Can't believe I forgot to mention this earlier but it is free legally at the author's WordPress page. The company is based on "pay if you like it" which is pretty awesome. Don't know if that changes anyone's mind!

Anyone interested in a DnDNext game once the Playtest is released?
I'm thinking about a game set in Waterdeep & Undermountain or one set in the 4E core world revolving around the Kerkoth invasion of Cerynall.

It sounds appealing. When is the playtest to be released

May 24th. Could be interesting, though from what I have been following I'm a bit leery of the direction they're taking it. Depending on how the modular nature works, it might alleviate some of my concerns, but we'll see how that works out.

Keep in mind I expect 0 modules in the initial playtest. I expect the initial document to show how they expect the core rules to work; so 4 classes (Cleric, Fighter, Wizard, Rogue), Themes, Skills and Feats plus the resolution system for combat and skills and finally some magic items. The DM's side will probably have a moderate selection of monsters and maybe a "please run this" adventure with pre-made PCs for it. Now the above is speculation on my behalf, but it seems consistent with what they have been talking about and the needs of a play test environment. They already know people will do all sorts of crazy things with it regardless, but good feedback requires setting some parameters around what is being done. That said given the pace of a PbP game I'm not worried about generating feedback

Usually I'm not a fan of digging into a whole new RP system to see how it works and how I should play, but lately I've been wanting to play a modern-day or futuristic sci-fi game, so I'll have a look at this!

Absolutely! Count me in!

Hmm. Might be. Depends a bit on what it looks like, if they even do international playtests and if we can even do it by pbp as they might not want it put up anywhere public.

Is the playtest something that one would have needed to sign up for prior to this? It could be really interesting to try out, assuming we can. Anything new has potential to be interesting.
Of course, I am still holding out hope for a FATE game one of these days too.

You should still be able to sign up. I think there is a form somewhere in the D&D Next group that lets you submit your email address and I'm sure it will be possible when it is actually released. It's intended to be a public playtest similar to the one that Pathfinder used awhile back.
