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).

Maybe it's a ploy. In order to get more people talking about it, they say we can't talk about it. Sort of like when your parents told you not to do something. What's the first thing we did? Exactly.

And what stops them looking at the survey themselves?

The employees can watch it, but then - being bound by this mighty DNA which you "sing" by clicking a button they couldn't discuss it among themselves... picture the dismay and frustration!

The first rule of secret WotC surveys is ... talk about it a lot in thinly veiled euphemisms.

Grumbled to myself and didn't do it?

I'm not sure this is the correct audience for the reverse psychology approach.

Damn, I just clicked it. Was I supposed to sing?

I think you're over estimating the number of lawful gamers

It is pretty funny how most people on this thread all know what the secret thing is, and are talking to each other about how we feel about the secret thing, without actually saying the name of the secret thing...

Would be hilarious if we all actually did get completely different videos!

It would be hilarious, but it’s definitely not the case, as we can see from other sources where people are not being nearly as coy about it as we are.

Yeah, and all the variations over the years. Nightvision, Infravision, Darkvision, Low-light vision. I would rather bring back infravision and seeing heat signatures in the dark, than using a vision type that allows any kind of normal sight in full darkness.

Splitting darkvision and low-light vision makes sense. Underdark races should have darkvision and above ground races with exceptional senses should have low-light vision. But 2/3 of all PC races shouldn’t get darkvision. It’s silly.

Yes, "Where There's A Whip, There's A Way"

You all have also basically revealed what it is, based on a little bit in one person's post and a little bit in another person's post.

Maybe it's a ploy. In order to get more people talking about it, they say we can't talk about it. Sort of like when your parents told you not to do something. What's the first thing we did? Exactly.

Or it's intended to help them in contract renegotiations.
