Now announce the Spelljammer book! Come on!

ETA: Anyone got numbers on how long they usually wait between the survey and the book announcement?

That varies considerably: in the past, they've done UA testing as late as after they announce the book (Ravnic, to as early ~10 months before the announcement (Fizban material last year).

We know that the Critical Role Adventure is coming in March: this past year, the May book, Ravenloft, was announced around the time that Candlekeep came out in March. So, March-Jube before we hear about the book, even if it is the next book after Critical Role.

Specifically, the Fizban's subclass options were put into UA on 10/26/2020, exactly one year before release to the day. We heard about the book in June for the first time.

Pretty sure that was the most detailed feedback I've provided for a UA yet... will be curious to see what changes are made before the final release. (On a few, I hope we get to see another UA first... they need a lot of work.)

Yeah, same. I was pushing the 200-word limit for almost all of the races. I had to hold back a lot of my thoughts due to this for the Autognome, Giff, Plasmoid, and Thri-Kreen on this survey because of that.

Yup, lots of new ideas in need of polish. I always try to give plenty of feedback on these surveys though. The simple scale isn't nuanced enough to distinguish between like/not like the idea and like/not like the execution.

Did the survey glad I left my notes here.
