Sword Coast Legends “Head Start” Gameplay Footage and FAQ

MMORPG.com has published some gameplay footage of Sword Coast Legends, n-Space and Digital Extremes’ Dungeons & Dragons RTwP CRPG, on its YouTube account, footage that they originally livestreamed. The game is currently in its “Head Start” early access phase, and should come out by the end of the month. The footage is completely devoid of commentary, which I know will be appealing to some:

Additionally, the team has published an FAQ for those of you getting a chance to dive into the early build:

Head Start? Head Start One is a way for DC members to become familiar with SCL and the campaign creation tools. This being said, it is still a pre-release product which is very much a work in progress. Many changes will be made to the build people will be playing.

Who gets to play during Head Start One? Head Start One is for Limited Edition Collector’s and Limited Edition Collector’s Campaign pre-orders only. This is the edition with the statue, if you did not order the edition with the statue you will not get to play this weekend.

Are there other weekends planned? There are two other head-start weekends coming 09/18 – 09/20 and 09/24/ – 09/29 (not technically a weekend, but you know what I mean)

Why do the four additional keys not get access? The primary account associated with the purchase receives access today, not the additional four keys as this is for design council members only and the four additional keys do not grant design council access.

Why am I getting Invalid messages and Issues with login? For those having issues and getting invalid messages, we are working with Steam to rectify this now. This is mainly impacting EARLY adopters. Don’t worry, the game is not live yet and you’re not missing anything. This issue will be rectified before it goes live. If you’re still having issues later today contact myself directly or click on the link in my signature to submit a ticket. I’ll do my best to help you.

When does it go live? As there are many switches to be flipped and mystical do-dads that have to be turned, we are aiming for this evening (EST). We do not have a concrete time locked down as of yet, but we’ll let you know on our social channels as soon as time is established.

So what does the Design Council get to do this weekend? The DC will get to build campaigns and play campaigns created by other community members and members of n-Space. Character creation is available as are the DM tools. It should be noted that many aspects of the DM tools have been altered for balance and to prevent story spoilers, so not EVERYTHING will be available during these head-start programs. The player campaign will not be active during Head Start One, but players wishing to run modules solo with companions may do so.

Will Your Progress, Characters, Modules, etc. Carry Over? We are confident that campaigns/modules will be just fine. As for your characters, we’ll have to wait and see based on your progress and feedback.
