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

[overgeeked]

They're checking to see who was in on the Alpha playtest. I was but I forget what months that was, since it's been seven years.

D&D Next playtest packets started dropping in May 2012.

I think it's an HTML entry error, as suggested above.

Probably is.

Of those three, I'd strategically say Mystara since it probably needs the most love.

Yeah. That's what I did and why I did it. With the psionics subclasses and perennial popularity of Dark Sun, that seems like a lock. With the Multiverse UA dropping several Spelljammer races, that seems like a lock. So...yeah. Mystara.

My three were Dark Sun, Mystara, and Spelljammer. It took me about 30 minutes to decide which one to do the survey for. Still not sure it was the right call.

I only picked two; I went with Mystara and Homebrew. (But to be fair, my homebrew borrows elements from Eberron, Wildemount, and Dark Sun...so it's a bit of a cop-out.)

Yeah. I mostly do homebrew stuff or just use the older edition materials when running the settings I like. I assumed this was a "what settings to you want us to publish" survey so went with the stuff I'd like to see updated.

Whew! That was very thorough. But that's a good thing.

I realized I am very boring when I chose humans, dwarves, and elves as my favorite races lol...

I put The Elder Scrolls (Skyrim) and Fallout 4 in the "what video games do you play" section of the survey. A Skyrim book would be interesting (and I'd immediately buy it), if Bethesda was open to a crossover, but the "Dragonborn" name would be a bit difficult to work with.

They could just refer to the Elder Scrolls’ Dragonborn by Dovahkiin to avoid any confusion.

Any mention of my dearest Nentir Vale ?

Or any somewhat modern setting from less than 15 years ago?

No, I chose other to write down Wildemount and got a textbox to write in why I liked it over the others.

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.

Yah i think it was a mistake lol

And if anyone picks a different setting as their favorite, I'm curious what traits they list for it, so please share!

I picked Spelljammer because it has been my favorite and creatively applies D&D by putting it in space in such a wonderful, fantastic sequence of environments.

I also answered the 2nd Edition historical guides, such as A Mighty Fortress that I am using now. I always loved playing D&D in historical environments and my group is having a blast with it now.

I also answered Dark Sun. I owned Dark Sun from the day it came out and I loved how it adopted D&D tropes to a new, apocalyptic, wasteland environment. I also love the way it handled high-level campaign themes (10th-level spells, new class features through 30th-level, characters transforming into dragons, etc.).
