D&D (2024) One D&D origins playtest survey is live

[Parmandur]

This is, unfortunately, one of those things that people are just never going to accept no matter how many times or in how many ways WotC says it.

To some degree, probably inevitable. But the system is still working for them, so I guess they get the idea across well enough.

It was already common before Critical Role adapted it,

there is no way you can know how popular or common a house rule is

 

[MonsterEnvy]

When should we expect the next playtest packet?

I predict when the survey ends.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

As someone that routinely rolls less than average even on crits, I support this initiative.

Me too. We call it "critiful" when it happens.

WotC has some pretty I'm depth market research going on. Also, D&D Beyond has houserule information built in.

If it's mentioned repeatedly online on reddit, message boards, YouTube videos, actual plays, etc., you can make some educated inferences.

Well, Jeremy Crawford is the one with actual data on the topic, so that's the main point of real evidence. That anecdotal evidence lines up with what WotC says they have statistical evidence for is not surprising. They will have even better statistics after this survey, ans we'll see what sticks.

no he doesn't no survey, nothing in beyond tracts house rules

so that's the main point of real evidence.

they didn't say they had evidence they said what they believe... and as I am told when I bring up monte cook, one creator isn't the same as a company

They survey constantly. There have been large and detailed annual satisfaction surveys, ad well as other market research going on constantly. On what basis do you doubt that they have information...?
