D&D General Richard Whitters poll on twitter, "Will you be buying the newest edition of D&D?"

[tetrasodium]

I'm undecided what new system I will adopt but can say with absolute certainty that as a DM I've yet to see any shred of evidence that witch even considered them during the production of the 2024 ruleset as anything more than service providers for players. Given some of the recent dm hostile things raised in their preview videos I have trouble not being skeptical of it until that silence improves dramatically.

I think you are meant to answer on his X feed. We already know 90% of ENWorlders are going to buy it.

We should definitely have a poll July of next year and see what the numbers are at.

I'm not buying this crap. I will try to put some money to buy Tales of the Valiant

Who is Richard Whitters and why do we think his what followers think would be valuable?

I was curious myself and the answer seems much more notable than I expected.

Probably not. I don't see my group gravitating towards 2024 D&D.

Besides, sooner or later, somebody will develop an SRD for 2024 D&D that I can visit for free and whenever I want.

I think to be meaningful the poll question should include whether you bought the 2014 rules.

I agree!

Saw him do a stand-up show, he was an odd bird

Given wotc may or may not consider attracting MTF players when designing d&d stuff at times and they definitely consider bg3 players it's probably a useful sample. Given who he is

It's not meaningful in any case if WotC doesn't have demographic data on those users at least.

Given the quality shown in the questions making up some of the us "surveys" it may as well be professional PhD level statistical analysis and polling. Furthermore it absolutely provides incentive to investigate why even adding 100%of "not sure" to "yes" is so far short of "no".
