WotC WotC general D&D survey just went live.

[Mind of tempest]

done doubt anything will come of it.

Interesting. They have mentioned about other settings, including Dark Sun, and about rival titles (World of Darkness, Call of Chulthu, Pathfinder, Star Wars, Shadowrun and Warhammer).

They haven't mentioned the warforged among the main species, but the shifters or changelings. (My survey was in Spanish, and they used the word "cambiaformas").

warforged are hard to work in most setting the others far easier, the other games are likely to see where people are looking at.

I wonder if it means something that Half-Elf didn't make the list.

I think they'll be using another mechanic for half-species going forward.

They want me to remember gaming purchases I made back when I first played D&D in 1982?

Long ass survey.

 

[Retreater]

I took the survey last night. I think I had 85+ multi-part questions.
It seemed basically identical to the last I took.

I think Half-Elf and Half-Orc are done for.

While there was a lot of gnashing of teeth about them initially, it's not something I see brought up any more when people complain about 1D&D. I think it was more of a shock than a real dealbreaker for most people.

Seems like they were fishing for more digital and if I played Cthulhu and Pathfinder lately. Do not think I am their target audience. I did check off more physical things like books, dice, minis, and maps.

I wrote in Half-Elf.

I did as well.

I actually remembered, since I had to get my mother to buy them for me in 1983 when I moved to California to live with her. She bought me the 1e PHB, DMG, MM and Deities and Demigods.

 

[DarkCrisis]

"Do you currently play 5E?"
-Nope
"Why aren't you playing 5E?"
-Easy mode
"How many people are in your 5E group?"
-Um... zero
"ERROR go back and fix errors"
-No you, you worthless ass survey.

I think they do it yearly, but it feels like they did the last one 6 months ago.

I both lambasted and praised them. They had me interested in their products up until about Spelljammer hit the shelves, and I've been losing enthuisasm ever since. Well, actually Tasha's was the first blow, but there's been books I liked since it - just less and less of their current offerings. Nothing in the upcoming year has my interest - I would have said Planescape, but not after what was done with Spelljammer.
