D&D 5E AMA with WOTC tomorrow 15/01 (10 AM PST) on DnD subReddit

[Nemio]

Hello everyone,

WOTC will hold an AMA on the DnD Subreddit tomorrow.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/403anl/ama_with_wotc_10am_pst_15th_of_january/

Good News Everyone!
To start off the new year Community Manager, Trevor Kidd will be helping us do an AMA with Senior Manager, Dungeons and Dragons Research and Design, Mike Mearls and Product Marketing Specialist, Chris Lindsay! The AMA will start at 10am PST (GMT-8) on Friday the 15th of January.

Some people including me were asking if a future AMA with Chris Perkins was possible and the response was positive

Below some posts that Trevor, Mike, Chris Lindsay and Nathan Stewart made.

Trevor:

Hey gang. So I'm Trevor, mentioned in the above. Just a heads up that Mike Mearls (mikemearls) and Chris Lindsay (onnatryx) will be dropping in to introduce themselves soonish so you can get to know them before the good stuff on Friday.
Quick follow-ups based on what you have here already:

• We generally won't be talking about products that aren't released yet, but always feel free to ask away - we'll answer what we can.
• We'll get Chris Perkins in a future AMA soon!
• We do love us some digital tools, for Players and DMs. We don't have anything specific to talk about on D&D tools for fifth edition, but it's something we want as well. When we have more info, you'll know it.

Mike:

Hello all! Can't wait for Friday, and I had to repress the impulse to start answering questions now. We'll be stocking up on supplies and hunkering down for a few hours of questions and answers. See you then!

Chris:

Greetings Folks! Chris Lindsay here...I just wanted to jump in briefly to say hello and introduce myself. I am essentially the product manager for the tabletop roleplaying game and I work with nearly every department here at Wizards from legal to sales to my teammates on the D&D team to Game Support, to make D&D happen. I'm responsible for working with Mike on the overall product development as well as with Greg, Greg, and Trevor for marketing... and a whole lot more. I'm REALLY looking forward to the AMA this Friday... I'll catch you then.

Nathan:

Nathan Stewart from D&D here, we have Perkins hard at work on some future story stuff, but we will get an AMA on his calendar sometime in the next few months.

PS : Apologies if this has been posted already but I didn't find it right away.

I think we were all just waiting for Morrus to post a recap

Not even 20 minutes in and there's already a ton of questions Mike and Chris have to wade through. It really does seem to be "Ask Me Anything"

Use the above to follow their answers. It seems that neither of them are hilighted as AMA subjects. Is there a way to artificially do this? Anybody know?

You can add them as friends and their replies will then show up in red.
That's how I'm following

That's about right

That works Great! Thanks!

Come participate, it's fun
I've had most of my questions answered already.

I asked about The DM Experience posts by Chris Perkins for example which were hard to find after the redesign of the site and Mike Mearls said he already sent a mail asking to improve it

No problem

Trevor also replied to something but you don't really have to track him in the topic as he's the submitter and will show up in blue anyway.

Btw, check the profile of Mike.
I think it's fun to see he's been active on the subreddit in the recent past and replied to people who probably didn't even know who he was
