Hi. I'm the principal story designer for Dungeons & Dragons. As appropriate for an AMA, I will answer any question. However, I won't provide any information that my company, Wizards of the Coast, considers confidential. P.S. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

Tomorrow the final AMA thread will be created.
I'm looking forward to it

Quick note - Chris generally won't be able to answer questions about products that we haven't released or announced. He can tell you lots about Curse of Strahd, but beyond that, we have several arcane rituals binding us to silence.

The questions people are asking Perkins are facepalm-worthy. Ignoring the slew of "omg ur so gewd!" brownie point comments, there is only a small percentage of meaningful questions.

...I'm not sure why you feel the need to imply insult to an entire internet community that might also include any number of the very same folks that regularly post here, but I will say this:

No matter what questions get asked, somebody is going to think they are "facepalm-worthy."

Did you ask some questions that didn't get answered?

I didn't ask any. I try to stay away from Reddit aside from lurking the occasional AMA, but that's as far as I'm willing to dive into that place anymore. That community has been insulted far worse than my '...' comment, and deservedly so. It's known for some bad subreddits and nasty people. Bad rep is bad rep.

But I don't believe many in the Perkins AMA are Reddit regulars beyond these events, due to the low amount vitriol. Better questions came as the day progressed, but Perkins went back to work pretty quickly and didn't get too far in.

I'll wait and see his thoughts tomorrow, however the "most-wanted" info he can't answer, so it is what it is.
