WotC WotC general D&D survey just went live.

[MonsterEnvy]

I really wanted a question to ask me why I didn't buy Dragonlance....

Well you don’t play or buy any books according to your answers so why should they ask that question.

 

[DeviousQuail]

Long, but worthwhile. The only written portion I dug into was asking why I selected Neutral as my outlook on D&D going forward.

Does anyone know if they usually publish any analytics from this annual survey?

I have played and I have bought and own certien 5E books. I just haven't bought any in the last 12 months or so.

"Did you purchase your first D&D books?"
-No, I traded all the MTG Moxes cards for the core 2E set. I am also a moron.

I sold all my MtG cards about a year after it came out, when I sensed that the fad was starting to end, and used the money to help pay for grad school. At the time, I thought I was a genius.

I sure hope no one at WotC is trying to create a product line up where every player and DM will purchase every book, because they're being set up for failure.

Exactly the impression I got, as well as that they want people to play the game for the sake of...teaching others to play the game, and also be the leader of a group.

"Why not?"

"Because you are not making things for me."

the fact I have the same answer and 5e is my first edition probably says something about them.

My brother sold a couple of his magic cards to pay for his wedding - including tux & the wedding gown.

I look at my boxes of 3E 3rd party stuff in storage and hate him with the baleful eye of Sauron.

Took me less than 20 minutes, I think. Got 95 questions, but I skipped all the ones asking how much I'd spent on various products cos I ain't got time for that!

I also wrote in half-elf as that's been my favorite race since Tanis.

 

[jdrakeh]

I tried to take the survey buy HOLY CARP is that thing long (my attention span petered out before the survey did).

I think they do it yearly, but it feels like they did the last one 6 months ago.

I both lambasted and praised them. They had me interested in their products up until about Spelljammer hit the shelves, and I've been losing enthuisasm ever since. Well, actually Tasha's was the first blow, but there's been books I liked since it - just less and less of their current offerings. Nothing in the upcoming year has my interest - I would have said Planescape, but not after what was done with Spelljammer.

Interesting. I fully agree with you about Spelljammer making me hit a brick wall in terms of interest, but I was pretty happy with a lot of Tasha's. The custom lineage ended up being too power-gamey for my tastes (several players I know literally never use anything else now) but outside of that I rather liked a lot of the options.
