>How soon after this thread goes up do you think Posthuman will release the next playtest chapters?
Hopefully fucking soon. I have a game session to go to, and this release may very well mean the difference between D&D and checking out a playtest tonight with my group.

>Related question - how likely do you think we are to see the promised 2017 release?
I really have to see the playtest more to know that, but so far I'll say yeah. Still possible.

>>53206596
new playtest when reee

>Related question - how likely do you think we are to see the promised 2017 release?

It'll be as late as Delta Green at least

Will Rob Boyle share the second edition pdfs on his blog when they are finished?

>>53209846
If I'm not dumb enough to buy a PDF for the whole class I'm sure someone else will be

DG has been consistently putting out good shit, though. I know the corebook is late, but all of the adventures are solid.

I don't understand how DG can come out with multiple new modules every month, while EP takes years and years to produce a small handful. Hell, Arc Dream has probably produced more adventures in less than a year than Posthuman has since EP was released.

>>53206596

Apparently "days" which doesn't bode well for an on time release.

DG has the advantage that it's got like, effectively 2-3 different companies/groups working on it, have at least one Patreon devoted to it which turns out exclusive content and has like 20 years of fanbase on EP.

PS is still like 2-3 guys as writers in their entire group then a pile of freelancers. Why they don't hire out more people for adventures I don't know, but their internal stuff seems to "require" a lot of playtesting.

The stretch they announced for instance I've been hearing the name of for probably a couple years as something they run at cons.

Afaik it's said that they will also be CC licensed. So I think so.

Oh man, computerized and mounted weapon UIs are "Interface" rolls now. Suddenly computer nerds are pretty scary.

>>53219027
As predictable and stupid as this is, I'd prefer they take their time and release something that playtesters can actually playtest, rather than a few pages of dissociated mechanics that can't be used for anything like the current release

>>53219815
Clearly their working draft is in a usable enough state for playtesting, because Bobby Boyle has been handing it out to extra special forum users.

You can stop trying to make that a thing, it's meaningless. That guy got like, the first draft for internal playtesting not what PS is intending for open playtesting release. As obviously evidenced by the post they seem to be taking some care to make sure the stuff that goes out to the public has certain fixes and formatting.

Have /you/ asked for old internal playtesting docs?

>You can stop trying to make that a thing, it's meaningless.
If by "make that a thing" you mean "point out how horrendously organized Posthuman's open playtest is", then I'm sorry to say but it's already a thing.

Do you think that they'd get to 145k $?
It would be really cool to get entire album from Scott Fox, I bought a few of his EP tracks and they are pretty good.

>>53222025

Honestly I'd like to see it, but without more of the open playtest to hype things up I don't see it happening.

False flag anarkiddo detected. Try using that (((augmented))) intelligence to come up with better b8 next time.
