Do we know about when or exactly when the Alpha Release 2 will come out? Our group can't wait for four more classes!


Today.

Join the party at Alpha Release 2? When? :D


On Jason's website he mentions that it'll be out today. Sometime between mid and late afternoon.

Maybe...maybe not.

He posted that today, so he could be referring to tomorrow (Wednesday).

On the other hand, he posted it a few minutes after Midnight, so maybe he was thinking it was yesterday (Monday) and thinking in terms of it being out today.

Boy, I just made the whole thing suck again didn't I?

I'm pretty sure he was thinking it was still Monday. He posted that at 12:06 a.m., which means he probably started writing it before midnight. He also ends saying, "I need to wrap up some other tidbits here tonight," so that seems like he's still thinking in terms of it being the end of the day, not the beginning of a new one.

Of course, I could wrong. It's been known to happen. :)


What makes me think that he meant Tuesday was the way that he was talking about how he had a meeting today and he was talking in the past tense. Maybe I'm reading too much into this(lol!).

Okay, I hate to sound ignorant (and I often am) - what is the address to Jason's website?


Oh please oh please

That's a worthwhile point however. The meeting on Monday would make sense because of certain things happening with WOTC's GSL announcement. But then I could be reading too much into it too. :) lol

Today is a possibility. But if it doesn't come out till tomorrow... that's also a possibility, so don't get TOO freaked out if that's what happens! :)

I know everyone's really excited for release 2; and trust me, I LOVE how much folk are looking forward to it! We just have to balance the "make it as error free as possible" mandate with the "get it out fast, fast, FAST!" mandate.

That said, we're close. I suspect Jason is already at work, finishing off the entering of changes to the manuscript. Me? I just woke up. But that doesn't mean I'm lazy... I'm actually about 40 minutes ahead of myself today!

ANYway... I'm very hopeful Release 2 will be available either late this afternoon or sometime tomorrow.

HA! You are. :)

It was a much more interesting and cool and still a little Top Secret kind of meeting.

If I roll a natural 20 on my Gather Information check, what does that get me about this Top Secret meeting?

Dude, slap away. I'll complain about them needing to correct all kinds of stuff before it makes it to beta. You may as well slap me - I can take that kind of abuse.

That said, those ARE minor errors compared to the horrors I normally experience during alpha testing. So far, I'm actually pleased with the way it playtests through the Rise of the Runelords series. If they need a day or so to make sure that what's coming out meets the standards for what's already known, I say let them have their day.

[JOKE] Their ONE day. No more. Wake the outyugh, it might be fed again soon. [/JOKE]

Not true. I think our table says that for DC 20-39, you get:

The secret meeting occurred at Paizo on Monday.

James Jacobs,
Just letting you know there's one more person out here waiting on pins and needles for the AR2 release. I've got to get a new character ready for next Monday since my DM killed off my last character, so I'm really looking forward to some great stuff!
Grace and Peace,
Jeff

Too late.. they've been too freaked out since a week after 1.1 came out. :)

well my point was that after so much whining and begging to have it NOW - it would then be unfair of same people to criticize a little spelling error.... :-)

So with enough aid another checks, we can bump it up past 50 easy...

Sure...but I'll warn you that 40-49 is:

The secret meeting lasted 46.2 minutes.

Was it about the shirts Gary just posted about?

Paizo Employee Creative Director

Nope. Not about shirts.

DC is well over 50 by this point by the way. The DC lowers as time goes on, though.
