D&D (2024) One D&D origins playtest survey is live

[overgeeked]

I'm assuming they'll filter out my input given I started with B/X and that I'm old. But whatever.

They survey constantly. There have been large and detailed annual satisfaction surveys, ad well as other market research going on constantly. On what basis do you doubt that they have information...?

on the basis that none of those surveys (That I have been filling out UA ones, general ones ect) ask about house rules


what evidence do you have that they ever polled for this?

Crawford said they have data to show this. I see no reason to that is the information that they have...and after thus survey, they'll really have the data about how to move forwards, anyway, so ita moot point. Why are you being so aggressive over this...?

because you are claiming some insider knowledge of what they have, and appealing to authority of "the data proves it" when we have no way to tell what the data is or if there is data...

WotC has data, we do not. WotC claims X based on data, and observation backs up X. Ergo, we can reasonably believe that WotC probably believes what they are saying.

I wish they'd made the survey publicly accessible, to get the widest possible input from players... but they clearly only wanted D&D Beyond users to participate, so at least that's consistent. (To be fair, the Next playtest operated much the same, signup was required. Though it's hard not to suspect this time that there's an ulterior motive, boosting their DDB membership numbers...)

we have no way of knowing what they do and don't have

we do not. WotC claims X based on data,

and that could just be "I have seen them played that way at cons and my friends games"

and observation backs up X. Ergo, we can reasonably believe that WotC probably believes what they are saying.

I'm not saying they don't BELIEVE that it is right, I am questioning if there is anyway to even guess if they are...

Just tried to create an account in order to take the survey …

What’s with needing to use Apple or Google? You can’t just create an account using your normal e-mail address, etc. ???

Make an account, that’s how you are supposed to be able to access the playtest rules in the first place.

Nope, they specifically want you to tie in an existing account. You can also use a Twitch account, which is what I did (not really anything useful to marketers on it).
