[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 3483836, member: 41321"] I disagree. People are less likely to answer general questions like that. You may get a lot of yesses from people who thought the game was only so-so but couldn't pick out a particular reason why. Having more specific questions helps people identify what they did or didn't like about something. Also, there are plenty of follow-up questions to "did you have fun" when the answer is yes. Questions like "what was your favorite moment?" or "who was your favorite NPC from this game?" can help you continue to give players what they want. The players may have enjoyed something different in the session than you would've thought. For example, if they had a lot of fun talking to a certain NPC but you thought they had more fun fighting a certain monster then you might be surprised when you bring back that monster and they say, "oh, not again!" or if they are disappointed when that NPC doesn't show up more often.
