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

[R_J_K75]

I find it hilarious that 5E came out in August 2014 but the survey only let me choose months 1-7 when asking when I started playing.

Or they're priming people for a single book drop featuring the multiverse of options.

That was a possibility I remember people banding around on the boards a few years back, but at this point it feels like they want to get full books of "genre" options from each Setting.

Which means only some of the settings will get published as only some of them have distinct genres to pull from. The kitchen sink settings won't be published under that paradigm.

I knew WotC was evil, but damn. Making me pick one setting as my favorite. The monsters.

Any chance we can get people to push votes for settings that don't already have 5E support?

Feel free to add more to the calls for Planescape.

I wonder if some of the setting questions are not to help them choose what settings to publish, but to help them market the settings they have already chosen to work on.

I think this is the case.

That is odd, though it actually came out in July for Wizard's Play Network stores: played Lost Mines of Phandelver on Fourth of July 2014.

I dunno, the most "generic" Settings seem to have an aggressive product sell already written up internally at WotC based on these options. Greyhawk, Birthright, and Mystara particularly seem like very strong and well developed arguments for genre distinctives.

I would assume it's something prosaic like the survey designer picked the wrong direction for that box. (Should be month 7 and later, rather than 7 and earlier.)

Yeah I found it odd too but forgot that the Starter Set may have come out in July but iirc the PHB came out in August 2014
