You could have just created a new email account to download it? It would have drawn less attention to yourself than making a thread here asking people to give you a copy of the playtest no ? : ) |

Why resort to underground, shadowy channels for a free product? Especially since it offers you a conduit to provide tweaks, suggestions, criticisms, and feedback - all with the objective of empowering you to demand the product you really want? |

I think when you sign up you can opt not to receive emails from WotC. It is completely free. The current packet is pretty neat, you might as well do it the whole "registration" process takes 5-10 minutes tops. |

I don't know why you wouldn't want to sign up. If you still have an active account (non-DDI required) then you can still download the whole thing for free with no obligation to submit any feedback. Actually the feedback surveys are all done, so really it would be just downloading the free Beta.
EDIT: Oh, you do have to sign the OPTA (online play test agreement) but all that says is that your not going to try to steal their material and sell it or otherwise distribute it to other people who are not in the OPTA. Funny enough, there's been enough people who've been displaying and disseminating the info from the packets on their own sight that I don't think they care all that much about online discussions about it.
From my own perspective, it's not a bad game. Certainly won't replace my v3.5 or 4E collection and probably won't go for 5E game if someone is willing to run or play in a 4E game (as is our usual campaign on Mondays) but I can see it being a system people use to get into the genre. It's quick, easy to use, and fairly simple. The game doesn't force a cut-throat, gritty instant-death style that was prevalent in pre-3E D&D but neither does it promote a "PCs are invincible" style that later v3.5 and most of 4E had. The best advice I can give is that the system is being deisnged with the DM and group to taylor it to their senses right from the get-go. Your encouraged to change, alter, remove, and add elements that fit how you like to play.
