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).

Huh? Didn’t even consider them till now.

Yeah, don't forsee them being hurt by any of this.

I believe that you didn't get the advertisement for their new VTT if you chose that you are already a Beyond subscriber. Which seems weird. I would think that you would be trying to lure those customers in. I didn't get the survey.

I wrote that I use D&D Beyond, but I did get to see the video and answer questions about it.

I'd like to see them open up the license for D&D video games. By that I mean let devs who express an interest make a game using the D&D license, but don't force them to attach it to some WotC-driven storyline or force it to be canon. Just let them tell stories, either in their own settings, or established ones. It can be non-canon to the various settings. The Baldur's Gate games were non-canon for quite some time...it was only quite a while after their popularity they were integrated into the printed setting.

This "everything's connected" a la MCU approach...no one's duplicated it yet, nor are they likely to. WotC has a plan here, and they're following it, and good for them (honestly), but it severely limits my interest (and I doubt I'm alone that way) when just about every product has to revolve around some annual theme (which is both specific and as generic as possible) and so much is tied to digital endeavors. Enough. Seriously, enough.

Variety is the spice of life, and while options in various media is awesome...enough with the forced (bi-)annual themes.

No secret questions/NDA for me either, probably because I said I didn't use D&D Beyond or the official D&D Discord. If they only knew how much time I spend on Roll20, they'd realize I'm exactly the kind of person they want to be asking about this stuff.

I stand corrected. No idea what the criteria for their advert was. I highly doubt it was your birth month.

They didn't even ask me my birth month.

Ugh! I took the survey but was never asked about an NDA nor informed about an upcoming product!

 

[dave2008]

After watching the video, it didn't ask me any questions. It just started playing the video again. I had some feedback for them, but oh well.

I didn't even get a video, just a survey!

No survey for me and I do use DnD Beyond, so you can check that off the criteria list.

I spent money on DndBeyond, hardcover books and VTT but not discord. I don't plan on gaming online again in the future, but that's a different issue. Never got asked about birth month or had an option to watch a video. So who knows.
