D&D 5E New D&D Player Survey!

[ART!]

I got a lot of questions about how I play D&D: in-person or virtual, numbers of people in my group, whether and how I modify content, what products I've bought physically and digitally*.


*I wish there had been an option for piecemeal digital purchases on DDB.

Did anybody get any of the autocomplete digital game titles they seeded?

Must be the end of their fiscal year - trying to get a grip on where to direct their resources.

I agree with that (even though I've not made any such purchases). From conversations with friends, I have the sense a lot of people buy digital content that way.

I didn't, but I'm pretty solidly non-digital anyway.

Ray Winninger did say they’d be surveying us lots in preparation for 50Ae.

I did, and it was Warhammer video games. I almost put in that it was Total War: Warhammer I & II, but that would have been unnecessary.

EDIT: Whoops! Misread that completely. My bad!

Any unpaid survey that takes an hour is crazy.

The payoff is getting content you WANT.

if you told me that if I took 8 hours a day for the next 3 weeks doing a survey (on top of my normal job) and I could get 4e updated and some numbers fixed with a bit of 5e and a bit of 2e thrown in (the right bits for me that is) and it would be published at the rate 5e was for the next ten years... I would do it with a smile. I would whistle well I survayed.

That took a while. A bunch of the question really had a "yes but..." where I desperately wanted to qualify, clarify, or expand on my answer, but with no option for it.

I feel like a bunch of those questions were ones I was asked in the last survey. Though this time no questions about how young were people I ran for. Last time when I mentioend runnign and teaching teens I had a screen or so around that, this time nothing along those lines.

I finished this up, but I don't feel like many of my answers were useful in shaping things for the way I would want them, except possibly for the parts I left out, like digital. My "no, I have not repurchased at full price because I don't want the you-should-charge-more for it character creation tools, I want cheap PDFs with purchase of hardcovers".

Also, exactly how does it help you to know that in the 1980s I purchased Moldvay Red Box, that there weren't even options for some of the categories you were asking about, and I saw kids at camp playing it and purchased it later in the summer but didn't find anyone to play with until over a year later because it was not a public game back then - but aggregated piecemeal into answers of people purchasing it for every other edition as well.
