Playtest Schedule & Deadlines

[Bruno71]

According to the "Playtesting the Game" blog post, I understand that the playtest will focus on each chapter of Doomsday Dawn during certain weeks (part 1 on 8/2, part 2 on 8/27, etc.) But it also said that the playtest closes on Dec 31st 2018. What is that deadline in reference to? Is that the last chance to submit surveys? Our group might only get through 1 chapter per month, so we won't be able to finish the whole adventure by the end of the year.

Of course. We'll finish the adventure. But I just wondered "what" was over on Dec 31st.

The "guided" playtest will be over at that point. We will still be collecting feedback for quite some time after that.

Is the expectation then to have the official 2.0 books out by this time next year?

Are there plans in the works for a decent amount of 20th level playtesting within this window, perhaps during Q4?

Great...thanks! We will probably finish the Doomsday Dawn chapters in February and I will still plan on submitting the surveys.

That won't be part of the guided playtest, but we expect a lot of groups will be going there as soon as they finish Doomsday Dawn.
