6E Play Test Support?

[Blakey]

Hello all,

Disclaimer: I've searched but can't find any threads on this and apologies if this is in the wrong place.

Is there any work going on to allow us to use FG to play test the One D&D UA stuff Wizards are releasing? I know the new rules are 5E adventure compatible, so there's a lot of potential to keep using all the lovely adventures we bought on FG, but at present no ruleset that I am aware of?

Thanks!

I haven't heard of anything that specifically suggests that a ruleset (or an extension) is in the works; but a lot of effort has gone into streamlining and consolidating code into CoreRPG which would ultimately make it easier to have more flexibility in rulesets and setting up new rules. I'd imagine that until there's some permanence to the rules that will be applicable to OneD&D there's not a lot of point in spending the development time to code for a moving target.

We're working on some bigger changes in the background that affect both 5E and 6E in terms of character creation. Since those are the main rule changes available in the play test at this point, we're focusing on those long term.

Do you expect to release this to the community to test, as the One D&D rules evolve, or will it wait until 6E comes out?

We're hoping to integrate it into the 5E content as part of making sure that the new changes are working well, as well as to better support third party character options content. It involves creating an automation tagging system that can be used for any character creation record (race, class, background, feat, etc.) Once those changes are in place, creating 6E play test data will be able to be entered into the program in a relatively straightforward manner (except new rules).

At this point, we have not received permission to distribute 6E play test material from the publisher; so it would be manual entry until they allow.
