest will just have the classic four races: human, dwarf, elf, halfling.

However, in a tweet Mike Mearls said that big races will be something they want to do for D&D Next, which would certainly be exotic compared to previous standard race offerings in the past without extra rules. But we will have to wait and see if it comes about.

If dragons are to be invovled, I much prefer to play as a dragon, dragon rider, dragonslayer-slayer, dragonfriend, or anything else *but* a dragonslayer.

Q18: Easy question regarding OPTA, Open Play Test Agreement: It says we should not copy, display, and so on, any of the material we get. How are we supposed to playtest it with our group of players if we don't show them the rules? O.o
