I think that you're right. And I think Jeremy realized that: https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/969378882850775040 I think his only point was that it's important for people to remember that there are various reasons people make their character choices. And those reasons are quite...

Sure. We agree that we don't know. AD

What I've been saying really really doesn't boil down to that. Of course you should continue questioning things you are interested in. Of course it's always good to get more data. What I'm saying is that data you presented offers no meaningful indication that there's anything wonky with Jeremy's...

And since I'm on a crazy posting kick-- There are ways to model and control for sampling bias. I obviously don't know how they do their analyses or what ancillary data they take to detect bias (none of us do). But I'd be very surprised if a company doing market research would just ignore such...

Hm. So I'll take one last shot at this? 1) Your observation that you found 8 groups in which some players used feats is irrelevant. Jeremy is stating that the majority of players don't use feats, not that the majority of groups don't. I suspect if you did the analysis at the level of...

From the Wizard of Odds site (because it's fun!): "Mr. Wizard, if 50 different people toss a coin in the air 8 different times. What percentage of the 50 people will toss 8 consecutive heads or tails? Thanking you in advance. ANONYMOUS The probability of any given person tossing 8 heads or...

Only one part of several implied data sources. So who knows what the actual numbers are. But even at 50.5%, that's a large number of people not using feats given that many of us on this board like to use them as a matter of course (me included). AD

So, I hesitate to get embroiled in this-- But 8 non-independent samples would be considered a very, very small sample size from which to make inferences. Put another way, even if only 40% of groups didn't use feats, it would not be hard to find 8 such groups of the presumably thousands of...

I find these tidbits of information fascinating, and I hope Jeremy is willing to keep sharing them. While I think it's fair if some folks want to disregard it without seeing the data, for myself, I'm just geekily happy to get a sneak peak into the kind of information they have. Sure, if I were...

Um. Well then. I'm an idiot. My apologies. AD

I can understand why Morrus is trying to improve performance, and I suppose losing the page links on the threads page is probably a small cost to pay for speeding up the site. That said, I like to use the page links on the list of threads page as well. But usually I only click on the last page...

Nathan Stewart, in one of his fireside chats, strongly hinted something was coming on the videogame front. Sounded like this year, but don't quote me on that. He didn't provide any details, but he did go out of his way to emphasize how long the process usually is and how they tend not to...

. . . for Modrons . . .

Mordenkainen's Magnificent Manual of Master Menageries.

Probably also worth mentioning that they teased some big announcements for DM's Guild in the coming months that they seemed excited about. I'm guessing, based on the conversation, that they will be opening up additional properties beyond FR and Ravenloft. AD

I'm thinking Eberron doesn't get much attention in this book. I think Mike was hinting strongly at that in the stream when he said that Mordenkainen would probably tell you that Eberron was a myth. He went on for a bit about how hard it is to get to Eberron, that not everyone is sure it really...

That's a fair point. I think I was linking them mentally with the Githyanki and Githzerai, who have received attention lately as well. I tend to think it's likely that the Mind Flayer Story has planar connections. But, yeah, that's a couple steps of inference past the existing information. AD

And just to throw another log on the 'planar' fire, DDB just released an interview about Tiamat with Mike Mearls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy-uCQPJmI8&feature=youtu.be Toward the end he talks for a bit about the mystery of why dragons don't rule the mortal realms. Then says...
