D&D 5E New WotC Survey! Learn About A New D&D Product!

WotC has launched a new survey about the future of D&D. This survey includes an NDA (which some people have not taken to well!) halfway through, which asks you not to talk about the survey on pain of being tracked down and fined, but it's about an upcoming (unannounced) new D&D product. You can find out what it is by taking the survey (or it's all over social media aready).

I didn't see any surprising secret questions, despite it telling me one was coming, unless "what do you think of half-orcs getting darkvision" is a big secret.

Just saw the tweet and took the survey….thanks for sharing,

not a spoiler but interesting with what it covers. I can see some discussion coming from it or questions regarding certain things.

The last one I took, I told it my age and it pretty much booted me out the door!

Hey Whiz, you have a video slide and question after?

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

That they're asking big sweeping questions about the core elements of the player experience certainly feels like we're either about to get another Everything book (which would be kind of a surprise), a race book (which would also be kind of a surprise), or they're spinning up for the 2024 edition.

No! Boo!

 

[EthanSental]

Hmmm, darjr did you? Can we talk about that part? Guess we can?

 

[darjr]

Mums the word!

But I can’t control you.

I don't think they really expect several hundred thousand people to take a survey and keep the questions to themselves.

They do ask

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

They do ask

They do. It's also hard to enforce and hard to prove any damage was done unless someone got a super-secret question about what's coming out in November and also, here's Chris Perkins' cell phone number.

 

[darjr]

I have to agree that I wish they didn’t do that.

I am just curious if there is actually a different item for each month, so 12 different things we could comment on, of if there are repeats. Mine was January and was bugged and did not play sound, so I was not allowed to give them feedback when I told them it did not play properly.

I quit out when they threatened me with fines after I'd spent 20 minutes answering questions for them about individual race abilities. I'll find out some other way.

They make you promise to, and claim your IP is trackable. What I got was lame, but I'll keep it quiet.

Yeah, that was kinda funny! I clicked "no" when it asked me to promise, to see what it would do.

I suspect the questions are all going to be revealed on Reddit shortly.

Even if they do bother to match up leaks to IP addresses, there are going to be thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of people who got each of those questions.

Mums the word!

But I can’t control you.

I think I got the same thing as you... what I got was pretty cool. Wasn't a new book or anything, but seems like a pretty natural evolution of the brand going forward.

Funny enough they seemed to show off several things to folks, but they sent me the video based off the month I was born.
