D&D 5E New D&D Survey, with some in-depth setting questions

[Greg K]

GOG's perfectly fine. Highly recommended. Also if you duck into Neverwinter Nights, we still got crazy stuff going

Neverwinter Nights? The original computer game? It still has has an active community?

Also I’ve noticed not many stories of people backing out it giving up on the survey

I have not tried GOG. The last time that I tried to fire up an old Gold Box D&D game the computer was way too fast-- fast even when slowing down the clock.

As @Parmandur said, they have a really nice emulator which allows for playing at reasonable speeds. They also have quality of life options available, running from allowing things in Pool of Radiance that weren't available until later games (like playing paladins and rangers, the Fix option, and memorized spell lists), to light editing (yeah, no one liked 1e level limits, so now you can play your elf to level 40!), to outright cheats (don't want to lose your magic items while travelling through Limbo in Pools of Darkness? Just enable this option!)

They also include digital versions of the various journals and even the adventure guides as well.

I would rather eat beetles than play the gold box games again. I can think of no redeeming features what so ever.

I hear some folks really like their beetles

Oh, yeah, for sure! Lots of.modding and fan servers still going.

Sorry if this has been asked, but will they ever release that data?

Never have. Though they have discussed conclusions and broad results from at least one previous one.

The 2002-ish 3d one, not the really original one from the AOL days

But, its still kicking!
