This feels like filler
Hope it is not in response to the thread about not being wowed with the 50th anniversary line up they have, and them trying to wow us.
See, this is exactly the sort of reaction that makes me wonder why people at WotC ever bother talking to fans. Good grief. It's a nice, warm, touchy, feely video that does exactly what it says on the tin. We need more of this IMO. Putting the faces to the names of the people that make the game that we all love to play. Reaching out and being human and actually having any sort of contact between the fandom and the people at WotC.The video felt like Filler.

So, I really have to ask. Filling what exactly? Filler is usually just pointless content to pad out a product. What product are they "filling" with this?
Weird void? Huh?Filling the weird void we have right now in the 50th something exciting should be happening or announced, and yet we have nothing. Last year or the year before that felt more like the 50th then this year does, I mean it seems like half the year will be gone before we actually get a product out so they have to extend it into the 51st year.
Its not even really a shot at the video itself, its just feel odd in this kind of void.

Playtest 8 hit just before December. Then you have Christmas, so, I don't blame anyone for not working too much over the holidays. . Ummm.... how much do you need? Yuppers, they aren't releasing a book this spring. So what? They've already said that there are problems and things will be late. Plus the problems with the Many Things book.
Sheesh. Patience. They'll get there.
It's not even the middle of February, it seems a but early to be making predictions for the entire year.They maybe not be releasing a book till July that is 6 months, half a year like I said. There is also no D&D movie or tv show this year. No D&D video games released or even big D&D event.
I do think there might be one of the novels before that, I forget which one.
So nearly avoid in a once in a lifetime 50th annivarsy of D&D and so far its the most uneventful year in the entire edition.

I'd like to have seen the 50th publication anniversary date get some sort of acknowledgement and shout-out. Maybe them releasing an updated historical article from Jon Peterson going over the known publication history and putting WotC's blessing on a celebration of D&D's Birthday at the end of January or mid February (since we found out a couple of years ago that book 3 didn't get back from the printer until after 2/7/74).I wouldn't expect all that much at least until they are getting closer to releasing books. Even then, I'm not sure what people expect. D&D is important to us and it has had a wide ripple impact that most people aren't even aware of, but it is just a game.
